“It doesn’t happen often where an NFL team or organization gets embarrassed,” “The Jets did that this year. You watch.”

"But everybody’s got a little stink on their hands. It’s not just Russell. It was a (poor) offensive line. It might have been one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. "

    That’s my impression and the impression of some journalists - a very direct criticism if you will of Jets by Payton. This kind of fighting words directed at another team isn’t common in NFL. There are several articles off this interview and they all had similar impression.

      Whether or not it’s a direct criticism isn’t really my problem. But putting “…blasts Jets: ‘worst coaching job in history’” in the title and “‘It doesn’t happen often where an NFL team or organization gets embarrassed,’ ‘The Jets did that this year. You watch.’” in the body implies that Payton said the Jets have the worst coaching job in history and that the Jets have already embarrassed themselves, which Payton never said. He said the Broncos last year had the worst coaching job in history and embarrassed themselves. Then in addition to that compares the Broncos’ last off-season with the Jets’ off-season this year and says that’s one of the reasons for the embarrassment. Which is very different from what your post implies.

      I’m just saying I dont think it’s right to editorialize the article in the way you did in the title and body to misrepresent direct quotes from a real person to make it seem like they said something they didn’t. If you want to comment on what he said about the Jets, that’s fine, but directly quote what he said about the jets like you did in your earlier comments instead of mashing together quotes about last year’s Broncos and this year’s Jets to make it seem like he’s saying something he’s not.
