These two facts are indisputable: The New York Jets are an extremely bad football team, and Justin Fields is an extremely bad quarterback. Everyone in the organization shares responsibility for the team's 0-7 start to the season, but a big a chunk of it belongs to Fields, who has played miserably and passed for a combined 91 yards in his last two starts (one of which saw him benched after halftime). Just about anyone can get away with slagging Fields right now, but it's a bit much to see the guy who signs his paychecks try to get in on the action.

That's what Jets owner Woody Johnson did when he took some time out of the NFL's fall meetings to talk to reporters about his team. While letting everyone know that first-year head coach Aaron Glenn still has his full support, Johnson managed to call Fields essentially useless.

And I said: Nothing Ever Works Chris ultimately blogged the situation and used my reply as part of the title of the blog post. Then shortly after, Jason Rodriguez’s post made the […]

Friday is Presidential Election Day in Ireland. What was a ho-hum electoral season got overheated when the campaign of Jim Gavin, a Gaelic football legend turned political neanderfuck and one of only three candidates on the ballot, imploded at the 11th hour over news that he'd screwed a former tenant out of overpaid rent 16 years ago.

Irish campaigns are a whole lot shorter than we’re used to stateside: The presidential ballot wasn't finalized until late September. But that still left time for Gavin to commit a passel of gaffes.

Question came up on TPM as to whether the blogosphere might reboot in Substack. The author concluded it can't, and I agree. Here's why. "One thing the blogosphere had that Substack can’t have is all parts were replaceable. You could use any blogging tool, and any feed reader and still be part of the world. Substack is a single company that has raised VC money. Vastly different incentives." And this has been tested. You have to use their editor to publish in their enviroment. They're unable to let you see their product as part of a toolset, it has to be the whole thing.
