Jets reporter says Aaron Glenn allegedly said the Jets are his first choice [Underhill: Thats a false characterization of Glenn]
We see eye to eye on a lot, but New York City is the greatest city in the country, bar none.
I don’t think anyone can argue that NYC isn’t the best city in the world.
Heck, I went there for the Giants game and I fell in love with the city.
On the other hand, the dynamics of the League has changed.
1. You really don’t need to be in NYC, LA, Chicago, or any major market anymore. You can become a superstar from any franchise.
You saw it with Payton. He became a household name and built a HOF career from NOLA.
2. I think I have mentioned this before, but with the way the League’s TV contracts are set up, you can play yourselves into the A game.
No one is getting hidden in West Virginia.
3. Everyone in this League is rich, at least when you get to the HC level. If you need to get to LA or NY for business, you’re just a short plane ride away.
4. And with Payton, Brees, Bush, Ingram, and (soon to be) Jordan; there is now a path for former Saints to enter the media after their careers.
5. Same with the HOF. You’re now getting a Saint added to the Hall every few years now.
