No judge would ever rule that an NFL owner be forced to sell his team because of poor on-field performance (sadly). Such is the saving grace for Ambassador Robert Wood Johnson IV and his teenage heirs, Brick and Jack, who reportedly have the ear of their old man regarding personnel hirings and firings as the team continues to stack losing seasons.

New York sports has seen its recent share of fail sons leading the city’s most iconic franchises – Hal Steinbrenner and James Dolan are right there with the Johnson boys. Yet is it a fait accompli (a.k.a. Same Old Jets) that Woody’s scions will fail, based on what we know about how they scout? Our hosts debate the long-term fate of One Jets Drive under Brick and Jack attack in front of the Honorable Judge Jake Asman, ESPN Radio personality and host of The Jake Asman Show, who settles this family affair.

Three cornerstone New York Jets – Jamien Sherwood, Sauce Gardner, and Garrett Wilson – have already been (Sherwood) or are set to be (Gardner and Wilson) rewarded during the 2025 offseason with an honor few modern Jets rarely see: a second contract to stay in the Meadowlands. This trio of former Jets GM Joe Douglas’ draftees have proven in their early careers to be worthy of such monumental raises with their play on the field… but are these expensive extensions wise when considering the team’s spotty track record in keeping their own? Mark Sanchez, Muhammad Wilkerson, and dare it be said... Quinnen Williams, coming off arguably the worst season of his career? All recent “Same Old Jets” second contracts, two being flops, one in limbo.

The Honorable Judge Dylan Tereman, writer for JetNation.com, assumes the bench to hear cases for and against the idea of new megadeals and ultimately determines if the Johnson family is making the correct move in opening its wallet to hold onto its homegrown talent.

The New York Jets have not won the AFC East since 2002, tied for the second-longest existing drought in the NFL. In that 23-year timeframe, the Jets have not led or held a share of first place in the East at any point past Halloween. They’ve gone 47-85 against the Bills, Dolphins, and Patriots.

In a league where parity reigns and only four teams occupy each division, Jet ineptitude has been particularly remarkable. Of the markers which embody the Same Old Jets mantra and its toxicity, the team’s putrid performance against their hated rivals is most demonstrative. How can the Aaron Glenn Jets hope to break the cycle? Counselors Richard and Walz lock horns on the subject in front of the Honorable Judge Paul “Boy Green” Esden, Jr., host of Boy Green Daily, to determine if and when the Jets will cease being “AFC Least.”
