Jets Owner Blasts ‘False’ Reporting From League-Owned Outlet

Mar 29, 2024

Jets owner Woody Johnson criticized an NFL Media reporter Thursday for comments made about him on a recent podcast.

“It is yet another irresponsible report from NFL Network,” Johnson posted. “Please disregard.”

NFL Network is a subsidiary of NFL Media, which is collectively owned by the league’s owners. It’s an unusual scuffle because league-owned media outlets tend to avoid critical or negative coverage.

The dispute stems from an episode of the Around the NFL podcast that was published Tuesday. Host Colleen Wolfe cited a “very reliable source” to say Johnson and Jets coach Robert Saleh had a “very heated conversation” during the league’s annual owners meeting in Orlando. Wolfe originally said the discussion happened at a party “last night,” referring to Monday, then later said it happened Sunday night and was not at a party.
