Christopher Johnson did not have any visible bruises or welts when he introduced Joe Douglas as the new Jets general manager on Tuesday.
It would not have been surprising if he did. After all, he has taken a beating over the last month.
Johnson’s decision to fire Mike Maccagnan brought a swift and predictable reaction. The Jets were ridiculed — the circus was back in town, dysfunction was back, same old Jets — and Johnson was the one who took the most hits. He was portrayed as a clueless rich guy who was bamboozled by coach Adam Gase in a power struggle.
