If you’re struggling to keep up with the daily demands of your job, you may need to sacrifice your off-time in order to get the best results. Maybe you can’t have a cute autumn date night or fly to another state to visit your folks. Especially if you think you’re about to lose your job for your terrible performance.
And that’s why I love sports radio because it’s the final place where people really tell it like it is.
Thank you to WFAN host, Shaun Morash, for really going in on Zach Wilson who spent the New York Jets bye week out in Utah with his girlfriend pumpkin picking and shit when he knew he had the most important game of his life coming up: a home game against the 2-win New York Giants.
Zach Wilson is about to play the most important football games of his career and rather than stay back and grind in NJ he took his gf back home to Utah to go apple picking. Disgrace pic.twitter.com/wi977ZaiSZ

“Zach Wilson, in what is about to be the biggest stretch of his career, decided it was a good time to take his girlfriend to Utah to apple and pumpkin pick and go to haunted houses … I’m sorry, the Jets stink after their byes. I believe 52 guys could’ve gone and visited families … The quarterback, the leader, needs to be at or around that facility all week last week, and Zach Wilson has not done enough to get his a— on a plane with his girlfriend and go to Utah for a week.”
Now, I know what you’re thinking.
Why does this guy who looks like he wears a t-shirt in the pool and spends an absurd amount of time pulling up his pants that are almost constantly falling below his exposed ass crack, have anything to say about how a professional athlete spends his week off.
But Morash is saying what no one else has the courage to say aloud.
We have become so conditioned to cuddle these athletes that we have allowed them to get away with seeing their loved ones during the season when in reality, their eyes should be bloodshot from nonstop film-watching. Wilson should be Ludovico techniquing his way through the Giants 3rd down defense.
Zach Wilson 1 has led the Jets to back-to-back victories, including a win over the defending NFC champion, Philadelphia Eagles.
But he shouldn’t be taking his foot off the gas to finger-paint with his flat-assed girlfriend in Utah.
He should be intensely studying the New York Giants 23rd-ranked defense.
Sure, the Giants only have 2 wins this season and their starting quarterback can’t really practice because his spine hurts but they won their game last week against Washington which means they’re coming in hot on a win streak.
Guys like me and Shaun Morash understand what it takes to succeed at the highest level. Sure, he works for a radio show station no one listens to and I wrote for a website no one reads but it’s because people fear us for being truth-tellers.
I spend all of my days off preparing for work.
I know there are people who believe the bye week is crucial in allowing some players to take a break from a physically and emotionally overwhelming sport but that is a loser mentality.
Alpha’s don’t need rest.
You should be grinding film, tossing the ball through a tire swing in the backyard, revisiting the playbook—whatever it takes to get an advantage over a Giants team ranked 31st in DVOA.
Losers spend time with their girlfriends.
You can pick alllll the apples you want after lifting the Lombardi trophy over your head with a 600-yard, 9 touchdown performance. Anything less than that and you’re letting your team down. You’re letting Jets fans down.
Michael Jordan is the greatest winner of all time and he wouldn’t be caught dead with his wife and children. Zach Wilson really needs to look himself in the mirror and figure out if he wants to be a Hall of Famer quarterback or a normal guy who spends his days off not working.
This is why I was excited to see Aaron Rodgers play for the Jets. That man would NEVER spend the bye week with his family. 2
Is Zach Wilson woefully unprepared to face the juggernaut Giants? Leave a comment below. Respond on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Or shoot me an email at Deadseriousmailbag@gmail.com. Let’s chat, bay-beeeee. Let me know if you think it’s okay for Zach Wilson to spend his day off not working so I can’t give you a radio show-style rant about hard work.
- Whose name should definitely be spelled with a K and not an H.
- He’s too busy doing his own research on vaccines in 2023 when no one gives a shit about Covid-19 anymore. No one really cared to begin with they were just bored from staying in their house too long.
