Nothing wrong with that, but let's not pretend she's trying to be Ted Koppel. This couldn't have gone better for her. I think it was a matter of the Jets recognizing that she wasn't there to be a professional like the reporters that always cover them, and they took that opportunity to act like a bunch of high school kids. And don't forget this happened at a point in the year where these guys have been locked down with 80 other dudes for weeks on end, that makes you act crazy. 4's become 9's.
Now regardless of all of that you're right, the Jets should never have allowed this situation to occur, and the general mentality around that team seems to be quite permissive of this type of behavior. My point is that this probably doesn't happen if Erin Andrews, or another female reporter that's actually a respected professional, shows up at a Jets practice.

Doesn't this get back to the bloggers and press pass argument in the hockey thread? If she's not a professional and a joke then don't let her in. If she's allowed in, she has to be treated as a reporter.
