FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Mike Tannenbaum often stays awake in the middle of the night as his mind races.
As the New York Jets’ general manager, there’s always plenty to think about — especially when the pressure’s on to put together the team that finally returns the franchise to the Super Bowl.
Tannenbaum has become a common target of impatient Jets fans, wondering when — or if — he will address some of the team’s biggest needs with the start of the regular season just a few weeks away.
In a sit-down with The Associated Press, Tannenbaum says he puts the most pressure on himself, and that he’s the franchise’s most competitive person. He also laughs at the notion that he might not be doing enough to put together a winning team.
