‘People Who Go In That Locker Room Come Out…Different,’ Jets Custodian Warns Aaron Glenn

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—Speaking grimly as he mopped the floor beneath flickering fluorescent lights, longtime MetLife Stadium custodian Keith Browning reportedly approached first year New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn Friday and warned him that “people who go in that locker room come out…different.” “You be careful in there, Coach—I’ve seen a lot of good men walk into that locker room with big dreams only to come out broken, no light in their eyes…ghosts of who they once were,”  said Browning, who suddenly paused as an eerie sobbing sound echoed through the ceiling vents, and then whispered, “That’s Gase—no one’s seen him since the 2-14 season…but you can still hear him.” “Things die in that room, Coach. Hopes, game plans, careers. You see a young core, you think maybe this time it’ll be different. But it won’t. It starts with a couple blown double-digit leads. Then it’s week five and you’re up on the podium praising ‘the fight in the guys’ after a 30-7 loss. Then, next thing you know, your DC’s gone rogue, Trevor Siemian is under center again, and you’re throwing challenge flags you don’t remember holding. Everyone thinks they can fix this team, but they can’t. You can only survive it…if you’re lucky.” At press time, Browning was said to have handed Glenn a laminated play sheet with the word “RUN!” scrawled in red over the formations.
