If you travel a lot this does happen from time to time. If you believe Smith, the issue is with Rex Ryan trying to keep their schedule on Eastern time even when they are on the Pacific time.
Quarterback Geno Smith and a few other teammates missed team meetings Saturday night because they went to see a movie and didn’t make it back in time, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Smith & Co. got “messed up” because of the three-hour difference between Eastern and Pacific time, the person said.
The Jets confirmed ESPN.com‘s reporting that said Smith was late because he got confused by the time difference. Coach Rex Ryan always keeps the team on Eastern time for West Coast trips, but Smith was thrown off because he saw the time on his cellphone, which showed Pacific time, a source said. The mix-up happens to a player on every West Coast trip, another source said.
I am going to give Smith the benefit of the doubt, because according to the Jets it is the only meeting he has ever missed. Wonder what movie they saw?
