The Resume

    (April 12, 1947- )
    Born in New Brunswick, New Jersey
    Full name is Robert Wood Johnson IV
    Chairman and Chief Executive of the Johnson Company
    Owner of the New York Jets (2000 - )
    Great-grandson of Johnson & Johnson co-founder Robert Wood Johnson I

Why he might be annoying:

    His name is a combination of slang for an erection and slang for a penis.
    He is a significant donor to Republicans and was able to raise $7 million at a fundraiser for John McCain in 2008.
    He initially refused to cut PSLs in which fans had to pay thousands for the rights to season tickets to games at the New Meadowlands Stadium that opened in 2010. Even after eventually cutting PSL rates by 50% not all tickets were sold by opening night. Had he not paid for the rest of the tickets the Jets would have had their first home tv blackout in many years.

    He was unsuccessful in trying to get the Jets a separate stadium on the West Side of Manhattan and ended up sharing a new stadium with the New York Giants.
    He has been divorced.

Why he might not be annoying:

    After years of being reclusive, he started making more public appearances as part of a plan to change the identity of the Jets.
    Over the course of a few years while in his 20's, his grandfather, father and two of his brothers all died.
    His daughter, Casey, died at the age of 30 in 2010.
    Due to family problems with such diseases as lupus and juvenile diabetes, he has often contributed to the battle against such diseases.
    In the aftermath of his daughter Jamie being diagnosed with lupus, he co-founded The Alliance for Lupus Research.
