Rex Ryan is completely bananas, and I love him for it. Not only does the guy run his mouth all season and live up to expectations by taking the Jets to the AFC title game, but now he's in Miami flipping off Dolphins fans at an MMA event. Say what you want, but this guy is exactly what the Jets franchise needed. He makes headlines. Thanks to him, the Jets are still making front page news in the off-season. Now when's the last time anyone can remember that happening?
Ryan obviously was asking to be heckled. First he gets interviewed and declares that the Jets will beat the Dolphins twice next season. Then, when fans start booing him, he gives them the finger and tells them to go ---- themselves. Woody Johnson came out and said what he had to say- that the organization was disappointed, and Rex himself even apologized. But both of them are totally full of it. Johnson's at home patting himself on the back for picking up someone that can put fannies in the seats at the new stadium, while Ryan is probably heading to a Boston Celtics game to flip off the state of Massachusetts.
Any Jets fan that tells you he is disappointed with the coach's actions hasn't been around this team long enough. If Eric Mangini was getting teased at a sporting event, or the ballet, he'd probably start crying, or just sit there quietly and choose to be the "better man." But this isn't politics, it's football. And even though the season is over, Rex Ryan is keeping up the same mentality that endeared him to Jets fans this year. The same mentality that pushed the Jets in front of the Giants on a national scale, and the same mentality that makes the Jets the favorites to win the AFC East next season.
