Well, the Rex Ryan issue has gone viral and now he's backing down. Sort of.
You know that Ryan attended an MMA event in South Florida Saturday night. Well, according to Dolphins fan David Hildenbrand, the Jets coach was in no mood to deal with the nation of Dolphins fans at the event.
"As he walked by, my friends said, 'Dolphins rule, Jets suck! " Hildenbrand told me in an e-mail. "He turned around and said, 'Go f--k yourself!' There were others screaming things at him, which is why he flicked everybody off. That's when I snapped the pic."
And the picture has caused enough of a stir that Ryan and the Jets are now apologizing -- but not exactly to the people he offended.
"It was stupid and inappropriate,"Ryan said in a statement released by the Jets. "I wouldn’t accept that type of behavior from one of the coaches or players and it’s unacceptable from me. I apologize to the Jets organization, the National Football League and NFL fans everywhere."
Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum also released a statement:
"Rex showed extremely poor judgment and his conduct was inappropriate," Tannenbaum said. "He knows he was wrong, has apologized and we have accepted his apology. Any other actions regarding this incident will be addressed internally by the organization.”
The NFL is saying it will look at the situation and make a decision whether to fine Ryan.







Stop the madness, My God !!! , you're such a simpleton . You're freaking retarded.

Rex is fat, rex loves Buffalo wings and so do I. I`m not fat. Who cares. Rex has given the finger to someone almost with a smile on his face and so have I.
Whats really amazing is that Neil Young has finally won his very first Grammy.

Wow to be so sad to snap a picture and send it to the herald and 790. Wow are miami fans that jealous they have to provoke a man into this and then email everyone they know. that's so sad. seriously, i doubt the guy just told Ryan he was a dolphin fan. The fact that a journalist would even post this as fact is equally as sad. Does this help you feel good about the dolphins and help forget that you beat the jets twice and they made it to the AFC Championship. Your paper should be covering the probowl and senior bowl. This is how we lose money in this economy because the herald pays this piece of garbage to be a gossip reporter rather than a sports journalist. Getting him in trouble doesn't change the fact that the Dolphins still suck.

Oh I forgot. Do any of you have any idea how tough I am. No seriously I am one tough dude. Fear me.

Albert piss ant,
Who cares about who took the picture. The @zz wipe coach has no class and showed it in public. He claims to apologize when we all know he does not mean it. You can see it in fat eyes. We will see what the Jets do this season.
Posted by: Ace | January 31, 2010 at 09:52 PM

Rex is so fat, at Nathan's national hotdog eating contest he poured chilli over top the Goodyear blimp. Ate it. Then washed it down by popping the top of a nearby fire hydrant.

Rex Ryan is the best thing that has happened to the DOLPHINS jets rivalry in the last 10 years…thank you Mr. Fat, Drunk and Stupid…the two games with the jets just got a lot bigger.

Believe one thing NJ and all your fraud alais. I will never post anything stuipid, I will not threaten peope who i have never met or have any intenton of meeting. if i met you though it would be like meeting 12 or more people all at once. That would be something.
Your petty words can't get to me because i know who you are, or maybe more importantly I know who they ain't
