Rex Ryan Gave a Middle Finger to a Mouthy Dolphins Fan! ZOMG!
1-liner, NFL February 1st. 2010, 12:15pm
Rex Ryan: Jets’ coach Rex Ryan was at an MMA event Saturday night in Florida. A Dolphins fan, clearly upset that Miami missed the playoffs and the Jets reached the AFC Championship game, started talking trash to Rex. Based on this photo, Ryan turned around and flicked the guy off. Don’t act like you’re surprised at Ryan’s reaction – this man’s father punched his offensive coordinator (albeit meekly) on the sideline during a game once. The geeky fan instantly sent the photo to the media, the story spread quickly, and the Jets made Ryan apologize. We’ve got no issues with the middle finger; the six chins are more disconcerting. The $250k fine is absolutely laughable. [NYSS]

can he get fined for giving someone the middle finger while hes driving also? its not like he was at the fight an some official capacity.

If ANY other coach did this, it would be a disgrace.
February 1st, 2010 at 12:19 PM
That fine seems absurd to me.
February 1st, 2010 at 12:21 PM
There are no words for how awesome that is.

Rex is Buddy Ryan’s son? I didn’t know that.

you said the same thing about the fraternity that blew in Massouli, yet love when people alert you/send you pics to similar “news”, and you can run with it proudly
When he gets whacked in 2011 or 2012, it is stunts like these that will make us look back on 2009/early 2010 as the halcyon days of the Rex Ryan era

i can’t wait to see how many different ways this is photoshopped, especially when the media turns on ol’ chompers.

A quarter of a million dollars is simply asinine.

Paying to watch human cockfighting is moral. Flipping off a fellow customer while doing so is immoral. As always manners are the most important thing.

Thats m’boy. Unless your a church-going ultra conservative, I can’t understand how you cannot love this guy.

Its the same amount Titans owner Bud Adams got fined for flipping off Buffalo fans AT THE GAME. Something about that doesn’t seem right.

Him not having the podium at media day is a real injustice to the American People.

Not to interrupt this meaningless post, but John Wall says he has stopped listening to John Calipari. Strangely, this makes Kentucky more dangerous.

Because he took a Mangini team that stumbled to nine wins and restored them to glory by winning…nine games. He’s a good coach, but people talk about him like he’s the lovechild of Vince Lombardi and Bill Walsh.

God I miss the Oilers. Those were some slick uniforms.

i agree. but at the same time, i bet Rex is going to remember the next time he’s in a public place that even if he’s not wearing a Jets Hat he’s still a representative of the league.
/the league doesn’t like the middle finger, but tolerates wife beating. go figure.
February 1st, 2010 at 12:34 PM
250k is a lot of coinos. bud adams is an owner, rich as shit, and was in the damn stadium at a game. i’m sure rex has some money but damn thats a big hit
February 1st, 2010 at 12:37 PM
Fetch, link?
February 1st, 2010 at 12:39 PM
i don’t think there is anything strange about it. unless that was sarcasm, which i think it is.
i saw it on jimmy dykes twitter.

wilhelm: but in the same vein, if Goodell suspends a player for four games and costs that guy $1-$2 million in salary because he is “tarnishing the shield”, he kind of has to whack Adams and Ryan like that to show he’s an equal opportunity meanie

Because he took a Mangini team that stumbled to nine wins and restored them to glory by winning…ELEVEN games.

February 1st, 2010 at 12:46 PM
should have been $500,000
February 1st, 2010 at 12:47 PM
TBL, I’m not sure they fined him yet. You may have misread the NYpost story.
Unless i wrote that on he got fined on my site and forgot already. Which is certainly a possibility
/just got a new vaporizer

Woody Paige is currently yelling that if the Broncos had only hired him–like Woody said! And none of you listened!–that they would have been in the playoffs. Christ. We’re stuck with him until the Denver news industry completely folds.

Rex Ryan is awesome.
February 1st, 2010 at 12:50 PM
i like his chalk board

Jesus Christ, Herschel Walker might be more imposing then Brodrick Bunkley and the man is 47.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:43 PM
that is a neck on broderick
February 1st, 2010 at 1:58 PM
yeah, he’s got his own pair of natural shoulder pads
February 1st, 2010 at 2:26 PM
Weren’t Ryan and Gilbride both coordinators in Houston when Ryan punched him? under maybe Jack Pardee?

Greatest Coach Flipoff since the Mike Ditka, however, Ditka looked much cooler in his delivery.
