NFL Is Back But Brett Favre Is Going To Ruin It

Posted by on 25 July 2011, 12:12 pm

Welcome back to life NFL, and with open arms….kind-of!

Even though I might not get the same pit in my stomach like I do at the close of the MLB season, nothing beats watching my New York Giants win on Sunday afternoons; or the New York Jets lose.

Sorry, Jets fans but it is not personal, just coach Rex Ryan’s once inspiring spirit has turned to repetitive dribble that gives me ajetta. Ryan has put a monkey on the Jets players back to win the Super Bowl for three seasons, so any actual strides the Jets have made are considered a failures.

The Jets act like they are the New York Yankees in a Mets uniform and believe you me no one thinks New York is a Jets city.

Trust me when I say that LaDainian Tomlinson should run for his life because in 2011 he proved his legs could still be useful and go to a team that might actually win a ring.

LT has been atop my favored players list since he graduated from Texas Christian back in 2001, and anyone who does the “LT Electric Glide” is money in my book.

Now after the end of last season, when the Green Bay Packers rightfully won the Super Bowl, I thought all the non-stop Brett Favre would end.

Favre was involved in a sexting scandal, but also the guy’s better days were evidently way behind him.

Still, every week NFL fans endured Favre’s never-ending press conferences where it was all about him and no one gave a shit. Literally, it was such a waste of time because there were relevant teams who actually won that day who deserved to be heard.

So, when I tuned into ESPN’s 1st & 10 this morning I knew it would be NFL crazed but to have the first topic be about Brett Favre and the possibility of the Philadelphia Eagles signing him made me change the channel in disgust.

Enough about Favre, I would watch videos of Rex Ryan sucking on his wife’s toes than have to endure anymore about Favre ever. At least overhearing Ryan, declare his J-E-T-S the Champs in training camp and having the ticker tape parade added to the team’s season schedules makes me laugh because it is so insane.

Seriously, get a new topic ESPN because Favre’s era was over about four years ago and the Packers have proved they are better off without him.

As happy as I was to hear that the NFL strike was hours away from being finito, hearing the name BRETT FAVRE uttered was enough to make me vomit and swallow it again before I turned it back to the MLB Network.

NFL Playoffs: Who Dat Seahawks? Seattle Dethrones New Orleans Saints

Posted by on 9 January 2011, 9:35 am

The first game of the NFL playoffs was a classic David vs. Goliath.

The 7-9 Seattle Seahawks were playing host to the reigning champion New Orleans Saints.

The spread on the game favored the Saints to win by 10 or 10.5 points. That was no shocker, though 10 points is a large margin.

One fact was that New Orleans was the clearly the better team, as it was their game to lose—and suffer defeat they did.

From beginning to end, the Saints missed opportunities to score points and were inefficient in tackling assignments.

Even when the Saints scored easily to start the game, the Seahawks fought right back.

Seattle never stopped putting up points the whole game, so when the Saints finally got it together it was too late to catch up to the Seahawks’ 34 points.

So, is this upset based on the underdog having more heart? Or do you consider the inconsistency displayed this NFL season becoming the norm? Continue reading ‘NFL Playoffs: Who Dat Seahawks? Seattle Dethrones New Orleans Saints’ »

Coach Rex Ryan and the New York Jets’ Road to the Super Bowl, Week 2

Posted by on 16 September 2010, 7:07 pm

New York Jets fans can’t get enough of head coach Rex Ryan, but everyone else just wants him to shut up.

Ryan was the star of HBO’s Hard Knocks, but the minute the cameras left, Ryan kept stirring the pot to keep them coming back.

Everyone knows deep down Ryan is dying to kiss Bill Belichick’s Super Bowl rings. Guess Ryan forgot his Jets are winning the Super Bowl this season.

Ryan must have lost the team’s 2010 season itinerary that mapped the schedule, which includes the Super Bowl and a ticker-tape parade down the Canyon of Heroes.

Someone might want to remind Ryan that in order to get to the Super Bowl a team has to win games.

The Baltimore Ravens‘ Ray Lewis made this pretty clear to his old coach, both on and off the field:

“You still got to play the game. The game ain’t played through tongues. The game is played when you buckle up your chinstraps. So all this pressure he wants to put on this team, I hope they can cash the check he writes.”—Ray Lewis’ response to Rex Ryan before the Ravens beat the Jets.

Ryan can throw punches via his mouth with the best of them. Problem is the Jets can’t back up all the F-bomb quotes Coach Ryan is tossing at other teams.

Ryan’s approach is so far, not so good.

The “F this” and “we are the team to beat” attitude that Ryan displays with the Jets players has already flowed over into the locker room.

The team displays a sense of entitlement. This was inevitably going to happen because the line is too thin regarding how you are expected to behave and conduct yourself.

Sexually harassing a hot reporter in the locker room is about as ill-mannered as it gets.

The example to follow starts with the coach, and Ryan is sending one perplexing message.

Is Ryan the Jets players’ buddy or their leader?

It is almost impossible to be both, especially as a new head coach who’s trying to change such an atrocious team.

My bet is that the Patriots will lay a can of whup ass on the Jets on Sunday.

Than just maybe Rex Ryan will stick a sock in it and start teaching instead of talking.

New York Jets: Rex Ryan’s Hard-Knocks Continues To Shock

Posted by on 7 September 2010, 9:37 pm

What is Rex Ryan’s exact position with the New York Jets?

Head coach might not be appropriate any longer, as Ryan takes on the role of owner, agent, and GM.

It is no secret that Darrelle Revis is one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL. Fact is that any team’s defense becomes elite when a player, like Revis, can shut down the competition’s passing game.

Ryan knows this and surely didn’t hide his desperation to make Revis a rich man to get him back on the J-E-T-S.

Crazy to think Ryan would be in contract discussions with owner Woody Johnson’s money. Revis was present too, which just adds to a growing list of how unprofessional the Jets are as an organization.

Not to mention that Ryan’s word is crap, too.

Any ‘HARD-KNOCKS’ viewer can attest to this because Ryan stated numerous times that the Jets would carry two fullbacks.

Ryan was talking about Tony Richardson, whose leadership was so vital to the Jets’ young offense, but ended up cutting the 15-year veteran.

Latest news is that Ryan says Richardson will be back on the Jets soon. His excuse is that Woody Johnson’s wallet couldn’t, and won’t, guarantee Richardson’s salary.

Was Richardson’s $855,000 the make it or break it for Revis’ contract?

Enough so to go back on word, I would presume. Why doesn’t Ryan just have about another temper tantrum like he did on Revis Island?

Nobody puts baby in the corner, even if you are overweight and trash-talking before proving anything, NFL “coach.”

With the NFL season just days away, the Jets’ first game will be against the Baltimore Ravens, featuring the two Rays—one named Lewis and the other Rice.

I am a huge Ravens fan, always have been inspired by Ray Lewis’ pure love for football, which is rarefied air in sports these days.

The Jets’ first of 16 missions starts with the Ravens at the New Meadowlands Stadium…but according to Ryan:

“The message to the rest of the league is, hey, the Jets are coming, and we’re going to give you everything we got. And I think that’s going to be more than you can handle.”

Ryan will finally have the chance to prove everyone wrong next Monday night, and then he can say “Fu*$-Off” for real.

Hard Knocks Jets Episode 3: Fans Want Respect? Don’t Watch Rex Ryan

Posted by on 26 August 2010, 3:56 pm

The week prior to the start of the 2009 NFL season, a friend who happens to be a die-hard New York Jets fans and season-ticket holder told me an impressive story.

http://www.nationalsportsbeat.com/images/logos/nfl/New_York_Jets_Helmet.jpg

This friend had received a voicemail from new Jets coach Rex Ryan. Ryan had a request for all Jets fans to be as loud as possible for the Jets’ home opener against their division rival New England Patriots.

Any NFL fan knows the Jets have been a joke, and the Patriots are the scions of the league.

My reaction was “WOW.” I was thoroughly impressed. Admittedly, a little jealous too as a lifelong New York Giants fan because it made a fan know his importance to his team. My jealousy faded fast once I remembered this was the Jets, but if Ryan got the team playing—God bless him.

Well, it worked because the 2009 Jets went to the playoffs and that is more than I can say for my Giants.

So when HBO announced that the Jets would be the new team features on Hard Knocks, I was excited. I had admired coach Ryan’s energy and now could see first-hand how he worked his magic in training camp. I was excited.

Then, to my utter disappointment, coach Ryan is not the leader I thought he was going to be. Dropping the f-bomb left and right, while acting like a buddy rather than a coach.

Where was the line of respect or order? Surely, a team like the Jets could not be lead by a man who was more concerned about the cameras than the players.

One pathetic scene was when Ryan was doing check-in one evening at training camp chanting “Revis, where are you?” over and over again.

Darrelle Revis is the top cornerback in NFL, who is still under contract with the Jets for two more years. Revis wants more money because this season salaries are uncapped, meaning that the owners can spend as much as they want too. Continue reading ‘Hard Knocks Jets Episode 3: Fans Want Respect? Don’t Watch Rex Ryan’ »
