JoeC36 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=6578074 Clearing the boards Jets coach Rex Ryan responds to all that fans and foes throw at him online EmailPrintComments 3 By Sam Alipour ESPN The Magazine Archive | Contact This story appears in the May 30, 2011 issue of ESPN The Magazine. Joe Robbins/Getty Images Ryan scorches the earth in his new book. AFTER LEADING GANG GREEN to back-to-back AFC championship games, Rex Ryan has earned the right to bluster. When he's not guaranteeing (again) a Super Bowl win in 2012, he's scorching the earth in his new book, Play Like You Mean It: Passion, Laughs and Leadership in the World's Most Beautiful Game. Ryan is too busy to troll fan forums, so we brought the best of them to the big guy to see what he had to say. Here's a shocker -- he gave as good as he got. 1. "[Ryan] can't manage a game or run a clock. He has proved that over and over again. Defense is the only part of the game he understands." -Posted on ESPN.com Sportsnation RYAN: "I know a thing or two about clock management. I certainly don't have all the answers, but I'm getting better each year. I think I'm a pretty decent coach right now." 2. "I would give the Jets' draft a solid D, bordering on an F. This draft was heavy with pass rushing, DE talent. They simply didn't get one, which is hard to believe." -Posted on ESPN.com's Jets message board RYAN: "I doubt this person watched one bit of film of any player we drafted. Now, if we could have jumped into the top five, we could have gotten a better pass-rusher, but I'm excited about Muhammad Wilkerson. He had 9.5 sacks last season at Temple. He's a potential three-down lineman." 3. "That's funny, Rex calling Vernon Gholston a phony, considering how much he publicly kissed Vernon's a$$ the past two years and now admits to lying about that. Who's the bigger phony?" -Posted on Jetnation.com RYAN: "There's not a phony bone in my body, but if I could change a couple of words in the book, that would be one of them. Anyway, when I called Vernon a phony, I was talking to Eric Mangini about his combine numbers; he never played to those numbers. Vernon is a great person, and he got better as a player the two years I had him. And I don't kiss anybody's butt." 4. "I don't think even Rex has much faith in Mark Sanchez being able to consistently pass the ball down the field despite all the quality receivers he has." -Posted on Nationalfootballpost.com RYAN: "Mark Sanchez is what I call a fourth-quarter quarterback. He's at his best when the game is on the line. He's been in the league only two years, and he already has as many road playoff victories as any quarterback in history." 5. "Behind all the trashing and jabbing in the Patriots-Jets rivalry, you can tell how much mutual respect Bill Belichick and Ryan have for each other. That's cool." -Posted on JetsInsider.com RYAN: "I have an unbelievable amount of respect for Bill Belichick. I don't know if he has the same for me, but I think he knows the kind of competitor I am. If I had to win one game with another coach leading my team, it'd be Bill." 6. "Does this guy ever shut up with the SB predictions?" -Posted on Prosportsdaily.com RYAN: "When I first came to the Jets, I predicted we'd meet President Obama before his term ended. When it comes true, I'll accept everybody's apology." 7. "I hear he claims the Jets have nicer feet than our guys." -Posted on Giants.com's message board RYAN: [laughing] "Come on, I'm not going to comment on that."

Matt39 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 That's funny, Rex calling Gholston a phony considering how much he publicly kissed Vernon's a$$ the last two years and now admits to lying about that.

Here's a shocker -- he gave as good as he got. " What i would like to know who amongst us posted that quote ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetNation Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 ESPN did a chat with Rex Ryan and they searched the internet for New York Jets comments. They put a few of them in front of Rex Ryan and one of them was from a JetNation.com poster. Legendary and totally heterosexual poster Tom Shane made his comment on April 16th and Rex Ryan’s answer appears below it: “That’s funny, Rex calling Vernon Gholston a phony, considering how much he publicly kissed Vernon’s a$$ the past two years and now admits to lying about that. Who’s the bigger phony?” . -Posted on Jetnation.com RYAN: “There’s not a phony bone in my body, but if I could change a couple of words in the book, that would be one of them. Anyway, when I called Vernon a phony, I was talking to Eric Mangini about his combine numbers; he never played to those numbers. Vernon is a great person, and he got better as a player the two years I had him.

Maxman Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Its not a good job...its bullshit. T0m doesnt deserve being recognized by the baddest man on the planet. You guys can call it whatever you want. But Tom has given JetNation.com a lot of exposure over the years. I am just glad he found a way to do it that didn't involve us being mentioned in a court of law.
