    Hard Knocks was great but there's two big speeches I've only read about & just wish I can somehow get a youtube or recording. I'd pay money just to hear these audio just once.

    1) Rex giving the emotional speech to fire up the Jets before Steelers game. The "burn the boats" speech.
    2) Dennis Byrd speech.

    I've never loved a sports team more than this year's Jets. Their emotion/passion is just so strong. They gutty comebacks & all the media haters. Hard Knocks insight into training camp. This is a whole roster & coaching staff that know what it's like to play like fucking NEW YORK JET !!!

    I was at the game when Bryd got injured. I was maybe 10 at the time and didn't really understand how serious his injury was at the time. I really liked this story about the speech and how it resonated with the team.

    His # is unoffically retired as it has never been issued since he was injured.
