...at first i thought tanny was finning rex for activatin gholston for the playoffs. http://www.newyorkjets.com/blog/posts/1502-jets-fine-rex-ryan-50-000 02/02 ? The New York Jets have fined head coach Rex Ryan $50,000 for making an obscene gesture at a mixed martial arts event in Miami last weekend. ?It was stupid and inappropriate," Ryan said in a previously released statement. "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 general manager Mike Tannenbaum also issued a statement after the incident, saying: ?Rex showed extremely poor judgment and his conduct was inappropriate. He knows he was wrong, has apologized and we have accepted his apology."
50k? Really? Cmoon, it was really damn stupid, but that's way too much for that. They're really trying to send Rex a message.
50k is steep... but bullit makes a fraction of waht rex does. i really don't think its fair to compare.
How much was Brady fined for willingly playing in a system that gained him three "titles" through cheating?
yeah i really couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not. really though one is a league issued violation, the other a team issued. again its steep, but i think its about image. in any event, its like a paycheck or two for him, i would imagine.
This is just Woody protecting Rex by keeping the NFL out of it. By him fining Rex "$50,000", the NFL will just accept that as plenty of punishment. I wouldn't be surprised if Rex never actually has to pay the fine.
This is fucking ridiculous. I'd love to see what they do to Rex when he gets caught in traffic on the Parkway.
you're familiar with Lorena Bobbit, no? :smile: i think its as others have mentioned. its a stop gap from league repercussions. really though, that's my completely uneducated opinion.
Guess he NOW will honk his horn. THat's way too much of a fine but I agree a fine was in order. Mods - Please don't fine me for my avatar. I ain't got that kind of cash!! hmy:
