I'm glad as hell that Rex Ryan is our coach ... and believe me, my language is far from the Queen's English plenty of times ... but I just want to say this ... I hear so many people saying ... "its the NFL... That's how people in the league talk" ... but if dropping f-bombs is so common among NFL coaches and players, then why is this the first time this has ever been an issue on the show? The show has been on the air for about 6 years, right? Like I said ... I love Rex and I'm not offended when I hear an occasional f-bomb ... but there is a such thing as over-doing it. Maybe Tony Dungy has a point. I'm just saying.
Jets’ Ryan says Dungy ‘unfairly judged me’ Jets’ Ryan says Dungy ‘unfairly judged me’ By DENNIS WASZAK Jr., AP Sports Writer 2 hours, 9 minutes ago CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP)—Rex Ryan wants Tony Dungy to know he’s more than just a foul-mouthed coach. Dungy criticized the New York Jets coach earlier this week for his Rex-pletive-filled appearance on the premiere episode of HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” “The thing is, I’ve been a big admirer of Tony Dungy, and I’m sure a lot of people are,” Ryan said Wednesday. “I felt that he unfairly judged me, and that was disappointing to me.” Dungy, a devout Christian, told “The Dan Patrick Show” on Monday that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell should talk to Ryan about his excessive cursing because, “I just don’t think the league needs that.” Dungy, who won a Super Bowl with Indianapolis, is an NFL analyst for NBC. Ryan said he called Dungy and left a message that included his telephone number, and anticipated hearing back from him. “I’ve invited him to come to camp or any time to spend the day with me and the organization,” Ryan said. “I think maybe he’ll have a different take on it.” Ryan said last week he only cared that he disappointed his mother, Doris, but apologized if he offended “more people than I usually offend.” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said there is no chat planned between Goodell and Ryan. “No, Rex’s mother delivered the message,” Aiello told The Associated Press. Ryan was asked if he was surprised Dungy suggested that the commissioner get involved. “I think I was more surprised that he judged me,” Ryan said. Ryan was criticized by some fans and media for what they thought was an excessive use of profanity during the show, which first airs at 10 p.m. EDT on Wednesdays. The five-part “Hard Knocks” series chronicles the team through training camp. In the premiere, Ryan is shown using profanity during a team meeting and while talking to players and coaches. HBO posts warnings to viewers about the language contained in the program, and replays have profanity bleeped out during the day. He also reiterated Wednesday that he will always be himself—colorful language and all. “I’m a good person,” Ryan said. “Just because somebody cusses or whatever doesn’t make them a bad person. Just because a guy doesn’t cuss doesn’t make him a good person. So, I’ll stand by my merits.” Ryan said he had “no idea” if there would be less profanity in the second episode. Then he was informed that HBO’s preview indicated sharp-tongued special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff would be featured. “Then,” he said with a grin, “there could be more.” http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-jets-ryan-dungy
Y'all keep bringing up Manning when explaining why you don't like Dungy as a coach....I'm still trying to figure out Tampa Bay. Year after year they get pushed out of the playoffs. Dungy gets shit canned. Insert Gruden. First year...Super Bowl. Wtf?
Michael Kay was ripping Dungy a new one today. Brought up the Vick point and how Dungy is a little snitch who runs to the principal. Went on to say that he respects Rex a lot for taking the high-road, because he (Kay) would have probably responded by using profanity at Dungy lol.
Dungy. I think Buddy was referring to Dungy's comment, "I wouldn't hire Rex Ryan." So Buddy retorted, "Rex would never apply to work for 'what's his name'." (Or whatever the exact wording Buddy used was.)
ahh tru yea that makes sense what's better is he called him 'wats his name' and then referred to him as dungy later in the interview lol
You know the guy that would hire some guy that sticks electrified rods up dogs asses to torture them for shits and giggles, you know that guy.
Possibly. See, the thing is Buddy Ryan frequently referred to his own players by their jersey numbers. He's just not good with names. Some of his interviews after games with the Eagles and Cardinals were classic.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/437803-tony-dungys-moral-superiority-not-so-superior-after-all Well apparently Dungy is so high and mighty that he wouldn’t want his players exposed to someone like that. Cause ya'know, first thing Jet’s players do when they go home after hearing Rex Ryan curse is kill their dogs like Michael Vick and then shoot innocent bystanders like Marvin Harrison.
