“I knew I’d get one shot to do this in my life. One opportunity. I’m just an average guy. I’m not for everybody. The only thing I know how to do is coach. For a while, no one had the guts to give us a shot. But [owner] Woody Johnson and [GM] Mike Tannenbaum did, and you know it hasn’t been easy. I’m not perfect. I’ve put them through some hard times this year; you know that. I’m not going to apologize for who I am.”

Rex Ryan — The Chris Christie of Football.
I don’t trust the Jets kicker, that Nick Folk…he looks shaky to me. And you’d think Rex would have an eye for a good foot…

By the way, if the Rams had picked Mark Sanchez and left the Jets quarterback-less in the draft last year, I am sure Rex Ryan would have been on the first plane to Mississippi to convince Favre to play. I’m curious about what Favre would have done. I think he would have balked at first and insisted on staying retired. But then? Who knows? From the looks of Favre yesterday, it might not have been a bad outcome.
Interesting.
A number I think would be interesting would be eight. And no, that’s not the amount of touchdown passes Green Bay gave up against Arizona . That’s the number of touchdown passes we gave up all season. And the biggest reason for that is Darrelle Revis.
