He’s a better fit in NYC. I don’t think Atlanta was looking for someone as loud and brash as him. Plus the foods better!

Adam Schefter’s a little late on that one. That’s been quoted on pretty much all the news articles this week.

You guys remember all the “fat” jokes and insults opposing SBN bloggers would tell us about Rex in a few arguments here? Ha ha ha, I remember one guy from the Miami blog saying something like “Well at least Sporano isn’t fat” or something rather…Like that was their only response in an argument because they didn’t have an intelligent football related response to our insults…lol.

Sporano isn’t fat? No he just wears pullovers that are twice his size

how so?

if i brought this up in response to a football related argument than you could say that, but he insulted finz fan’s intelligence, so IMO it in no way proves his point.

You used a post here to imply that some dude who mixed up two pieces of paper that were facing away from him somehow represents that Jets fans are stupid. You could have spent that time writing something related to football. His point was a lot of fans don’t relate their points to football.

Come on, man. You’re better than that. You can bring some insight from a rival fan.

what insight do u want me to bring

on a post thats about a coach admitting hes fat.
all i did was defend the “supposed” miami fan from the “miami blog”
but ya definitely i wud be wrong if i had posted this on my own without being instigated or as a response to an intelligent argument.
apologize if it was a little dumb but when the guy is going hahaha and lol at a dolphins fan, i have to step in.

ok dude. justify it any way you want. what did you exactly accomplish? yes, we all got pissed off to see the same old picture we’ve seen a thousand times.

we don’t overreact here just because some guy goes “hahaha and lol” at us or otherwise. there are other blogs for that.

i would say by doing something “a little dumb” that you ended up having to apologize for.

I like this tweet though:

 @EricStangel

Just saw Rex Ryan at market stocking up on food. I said “Preparing for the snow, huh?” He said “What snow?”

Wait a second, are you guys trying to say that our Rex Ryan is fat????

Guy can poke fun at himself, calling him fat really isn’t a critisicism lol it’s just a fact, he knows it and he can have some fun with it, and I love that about him, will rip some of the players, but always willing to rip himself first. You all remember through TC and his liquid diet lol was brilliant
