PLAYERS: Rex Ryan
TEAMS: New York Jets

The NFL playoffs could not have gone any worse for Rex Ryan and the New York Jets this year. For starters, they didn’t make it. After reaching the AFC Championship the last two seasons, the Jets took a step backward and missed the playoffs. Not only that, but their two biggest rivals — the Patriots and the Giants — made it to Indianapolis. Ouch. On Wednesday, the Jets actually showed some humility by congratulating the Giants with a full-page ad in the NY Daily News. Here is a shot of the ad that Darren Rovell passed along:

It couldn’t have been easy for the Jets to watch Super Bowl 46, but they did a nice job of pretending they weren’t insanely jealous. Watching the G-Men parade down the exact same route that Rex guarantees he’ll be parading down every season must be incredibly difficult.

New York Jets’ Rex Ryan Takes Criticism in Stride, Willing to Make the Necessary Changes in 2012

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan is well aware of his critics. When you put yourself out there the way Ryan has, you open yourself up to heavy criticism when things don’t turn out the way you’d hope. Although he’s known for his brash talk, the Jets head coach actually toned it down for the most part this past season, at least by his standards. Yes, there was that...

Apparently Giants Fans Are Excited To See Mark Sanchez At The Victory Parade (Video)

Someone forgot to tell this blonde girl that Rex Ryan’s predictions are generally incorrect. So tell me Giants fans, would you still bang her despite her lack of respect or knowledge of the Big Blue nation? Can’t wait to see this chick at the Yankees championship parade with her David Wright jersey on. Share this:

Jets' Ryan: Ready for next season but done with predictions

New York Jets: Most Pressing Offseason Needs

The New York Jets had a very bad end to their season. They finished at 8-8 and had a lot of in fighting. Mark Sanchez their quarterback has taken a beating as well as the head coach Rex Ryan. I think Rex Ryan deserves a chance to turn it around and he will get that chance. I also don't totally blame the quarterback Mark Sanchez. Here is what I think the biggest needs for...

The King Keeps His Crown: How The Jets Can Learn From The Giants

As difficult as the winter months were for the Jets, enduring their own crash and locker room dramas, as the hated Patriots and “Big Brother” Giants just rolled along, Gang Green should ditch any small minded “G Men” envy, and get out the notepads instead. Rex Ryan said that he reviewed his own performance with a pen and paper this past week while vacationing in Hawaii. The...

Jets take out full-page ad to congratulate Giants

Rex Ryan was wrong. The Jets aren't "big brother" in New York, a fact even Ryan would admit at this point. Perhaps aware they need to address this, the team took out a full-page ad in the NY Daily News congratulating the Giants on their Super Bowl win.

Jets Full Page Ad Classy Move, Could be Motivational Tool

The day after the Giants paraded down the “Canyon of Heroes,” Jets fans awoke to this full page ad in the Daily News. There was some debate about whether the Jets did the right thing by congratulating the team that trashed talked them the last few weeks, and often is looked at as their big brother. I don’t have a problem with it, and think it was the right thing...

Mark Sanchez should have been the Grand Marshall of the New York Giants Super Bowl Parade

I hate parades because they are a waste of money, but I do love a girl making a fool of herself on television. Who is Eli Manning in New York? Where is (Mark) Sanchez? This girl must be related to Rex Ryan or getting her feet sucked by him every once and a while.[Follow me @TravisHouser]

If Giants’ Super sequel doesn’t fuel turbulent Jets’ relaunch, nothing will

Hey, what time is the Jets’ parade this morning? What’s that, you say? It’s the Giants rolling up through the Canyon of Heroes ... again? That’s funny, because we could have sworn Rex Ryan’s best-selling book last summer — and just about every interview the coach has done...

Congratulating Your Neighbor – Do You Agree?

I thought of the relationship between the Mets and Yankees, after seeing the Jets full-page ad congratulating the Giants on their Super Bowl victory. Over at Sports Media Watchdog, I wrote about how this is a smart move by Woody Johnson and company, as they need to amend for their season of trash talk. I also think it could be used by Rex Ryan as a motivational tool; a more positive...
