DH26 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Exactly, he is so desperate to get back into coaching he is just brown nosing every GM and player. This is why MNF is unwatchable. Thank ODin for NBC's Sunday game. He shouldn't have to brownnose just since he did win a Super Bowl and was the last coach to get the Raiders good. But I think he signed some kind of extension with ESPN though that probably has some kind of out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think he signed some kind of extension with ESPN though that probably has some kind of out I agree, but I think he loses credibility every time he opens his mouth. That extension means I pay less attention to ESPN's MNF or just listen to the radio commentators who are far more informative and thought provoking than McGruben.

DaneykoIsGod Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I just wanna say that this season of Hard Knocks is some of the best damn TV I've seen in a while. Rex Ryan is the new Bill Parcells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I love Rex but lets not get carried away. Parcells has a winning track record as a Superbowl winning head coach. Rex backed a .500 team into the playoffs because Indy didn't take them seriously. Rex as a personality, may wear thin after a while. I actually prefered Buddy Ryan.

CRASHER Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Rex as a personality, may wear thin after a while. I actually prefered Buddy Ryan. Buddy talked less.... I know ..... but he also won less... and Buddy had an unhealthy hatred of all things offense.... least fat boy Rex kinda sees the importance on both sides of the ball....and he never punched an OC (wait... did he???) Buddy also had better teams and maybe the most amazing front 4 I ever saw and still never won a playoff game....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant as far as being a larger-than-life personality and (potentially, in Ryan's case) changing the fortunes of a Meadowlands team. It's hard to watch Ryan's "We've got one fvcking goal" speech from the first episode and not want that guy as your coach. I wish Hard Knocks was around for one of Tuna's early seasons. That sh!t woulda been amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all their bluster they still find a way to screw themselves. Ryan has done a good job of convincing people that the Jets have already won the Superbowl, when in reality they should not have even made the playoffs in his one year as HC. Week one (this one's for you Crasher!!!): I think the Jets are in for a rude awakening. I would put that under "an unhealthy hatred of all things offense" would I not??

Can't really argue with that. They didn't earn that playoff berth last year after those roll-over wins. But they made the most of that berth and that should count for something. I like Ryan. I like that defense and I like what L.T. and Santonio could do for that offense. It's Sanchez that I'm least sure of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be the one time in the next 5 years I root for the Ravens.....Rip them apart!! This game could parallel last year's Jet opener when Houston proved themselves to be a soft fluff overrated team... and no I don't think the Jets are soft, but they are WAY overrated and made a LOT of sideways moves in the off-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez is a few years away, but I think he will be a great QB. A young QB learning how to win is tough and takes several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I'm VALUE! Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Just heard a rumor from Adam Scheffner (sp?) from ESPN on Mike & Mike's radio program: Matt Leinart is likely to be traded in the next week. Potential suitors? Raiders, Giants, and Bills. Goalik mentioned that Leinart might actually get a chance to start for the Bills if he goes there. So Clown, which QB would you rather have, Captain Party or Captain Checkdown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeCups Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Ticket price: $150 each Actual street value: $10 I would be interested to know what preseason tickets were going for in the parking lot for Giants and Jets preseason games....

Dawaye O'Connor Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 In addition, the Cardinals have given permission to Leinart and his representatives to look for potential suitors as well. This is clearly a sign that Leinard will not stay a Cardinal for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
