    The media down here has gotten pretty mean-spirited over Rex Ryan, someone for all intents and purposes seems to be a pretty good guy outside of being the Jets head coach.

    I'd be a huge fan if he wasn't their coach, because the guy has brought entertainment back to a segment of the profession that has basically been terrible, trained P.R. bull****.

    In Ryan's defense, when you weigh a 1,000 pounds you need something a little more drastic than some jogging and boxing.

    You're right, I guess "eating less" isn't a viable option.

    WEll, I find myself in the camp that thinks Ryan is a blowhard, however I'm glad that he had that surgery as fun is fun, but he was morbidly obese and the hours NFL coaches put in was and is setting himself up for a stroke or worse.

    So Screw you Rexxy, but lose some weight as no one wants to see you in the hospital ya putz ya!

    As for Sparano, that is just the kind of guy he is, he puts himself in his players shoes and just starts grinding.

    I agree with padre. I don't see him as a "nice guy", I see him as a schoolyard bully. Talks alot of ****, then makes excuses when he gets his *** handed to him.

    If I saw my coach training like Sparano is, I would die on the field before quitting. I think The our players play even harder than they were, not only is Tony the kinda coach you love playing for, this just makes you play that much harder, imo.

    That's what they said about Rex last season. A player's coach. Perhaps they both are.

    Holy hell....has lap band surgery and has only lost 39 pounds in 3 months???

    My friend had the same surgery last year and lost close to 60 in two months.

    Tony's lost almost the SAME amount doing it the RIGHT way.

    Way to go Paisan!

    Just by eating right you should lose 2 pounds a week. You don't even have to work out. Just mix in some salads and stop eating the caloric intake of a Rhino on a daily basis. Since most months have on average 4 weeks or around 30 days, he should've lost at least 36 lbs. in 3 months if he wasn't such a disgusting blob.

    I want Rex healthy so there are no excuses for every game we kick his teams ***. I do look forward to seeing him cry after each game though, most fun there is. Don't have anything against Rex personally, and I think he's a decent coach, but he IS a blowhard and DOES crave the limelight. So let him have it, every crying session. I want Tony to get the limelight on the podium accepting the Lombardi trophy for us.

    You're kidding right?

    Lombardi could coach that team with Montana at QB in his prime, Barry Sanders at RB, and the Steel Curtain defense and there would ALWAYS be an excuse when we beat them.

    These are the Jets...the crown princes of excuses.

    A friend of mine had it done 4 or 5 weeks ago and she's only lost 8 lbs.
    She started eating solids way sooner that she was supposed to. I don't see it working for her.
    You have to excersize etc. with it and she does nothing.

    I think it also shows some symbolism here. The dolphins are trying to slowly build a force through the draft and a few free agent pickups along with good coaching while the jets are trying to quickly fix everything by signing a whole mess of high end free agents in one offseason. Just a thought....

    Wow...she's doing everything wrong huh? Sorry to hear that Debs.

    My friend had it done because 5 years ago she came home (8 months pregnant) to find her husband dead on the floor in the bathroom of an overdose when she never even knew he had a problem. That sent her into a whirlwind of depression that lasted all this time, in which she ballooned to well over 300 pounds from a very attractive woman of about 125.

    Finally she realized she needed to make herself healthy for her son's sake, so she had the surgery and has been diligent. She now goes out to clubs at night and feels much better about herself.

    Hope your friend wakes up and does the same thing.

    Rex Ryan might be a decent coach that his players like playing for, but he shows no class in his words and actions. Tony Sparano does, and his players respect him even more for it and play their tails off for him. I felt like the coaching staff regressed last season, Sparano included, and made some very questionable calls (like the timeout right before the half against NO for example), but I think that it's a learning process for them just like it is for the players. I have a good feeling about this year.

    no. The crap talking then the excuse dishing part doesn't really make him seem so swell, outside of being a jets coach. He belittles the competition when he loses. The scumbag bill belichick is a better guy than Rex.

    Have to disagree on this one!


    He might be the nicest guy in the world but he is nothing short of arrogant as an NFL Head Coach. He also went way overboard by exchanging jab after jab with another teams player. Crowder was also an idiot in doing the same thing but to me Ryan is nothing close to the type of entertainment I'd want. He might prove to be a really good head coach but I'll take Sparano over him 10 times out of 10....

    Well, I still hate the jests...always have, always will, but...

    When you talk about a person, even if he is the HC of the jests, for his health's sake, I hope Rexy does well and loses enough to make himself healthier. I feel the same way about Tony. It doesn't matter how you do it, lap band surgery or exercise and diet regimen or whatever as long as it works. My hat's off to both of them. Now DNA plays a big portion of both of their problems, but eating habits and physical condition plays a lot as well. I think you have to separate between the two men and their respective jobs. I have as much respect for both for what they are doing to make themselves healthier.

    That all said, screw Rexy and the jests...I hope then go 0-16 this year, next year, the year after that, the year after that, etc....

    That's kind of the underlying point. For someone like Rex that has been eating cheeseburgers since before he had teeth, going the easy way out to lose all that weight generally results in him gaining it all back due to not changing his eating habits.

    I would be shocked if he actually keeps all the weight off. When you don't work for it, it has no value to you; like money.

    Wow, lots of ripping on the guy for getting lap band surgery? I hate him as much as anyone, but seriously, he's a LOT bigger than Tony was. When you hit a certain critical mass (jokes aside), you need to drop that weight off ASAP for health reasons. Yes, it is POSSIBLE to go it slow and do it right. But honestly we don't know the facts.

    So lay off him guys. If he puts the weight back on, yeah, lets tear into him and make fun of the fatty mcfatfat. But everyone has to embark on this journey their own way.

    I was up to 255 lbs flabby myself about a year and a half ago, and dropped down to 200 muscular over the course of a full year of eating better and going to the gym 3-4 times a week. I didn't completely change my diet to be super healthy, but I can imagine how awful and long it would be to do that from what he was weighing. Hopefully for his sake the big jump in weight gives him some motivation to keep it off, and slim down to a healthy weight for him.

    It's one thing to be fat and humble and embark on a journey to lose the weight.

    When you're fat and OBNOXIOUS?

    I'm very proud of our coach for putting in the hard work to make himself healthier. I had to take off 60lbs a couple of years ago and work hard at having a good diet and getting enough exercise now. I have to, I'll be 62 when my baby (6 months old today, Happy Birthday Froggie)graduates from high school.

    But Tony...I've got some bad news for you brother.

    No matter how much weight you lose


    Rex will ALWAYS be the BIGGEST LOSER!!!!!
