  • I don't know what Rex has against Tebow, but I'm guessing he just doesn't agree with him on religion. Rex Ryan is every bit the curmudgeon that his father was, and just as willing to hurt his team and himself just to make his point.

    I'll never forget Buddy Ryan going to Philly as his first head coaching gig and cutting young WR Chris Carter just before the season, saying "all he does is score touchdowns." (Carter had 11 TDs the previous year; the real reason for the axe was reportedly his use of marijuana.) Carter landed in Minnesota and put up over 1,000 career receptions and laid waste to the Central for another 10-12 years.

    • You can tell you are a foreign outsider because you know nothing about America and your ideas of America come pre-packaged in cowboy boots and Westerns like some foreigner's 1950's Hollywood knowledge of America.

      You will always be an outsider, Ben. You will never belong here.
      Heh, that picture merely confirms that the other 49 are jealous and butthurt. Why are they butthurt? Because Texas is *awesome*. It's like that Romo joke awhile back. Sure, Romo might not win, but look at what he has to come home to after the game.

        As a Giants fan, though, I sometimes get a kick out of this moment of Buddy's:




        Kevin Gilbride: 1st down: Run up the middle, 2nd down: run up the middle but make sure the RB dances at the line first, 3rd down: all WR's on go routes

          That's not the Romo joke. There's a lot of jokes about Antonio Ramiro Romo but that's not one of them.

          The joke about QB's with hot wives is on field success is inversely correlated with the physical appearance of their wives. Cue Tim Hasselbeck, Christian Ponder, Ryan Tannehill, and your boy Romo.

            I doubt it is religion and more about ego and not wanting to open a can of worms

              • Sanchez will never be thought of as the next Rich Gannon, not that that's such a high aspiration. He's a little better than Ryan Leaf.

                          • They got a break on the "tuck rule" play. I hate that one. Stafford was already bringing ball down and had no intention of throwing it.
