Amid Rex Ryan's constant effluvium of vulgarity, "We're gonna win this f*cking league," should earn him a fine from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. In a quick semantic analysis, we have to admit that for many the word "f*cking" has replaced "goddamned" as a way to curse something or someone in a general way. As we've matured and evolved as a society, "Goddamn you" has become "F*ck you" and so forth. Therefore, Rex has basically said that his Jets are going to win this "goddamned league" or this cursed league.
Without delving into how many kids have expanded their street vocabularies watching Hard Knocks on their DVR or HBO On Demand (they do that, parents) let us think what "f*cking league" he's talking about. Is this the same league that makes it possible for him to make 7 figures coaching football? Indeed it is. Rex can say whatever he wants to his players, about his players, to his coaches, about his coaches, about ownership, the fans. But there should be a pause button before sprinkling that extra f-bomb in front of his benefactor.
While it's no surprise that Tom Brady hates the Jets (would you ever want your player saying he liked another team?) his refusal to watch their show has stoked the flames of rivalry to beyond Mangini-Belichick Cold-War heat.
New England visits the Jets in their new home Week 2, in a game that's currently scheduled for Sunday at 4:15pm but should be played Monday Night (instead of Saints/Niners). But will the Pats visit an 0-1 team that has already lost its new-home opener in their quest to "lead the league in wins?" Jets fans should hope Joe Flacco, Ray Rice, Anquan Boldin and Ray Lewis are taking the Tom Brady approach to their Wednesday night viewing.
i f%#@ing love rex ryan.
