Rex Ryan: I'm not intimidated by Belichick

Rexy, baby, just ... shut the "F" up!

Glad to see that there is still a jacka$$ coaching the Jets this year. Some people just don't get it. Keep it up Rexxy.

This season could quickly turn into a disaster for Rex Ryan.

The Jets open 2009 on the road against the Texans. Lets consider the pressure his comments will have if they lose in week 1.

The Patriots come to town in week 2, and I think the Pats are odds on favorite to win this game. If they get blown out, they are looking at playing an extremely tough Titans team in week 3. A week in which the new york media could be hammering Ryan for all week about his stupid arrogant comments about Belichick. Id love to see how he would handle an 0-3 start in the wake of a NE blowout

He should just keep his mouth shut!

Rex Ryan's serious case of the "look at me's" will eventually be his down fall in NY. The acorn does not fall far from the tree.

Rex Ryan: I'm not intimidated by Belichick

You should be Rex. You should be. If you're lucky, maybe, just maybe Bill will let you kiss his rings.

I think Ryan's on to something. The Pats do usually get their butts kicked when they play the disrespect card

Remember how bad the Steelers smoked them after they harped on Anthony Smith's guarantee?!?!

What an annoying fat &%$$

whoo!

Ryan says: "You don't line up and beat a Bill Belichick-coached team by tiptoeing in there."
Hey Rex, yeah you do! Do your homework and you will find that every loud-mouthed team that has played the Patriots in the past 7-8 years has had their foot shoved forcefully into their mouth. While the quiet ones who say the right things are the only ones who walk away with a W.
This bozo is going to crash and burn, and I'm gonna love every minute of it.

Why does he feel the need to bring so much attention on himself? Why does he need to let Belichick know that he's not intimidated by him? It's obviously on his mind and Bill Belichick has gotten into this guy's head without even trying. If he feels a need to comment on it and bring attention to it, then maybe he is already intimidated.

See you in a few weeks, Rexy.

Who cares about the Jets? 4th team in the division. If Ryan survives the winter, maybe his ramblings will be newsworthy.

It's not BB that should be scareing the over bloated beached whale! It's the Patriots team itself that should have the Beluga whale worried.....

Rex, you're right it won't be motivation to play you it will be otivation to embarrass you.
What a goof, see you soon Rex.

The second thing they teach you after " This is a football" is to do it on the grass, thats where the talking should happen, between the lines , hey coach Shut up and look smart , remember its better to be quiet and be thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Me thinks he doth protest too much.

I am wondering if it's to early to call the Patriots first offensive play against the jets ? looks to me like a jets sideline route with Wilfork at TE should be the first option.

Ugh Dan, the Steelers game (where they beat the pats) you're referring to was like over a year after the game where the Steelers player guaranteed victory.

So, ugh, yeah, why don't you do something else to amuse yourself while the real, knowledgeable sports fans talk, okay?

I've got to believe Dan is employing sarcasm there, or he just mashed two different seasons into one.

Just like his old man, his act won't cut it once he starts losing, especailly in NY...and he will lose

If I want to smash this guy in the mouth, god forbid what the Pats players are going to want to do to him and his team come gametime.

Rex Ryan has given me an even bigger desire to annihilate the Jets. I hope the team feels the same.

Jay

Dan, I hope you're being sarcastic...when that dbag smith made the guarantee, and Brady was quarterback, we smoked the Steelers a$$, just like we usually do in the playoffs...pburgh can thank pollard for their SB last year, cuz they aren't beating this team with a healthy Brady.

Why is this Ryan guy talking like this anyway? If he's trying to come across as a dbag then he's succeeding. It's one thing to want to motivate your players, but he's just making a butt out of himself. The media is eating this stuff up though, they love it.

Rex Ryan = Elmer Fudd

Ah bdee Ah bdee Abdee…That’s all folks!

do the talking on the field, fat ass

Better to keep your mouth shut and have some people think you're stupid, than open it and remove all doubt.

"He (Belichick) just happens to have a helluva lot of Super Bowl rings and I don't have a win."

Any wonder why?

Im a pats fan and i think it will add to the rivalry, no harm in my opinion.

Looks like a loud-mouthed blowhard. The perfect guy to coach any NY team.

Ryan hasn't even started one regular season game as head coach and I'm sick of him already. Dude, STFU. No one wants to hear or read about your "swagger" anymore.

The harm is only to himself if he fails to back up his tough guy talk. I'm sure he's a decent coach, but is Sanchez of sufficient caliber to deliver victory and not simply toss it away? Time will tell.

28-0 Pats at halftime in the first game.

if he say's it enough......he might start to beleive it.......duds afraid.....just like any fight, the loudest person,always gets there ( butt ) handed to them!.....he will also cry later that the pats ran the score up on him.....lol

I'll make one guarantee for this season: the J-E-T-S annual crash and burn will be especially spectacular.

(and LOL: Wilfork on a "go to you hit the loud-mouth on the Jets sidelines" pass pattern to start the game!)

Week 2:
Pats: 56
Jets: 10

Ryan will run his mouth again before second game and then lose 56-3.

Way to back track then insert foot into mouth. He loves football, thats good, and I love to hear him talk, thats good for the Patriots. It's all good natured fun! What did you say? He's a Head Coach? Howdy do dat? (in a Red Fox voice) I thought he was a big mouthed dummy of a ball boy or something. Dummy up dummy. You gorilla victim, pie eating, trash talking dummy. Now I am really laughing out loud! I still have respect for what he and Ray Ray did in Baltimore. It's just the he sounds like such a DUMMY!

It might be just me; after all the 'football speak' where no one even says anything of substance, I find it kind of refreshing and pretty damn funny. Unless Footballasaurus Rex lumbers out to the 50 yard line to take a few snaps, it won't change anything. This has to be best off season for HC's: one breaks his assistants jaw, Singletary makes his players cry, and F Rex shoots his mouth out about every week. This is going to be an amusing season for sure.

guess fans of every other team should make other plans for the 2009 season-patriots may just be the best team ever-lol-david tyree and eli manning say hello!

I don't see what the big deal is. He said he's not intimidated by Belichick. Good. He's a head coach in this league. He's not supposed to be intimidated by other head coaches.

And his last line was about the ridiculous idea that players try hard only when someone insults their mothers, or whatever. This isn't the WWF. It's the NFL. The Patriots players are professionals. They're motivated enough by wanting to win championships. Ryan was saying they DON'T need his words to motivate them.

#23 MP.....The Steelers won the SuperBowl last season because of that GREAT DEFENSE and a clutch QB. Who is Pollard.?????
The guarantee that Anythony Smith made was becos some media person asked him a question and he aswered it. ....Brady torched him....Anthony Smith is no longer a Steeler.....get ur facts straight.............

I think Belichick should bring his rings to the game and rather than a post game handshake hold out the rings to be kissed.

Steelers Fan....sober up and/or learn to spell.

FYI, Pollard is the guy who sent Brady to IR in Week 1. Costing NE, say, 1 win over the 2008 season. A win that would have put them in the playoffs.

Where the Steelers might have had to play them. Are you following? The Steelers haven't won a playoff game against NE since 1994.

It was a point worth making.

I'm with 39... What's the big deal? It's a coach who isn't intimidated. Should he say, "Well, we don't really have a chance in Week 2, so we'll be looking forward to Week 3" ? Of course not. It doesn't matter what the coaches say or do (publically at least), all that matters is the gameplan and how well the gameplan is executed by the players on every Sunday.

If there's a blowout in week 2, call me naive, but I will not attribute it to whatever Ryan has said. It'll be because the Pats are just a much better football team than the average Jets.

Lastly, I agree with 37... this is just entertainment. People should be welcoming this abnormal behavior from unproven coaches on subpar teams. It just makes it all more entertaining. Pats fans need to stop thinking other coaches/teams/fans need to be terrified of the Patriots. It's the NFL. Every team, even the Bungles and the Lions should go into every Sunday thinking they are gonna win the game. If they don't, then either the player needs to be cut or the head coach needs to be fired.

This is the second time this offseason that rookie Rex R., who has coined the term "swaggerlicious" and has hopefully trademarked the term in case it, and he, gets famous, has made a conscious effort to specifically try to insult the Patriots. When you have to strain your insults out, it's kind of meaningless.

Let's take this as a recognition that the Patriots are respected in the NFL, as respect goes. The Dolphins got theirs from Rex at other times. However, Buffalo commands no respect whatsoever.

When Rex Ryan's dad, Buddy Ryan, was coaching the Eagles, he was constantly popping off in the press. Sometimes it was funny, but usually it was just Buddy making promises that his teams couldn't back up. Eventually it got old, and Buddy ended up blaming everyone but himself when his teams came up short.

Rex looks like he's ready to follow in his father's footsteps.

shut up fatso

Hey Big Mouth, you are coaching the laughingstock of the NFL, perennial underachievers. Win a couple of games before you start flapping your gums. What a clown, just like his father. It doesn't matter who coaches that team, they never live up to the New York hype.

Yawn...didn't this bloated corpse spew out this boring rhetoric a few months ago? Maybe Rexy should be more concerned with the number of Jets already suspended for multiple games this season.

SettleDown.....I am sure you have many names on here..stick to one
Last Year is over, get over it....Both the Steelers and Pats have improved.

To Mr. Ryan: You have your emotions all mixed up. Indeed you need not feel intimated by Bill Belichick, I am sure he would not want you to be, if he graced you with a thought, which is not likely. You do however, need to show earned respect, and making statements in the way you have, sets a horrible precedent for your team, your players, and the game. These type of rants did not exist in the old days of football, like everything else it is a new form of disrespectful communication that has no place in the game, or society, but in seems to flourish none the less. I assure you that you will learn the err of your words at least 2 times this year.

I think I recognize old Rex. We had this really fat, loud mouthed kid in our old neighborhood who kept mouthing off to everybody how great he was and all that he could do, and yet he could really do nothing when the time came, except mouth off. My dad told me that people like that don't have self-confidence and need to say those things to have a better self-image, because the one in the mirror made him feel inferior. I am sure that Belichick will shake Rex's fat, sweaty palm after he teaches Mr Rex that there is more to being a head coach than just talking and eating (ask Charlie Weiss) just to give him that quick little Belichick smirk.

and the J-E-T-S jets, jets, jets wonder why they can't win a damn SB in this lifetime. Good hire here Tannenballs. Looks like he's a keeper. Is he about to eat another reporter in that picture or what? He makes Andy Reid look svelte.

Highlights of the most entertaining 46 sports comments of all time:
Rookie Footballasaurus Rex lumbers out to the 50. The loud-mouthed blowhard, over bloated beached whale, bozo, jacka$$, gorilla victim, pie eating, trash talking dummy is told: "shut up fatso"! He responds: Ah bdee Ah bdee Abdee, swaggerlishous…That’s all folks!
Awesome guys!

Why be upset over these comments? They are really a lot of nothing...nbd.

Stupid is as Stupid does. Not that I needed another reason to hate the Jets or anything.

BLAH BLAH BLAH......You don't have to worry about belicheck because the JETS always stink.
LOL
Jets ownership will do them in.

Bill must be chuckling when he hears this JACKASS. He is already toying with this blowhard and they haven't even played a game yet!

TYPICAL: his comment AGAIN is blown WAY out of proportion!! Are you people freaking RETARDED???? Seriously. All he's saying is that they're not going to be intimidated by Beli-cheater. AND, he is absolutely right about one thing: if the Patriots need to read quotes from other coaches to get motivated, then THEY'RE the ones with the problem, not Ryan. Seriously, you dopes: GROW UP.

HUGE Pats fan...but what's the big deal with Rex saying that stuff? They asked him a question and he told it like it is, and how he sees it. Good for him. He SHOULD feel that way. He's a professional coach. Pipe down everyone.

I don't see anything wrong with what he sad. He's confident in his team as he should be. That being said, the Pats will destroy them.

To all those who says "what's the big deal" etc:

First of all, why start a comment about a team you are NOT COACHING or have anything to do with? If a reporter or the media asks you about another team, why not say, "I am the coach of the Jets, I worry about my own team." End of story.

Get it now???

This coach is way too loud and wants the media to make sure they print his every word. You know what they say about people that are loud or brag, they usually either have such a high ego and can't see reality (my guess for this guy) or are overcompensating for something (maybe lack of motivation). Either way, let's see the Jets bring it this year because the Pats will still plow over them. Keep trying Jets. Now you have two loud mouths in high positions and one is your coach. Ryan may compare himself to Belichick because they share the same job, but Belichick does all his talking in his coaching up of Super Bowl winners and contenders on a yearly basis. Keep talking Ryan, we'll see if your team can back it up. Go Pats!

Rex Ryan is the quintessential schoolyard bully who's trying to show his toughness by intimidating the class brainiac, Note to Rex...give it up, dude, you're only adding fuel to the fire, In Bill We Trust.

WOW!

37 posts before I got to one saying the truth!

Folks, so WHAT if Coach Ryan isn't going to kiss Coach Bill's rings?? He's loud and he's proud! Why the hell shouldn't he be???

Ryan IS a breath of fresh air, and I look forward to combat with him and the Jets!

#19? Put down the Crack Pipe, my friend.

Dan WAS being sarcastic in post #7, and it couldn't've been more obvious: Don't you remember how we ~ literally ~ pointed and laughed at Smith ~ on the field!! ~ after repeatedly SMOKING him, in that game in 2007???

Wow, Rex Ryan hasn't even coached the Jets against Belichick yet; and it's all he can talk about. I'd respect him more if he gave the old Bill Parcells response ("That's a dumba** question") when someone asks him about that quote. Just coach your team Rex; and let the chips fall where they may. Of course, with a resurgent Miami team and T.O. in Buffalo, it looks like last place, in the east for the Jets this year.

The last time the J-E-T-S Jets won the Super Bowl everyone had black-and-white TVs, Nixon was President, and Woodstock hadn't even happened yet. Nothing this Ryan pantload says makes me think this drought is gonna end anytime soon.

The Jets have always been posers, talking big to the mutts in the press and then getting smoked when the chips are down.

Even God Himself, Bill Parcells, couldn't get the sad-sack Jets past the Carolina Panthers in the AFC Champ game a few years back. Then even he bailed.

Ryan running his mouth? Just carrying on the great Jets Loser Legacy.

Ryan is right! Games are won and lost on the playing field, and if ANY team in any sport needs to rely on what an opposing player or coach says prior to a game to "motivate" them then there is something wrong with their coaching philosophy. I give you the ne patriots (all lower case)

#67 - OFGS, what a dodo! The Patriots haven't said a thing. If anyone provoked (do you know what that word means?) Ryan it was the press, not the Patriots. A little humility could go a long way. Has worked in NE. May want to try it.

he's not afraid of Bill B, and shouldn't be. After all it's not like Bill's going to shoot him. He should be afraid that our team is going to kick his teams a$$ twice this year.

If I were Bill B, i'd be afraid Rex Ryan will sit on me after a game!!!!

#66 What have you been smoking??? Maybe YOU didn't have a color TV in 1969 I sure did. I remember watching the NY Jets win the super bowl in living color. Oh, by the way, last time I looked, the Carolina Panthers play in the NFC not the AFC. Time to wake up my friend.

TYPICAL: his comment AGAIN is blown WAY out of proportion!! Are you people freaking RETARDED????

Hows the weather in NY. Glad we could get to you! Anger Management is only a phone call away. Lighten up, it's all in fun. If we were serious we would all write what #62 wrote. Calm and logical. Where would be the fun in that? I guess Brett didn't think much of the J-E-T-S either. Fooled you and left. Anyway, Rex got what he wanted. We are all talking about it. Keep it going, this has got to be some sort of record. Anyone got that stat?
Signed, The Bunch of Dopes, (the ones with all the Super Bowl rings).

What an idiot. He looks like Butterbean...this is going to be a disaster.
