After yesterday's humiliating loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Jets coach Rex Ryan remained positive. Really positive: He told reporters today that Gang Green can beat the Giants on Christmas Eve, "I came here to win, to be looked at that way, to take over not just this city -- even though it's the city to take over -- but also this league... I haven't accomplished that yet. Saturday, I think, would go a long way to doing that. We have to win this game. We have to get in the playoffs, and the Giants have to do the same. It's going to be huge." more ›

Because football is a dignified sport where only the most erudite language is used on and off the field, Jet's coach Rex Ryan must forfeit $75,000 for telling a fan to "Shut the f*ck up" during last week's loss to the Patriots. The fan had called out "Rex, Belichick is better than you!" as Ryan was entering the locker room at halftime. It's not clear in the video, but we're pretty sure that right after the fan yelled that, they added, "At foot massages!" Or maybe it was, "At getting fined!" more ›

If you're a Jets fan, then you already know that there's no substance in the world that can make last night's miserable loss to the Denver Broncos fade into the recesses of the mind fast enough. When Mark Sanchez is the worst quarterback on the field—not Tim Tebow, the worst statistical quarterback in the league—something is seriously messed up. And now this six-year-old understands the pain of fandom. His mother describes the video: "My 6 year old son, after being told this morning that the Jets lost to the Broncos 17-13. He was devastated (and none too happy when he realized I was filming him). Poor kid. Jets upset my son." Maybe the Bills will lose every game. Our only question: do you think he tailgates out of his Tonka? more ›

So, it is a little late to order one of these before tonight's very important game, but that doesn't make it any less kicking. Some enterprising entrepreneur has gone and tweaked the inescapable sports icon, the foam finger, to honor our local team's toe-loving coach. Yes, people, the Victory Foot has arrived. more ›

After Sunday's debacle in Oakland, Jets fans have been wringing their hands over Gang Green's prospects. And Jets legend Joe Namath weighed in on ESPN Radio yesterday, questioning coach Rex Ryan's tactics, "I think these guys might be believing that they're better than they are. Rex has been the only coach that we know, in maybe the history of the game that I'm familiar with, that keeps continually telling his guys how good they are. And they have been pretty good - pretty good - but they haven't won a championship yet." more ›

After two straight trips to—and losses in—the AFC Championship Game, the Jets are back for more in their third year under Rex Ryan. Mark Sanchez has played irregularly in his regular-season starts but has shown more than a few flashes of brilliance in the playoffs. Is this the season the Jets finally get to the Super Bowl? more ›

So while Mike Tannenbaum was off signing Plaxico Burress and keeping Antonio Cromartie and Santonio Holmes, everybody's favorite fan of pretty feet and football alike, Jets coach Rex Ryan, went and got a tattoo. A really ugly tattoo on his right calf that has quickly been mocked up and down the internet. But what does it mean? more ›

Mark Sanchez seems to be having a fun time organizing training camps as the NFL lockout continues, so maybe he'd like to help a hungry city out by putting some pressure on In-n-Out to get its act together and come to New York? He already, with coach Rex Ryan's blessing, got the beloved left coast burger chain to set up a pop-up stand at his Jets West training camp last month! more ›

Noted motivational speaker and snack enthusiast Rex Ryan turned up on The Colbert Report last night to talk about his new memoir, "Play It Like You Mean It." You can watch the interview below, including this gem: "You ever look at a sunset and say, 'I'd like to see somebody tackle that'?" more ›

Last week, we joked that with the NFL in lockdown mode, we were surprised that Rex Ryan hadn't dropped a vanity CD with some makin' whoopee jams. And while he still hasn't done that, he has been keeping himself occupied with side projects: this Tuesday, Ryan is releasing a book, "Play Like You Mean It." It's a quixotic coming-of-age tale about a bookish whippersnapper at a university filled with phonies about football. But it does have oodles of that unique Ryan wit: "I really don't know Tom Brady, but who wouldn't hate him? Look at his life. Actually, look at his wife [supermodel Gisele Bundchen]. Every man in America hates Tom Brady, and he should be proud of that." more ›

The NFL is still in lockout mode, and there's no indication that it'll be ending anytime soon, but we are all very desperate for some football news. Shouldn't Rex Ryan have come out with his vanity CD of sweet jams for makin' whoopee by now? Finally yesterday, we got some "real" news: the NFL announced the 2011-2012 season schedule, or as one Times reporter put it, "the worst tease in the history of sports." more ›

If you thought a little NFL lockout was going to keep Rex Ryan from leading the Jets to TOTAL VICTORY, you've got another thing coming. Because Rex Ryan carries a big stick, hits it out of the park, and never says die...or something. The coach said at the NFL league meetings, “They talk about walk softly and carry a big stick. I love that. I agree with that 100 percent. But I guess I feel more like Babe Ruth. I’m going to walk softly, I’m going to carry that big stick and then I’m going to point and then I’m going to hit it over the fence." more ›

We've moved past the charred remains of the Jets' prematurely completed season (though we're still not over Boogergate), and have begun to look forward to next season. But there are a lot of question marks hanging over the team due to nearly half the squad facing free agency. And while the Jets need to decide whether to shell out big money for star receivers Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards, two controversy-friendly players with nightmare egos have throw their hats into the Jets ring for consideration. more ›

Yesterday, Mayor Bloomberg and Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl announced their wager on Sunday's AFC Championship game between the Jets and Steelers, while doubters threw some haterade on the Jets parade. But Bloomberg and Jets fans weren't the only ones rallying for the team—the President is rooting for the team. “I will say both the Jets and the Bears, I think, are slight underdogs, so we’re going to be rooting for the underdogs on Sunday,” Obama said yesterday while speaking to workers at the GE plant in Schenectady. more ›

Possessiveness is generally not an attractive quality in any relationship, but it's especially true when it comes to the Jets, whose zany antics, trash talking and underdog persona have captured the hearts of the entire Tri-State Area over the past two seasons. But Mayor Bloomberg and NJ Gov. Chris Christie got into a catfight yesterday over which state is the true home of the team—and this is one argument that can't be solved with a Mariah Carey song. more ›
