Rex Ryan was provoked before flipping the bird

Appearing on WFAN radio Thursday, FOX Sports' Jay Glazer provided an account of the events that led up to Jets coach Rex Ryan flipping his middle finger at a camera during a mixed martial arts event last week.

The gesture cost Ryan $50,000.

Glazer reports that Ryan was spit on three times by a drunken Dolphins fan, who also made light of Ryan's weight and wished death upon the first-year head coach.

"I've never seen a fan go so far over the line," Glazer said, adding that Ryan showed "great restraint" considering the circumstances. "He said to Rex, 'I hope you die You fat piece of crap.' He spit at him."

Glazer said he has spoken to the NFL on Ryan's behalf, though we'd venture to guess Commissioner Roger Goodell won't repeal the fine.

Of course he was provoked. Do most people go around flipping off others unprovoked. The issue is that being a public figure on camera, did he figure that if he acted that way there wouldn't be repercussions? I figure he did what he wanted to do and paid the price. No biggy.

Was Ryan expecting a warm reception in Miami? LOL

Doesn't excuse someone spitting on him, I think he showed allot of restraint in just flipping the guy the bird... you spit on me and I'd make you swallow your teeth.

Hard to say what Ryan would do. As big and fat as he is, He might be all talk and no action unless he sat on you.:D

Little off topic but Rex Ryan was at the Carolina Hurricanes game tonight wearing a Flyers jersey. Someone in the staff must have recognized it was him because at an intermission the storm squad girls brought him a Carolina jersey which he put on and everyone in the crowd cheered, no middle fingers tonight.

    • Been here a while but rarely post and most of them are smartazz. Mostly lurk just so I can sound informed while hanging out drinking beer in my neighbors garage. Amusingly a Huddle level of knowledge kind of makes you a subject matter expert. Thanks for that.
    • That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.
    • In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
