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.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
