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.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
