Quote of the Day

I really couldn’t be happier with having Rex Ryan has the head coach of my beloved New York Jets. The latest gem from the loquacious Ryan spoke out yesterday about veteran Jets DE Shaun Ellis signing with the Patriots:

“”The fact that he chose them … there’s no way I’m going to wish him well. There’s no chance of that. I wish him to be healthy, but I don’t want him to play that well.”

*Disclaimer: I completely agree with what Ryan said. I’m sick and tired of all the bullshit coaches and player feed the media after a veteran player leaves a team: “We’ll miss him…you can’t replace a veteran presence like that…he was such a locker room guy, what a tough loss.” Fuck that. If you play on one team for 11 seasons and then sign with that team’s archrival merely because of a few dollars and cents, then yeah, as Rex said in so many words, “Fuck you!” I have no respect for the decision Shaun Ellis made and I certainly hope he doesn’t succeed in New England. I am a Jets fan through and through and that’s how I was taught to think as a Jets fan. And as a little note to Patriots fans, I wouldn’t see a lot of promise in a 34 year-old defensive end who hasn’t registered more than 10 sacks since 2004. But then again, that’s why they play the games.

When C-LO and I first started Bleacher Creatures, QOTD was one of our favorite daily posts. And to this day, we’ve only put up one on the new site.

And um, if you guys see it on ESPN, don’t try to kill me, you know he hit his quarterback. I mean, we have a great relationship but sometimes, you know, you fight."
