FluffHead Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 @mikerodak: Dennis Thurman, Tim McDonald, Bobby April III, Tony Sparano, Jr. MT @hsjrphoto: Rex Ryan watches Sabres from a suite. http://t.co/5uPqkr6Syc @mikerodak: So that excellent photo from @hsjrphoto all but confirms that Rex is bringing several of his Jets assistant coaches to Buffalo.
eball Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Sabres gear no Leafs. Ha. Yup. I think your PC prediction will come true.
RalphOP83 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I was at the Big Tree while Rex and crew were there... I grew up tending bar there ... My brother is the manager and I live down the road... Rex hung in the corner with His wife and Jim Kelly ... Amongst others (Russ and crew). It was a really low key scene...nobody bothered him... It was bills staffers and big tree regulars... I didn't interact with him but my brother said he was a great guy and my brother isn't star struck nor the type to sugar coat things.

You'd assume so without the photo, but I think it's an underrated tweet as far as content goes. Clearly seeing the makeup of the coaching staff

Only one (obvious) question, why was Russ meddling in the beers!?
Deranged Rhino Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 That's awesome! Only one (obvious) question, why was Russ meddling in the beers!? How do you think he keeps his job? Roofies are a powerful drug.
Vinny4sum Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 That's awesome! Only one (obvious) question, why was Russ meddling in the beers!? Somebody had to pay the bill...
RalphOP83 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Russ seemed beat.. Said he hadn't been home since just after Christmas ... He seemed to be having a few stress relievers if u know what I mean... He was in a suit but it looked like he'd been through war... Russ looked to be relieved and enjoying his beers.. He was the only one in a suit... Jim and Rex seemed to be more cut from the same cloth
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 haha I could see Rex at Old First Ward on St. Patrick's Day... wrong Ryan but I get the idea
Kirby Jackson Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) wrong Ryan but I get the ideaYou missed the part earlier when I was saying how Rob Ryan fit right in as a New Orleanian. Edited January 14, 2015 by Kirby Jackson

A cold beer at The Big Tree never hurt anyone. http://t.co/oI6H4MeefJ Wonder if Broadway Joe ever met Rex wherever Jets fans hang out and had a beer with him?
Iraq Vet Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Expectations for the PC are way too high!!! We are all going to be disappointed. Relax people! Rex is going to give typical coach speak for the 1st PC. He is getting the lay of the land 1st. In 3 months Rex will be Rex. Slow down!
Kelly the Dog Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Expectations for the PC are way too high!!! We are all going to be disappointed. Relax people!

You mean the exact opposite of wat he's done before and his personality?
BRH Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I'm reading this thread and thinking about the folks here who said Rex was the wrong hire because he's not a "Buffalo Guy." Russ seemed beat.. Said he hadn't been home since just after Christmas ... He seemed to be having a few stress relievers if u know what I mean... He was in a suit but it looked like he'd been through war... Russ looked to be relieved and enjoying his beers.. He was the only one in a suit... Jim and Rex seemed to be more cut from the same cloth I hope Russ washed the smell of the Shanahans off his suit before going out.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Personally, it's a shame Rex had to be exposed to Sabres game while they are tanking. Just sets a bad mood. On top of the game, apparently, the Sabres screwed up the Hasek tribute too. Hate having Rex see all that. Makes Pegula look bad. Edited January 14, 2015 by PromoTheRobot

eball Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 what happened with the tribute? Nothing...it was fine. Some folks tweeted it felt a little "stilted" but I didn't see any egregious errors. Hasek made the biggest mistake himself -- he should have concluded his speech with "and it was no goal" and the place would have gone bonkers.
