eball Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Rex can come out and say "Great weather today" and you would shred it apart and make some conspiracy of how its now gonna derail our next game. Its unbelievable around here. Doesn't Rex know saying something like this is a direct taunt at Mother Nature, who will undoubtedly unleash a terrible thunderstorm immediately thereafter? Just say "there is weather today" and be done with it. Dammit Rex!

Hahahaha, OMG spot on with what would be said around here in that situation...you hit the absurd 100%...literally started cracking up...its so funny because its so true.
jimmy10 Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 What are you guys even talking about, your comment and others are so ridiculous. He HAD to be there for HIS OWN press conference. He didn't take time out of prepping for a game to go prank Edelman, he got their for his interview as they were ending Edelmans and made a quick joke. He stumbled on this and had a quick second of fun with it, there was no prepping for this...there was no lost time prepping for NE for this. Geezus, hate him all you want, but come back to realm of reality already instead of fabricating false truths to somehow manufacture more hate for him. Rex can come out and say "Great weather today" and you would shred it apart and make some conspiracy of how its now gonna derail our next game. Its unbelievable around here. Not only this, but Rex knows every second the spotlight is on him, that's one less second it's on his players. He's been doing this since the earliest days of Sanchito in New Jersey, and yet so many seem to have an aching yearn to portray Rex as nothing more than an incompetent doofus.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 For a team that's 1 - 2, to take time away from preparing for the next game, which is a pretty important game at that, yes this is quite a hot take. Do you know how ridiculous this is? Rex was just entering the media room at OBD for his Wednesday Media Day Presser and just before he took the podium he jumped on the call with Edelman to ask his prank question. @AroundTheNFL Rex Ryan knows how to have fun when it comes to playing the Patriots http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000711358/article/rex-goes-undercover-during-edelman-conference-call Lighthearted fun.

Let me draw a parallel, and then I'm done. I'm Joe Blow working on a project that is weeks behind and coming in late, or maybe I'm on a sales team that is missing its quarterly target. I choose that time to do some kind of prank at work that makes everybody laugh. But boss looks at it and says, hmmm. I got a guy with a project behind schedule (or missing his sales targets), yet he has time to pull pranks at work. It just doesn't look right. Now if I get my project done on time, or I meet or exceed my sales targets (or Ryan wins), in the end nobody cares. But sumbitch better win... Edited September 28, 2016 by Freddie's Dead
YoloinOhio Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Do any other coaches do stuff like this? Rob, probably. i don't know but John Harbaugh opened up a recent press conference addressing his brother's "Booger-gate" with the media. Edited September 28, 2016 by YoloinOhio

Is Joe Blow part of an elite group of salesmen where only 31 other people the world have the same job? Is he given a massive amount of leeway to run his team and the day-to-day operations as he sees fit? And you think the big boss is going to look at the equivalent of dropping a lighthearted, funny one-liner about a leading competitor in the large conference room (while demonstrating an adept knowledge of the company's history) before an all-staff meeting as a prank that doesn't look right?

He wasn't behind on a project...he wasn't taking time from said project. What part of the concept of him HAVING TO BE IN THE ROOM FOR HIS OWN PRESS CONFERENCE escapes you? He was there already...he cracked a joke that was fun and light hearted because he isn't dead inside like some posters on this board, get over it. And I own multiple companies, and as a boss I can tell you I would not have any problem of any employee doing anything like what Rex did today under all the factual circumstances surrounding it.

There are few good parallels in the business world, the NFL is in the entertainment business. Besides, Rex and all coaches are mandated to have this session with the media - it's the media's time as dictated by the league , not Rex's time. Nothing wrong with a little levity in an otherwise mundane part of the job that all coaches must do. Rex can't choose to be doing something else with that time because the league says he cannot. I doubt preparations for the Pats game are behind schedule. Nobody should care beyond getting a chuckle out of it regardless of if the Bills win or lose. It's the Pats, so they will probably lose. Will that joke have anything to do with it? No.
Alphadawg7 Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 I can't wait for the team to actual win consistently and for the shills to actually be right for once. Law of averages say it will happen eventually so there is hope.... No I actual expect it to be a close game with the Patriots winning as that is how the games against the Patriots usually go with Rex. The Bills Fixed Terrible example.

RyanC883 Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 not a huge Rex fan, but that was funny right there. Seems like a great guy, I want him (well, the Bills) to Win. Hopefully we will get another W Sunday and start a winning streak.

Talley56 Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Yeah, I don't have a problem with this. Just a little bit of innocent fun.

YoloinOhio Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Maybe I missed it but didn't anyone bring up yet how he did this same thing to Sammy Watkins his rookie season?
The Poojer Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Completely different...that was funny because he wasn't our coach...common man, get with the program Maybe I missed it but didn't anyone bring up yet how he did this same thing to Sammy Watkins his rookie season?
BringBackOrton Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Maybe I missed it but didn't anyone bring up yet how he did this same thing to Sammy Watkins his rookie season? Was that the game that he forgot to put a CB on Sammy and he caught 3 balls for 157 yards?

Just in Atlanta Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Glad to see most fans here don't have their little panties in a bunch. That was funny, and harmless. The level of of Rex hate has been obnoxious. Sports should be fun.
