CodeMonkey Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Why do the media !@#$s always bring up job security in situations like that? Is it simply to try and get the coach pissed off?
Wayne Cubed Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Why even bring it up, the rumour wasn't true so what was the point exactly?
quinnearlysghost88 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) what does he keep saying he didn't know about? Edited December 14, 2016 by quinnearlysghost88
DPR4444 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Can someone summarize the exchanges? Streaming media is blocked here at the office. thanks!
zow2 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I've always felt that the Buffalo media goes out of their way to incite controversy and act like idiots because Buffalo is always dismissed by National media as being a "soft" town for media scrutiny. In the age of Twitter, the Buffalo media has gotten especially snarky and full of themselves.
Fan in Chicago Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 what does he keep saying he didn't know about? The defense? How to coach?

YoloinOhio Posted December 14, 2016 Author Posted December 14, 2016 what does he keep saying he didn't know about? The media feels they caught him lying Joe Buscaglia Verified account @JoeBuscaglia 2h2 hours ago To catch you up to speed, Rex insinuated that he had learned about the reports of his firing ahead of the Sunday press conference (1/2) Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia 2h2 hours ago But on Sunday, seemed as though that was the first time he had heard of it. There was probing to try and figure out when he found out (2/2)
Hot Buffalo Wings Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Buffalo media is a joke. Does EJ still see the writing on the wall?
Captain_Quint Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Why do the media !@#$s always bring up job security in situations like that? Is it simply to try and get the coach pissed off? Clicks. Its all anyone in the media is worried about anymore. They dont care about substance or truth, its only if they can get people to open up their stories or not.
Hot Buffalo Wings Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Except for Sal. He knows what he's doing.
DrDawkinstein Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 @salsports It was quite the Rex Ryan press conference today, with some interesting exchanges, including media vs media in beginning here: https://twitter.com/danfetes/status/809087120015052801 @nick_wojton WATCH: Here's the full exchange Rex had with the media about his job security a short time ago #Bills #BillsMafia https://twitter.com/nick_wojton/status/809094214357319681 4 minutes of the media saying "So you didnt know anything about it between the field and press conference?!?" One joke talking to another joke. Welcome to Buffalo.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Yea, Buffalo media is a cake walk compared to larger cities. i'm always reminded of that end of the year presser with Ted Black and Darcy Regier. They don't have the chops to really hold their feet to the fire, so it turns into WHEN CAN WE TALK TO TERRY PEGULA ABOUT THIS!!!!
Gugny Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 So there's three weeks left in a season that would require multiple miracles in order for the Bills to finish with a winning record, let alone get into the playoffs. Everyone in North America with a pulse knows Rex Ryan's on the hot seat and very likely to lose his job. And people have a problem with the media asking about job security??
Fadingpain Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Not a lot going on here. A reporter whose voice I couldn't identify was trying to "catch" Rex in a "lie" because Rex insinuated that he heard about the rumor of his Monday firing some time prior to the post-game PC. (Keeping in mind that at the post-game PC Rex said it was the first time he had heard of such news). This reporter kept harping and harping trying to catch up Rex on what is a meaningless point and frankly, the whole thing was misguided and amateurish. (The voice sounded young but I have no idea who it was or if he was young). At a certain point another voice from within the media shouted "What difference does it make!" addressing the first reporter. Rex somewhat amazingly put on a good face and went around and around fairly pleasantly dealing with the entire situation, basically repeating that he promises everyone he did not know about this rumor.

Zulu Cthulhu Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 It's one guy attempting to nitpick about an irrelevant point and other members of the media there clearly got exasperated. And they're right, makes no difference.

Everyone in North America with a pulse knows Rex Ryan's on the hot seat and very likely to lose his job. And people have a problem with the media asking about job security?? That really isn't what this little spat was about though. This does highlight why it's a great idea to fire the guy if that is the plan. 3 weeks of a circus show with Rex serving as lame duck HC isn't really doing the organization a lot of good. I'd still love to know who leaked the rumor, assuming it was leaked and there was some kernel of truth to what La Confora reported... I have to assume it came from a competing faction within the organization who wants to see Rex gone.
YoloinOhio Posted December 14, 2016 Author Posted December 14, 2016 I am surprised he even continued to engage them, tbh
