20921 <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>"I never came here to kiss Bill Belichick's rings." &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>That's what <strong>Rex Ryan </strong>said earlier this summer about the <strong>Jets/Pats </strong>rivalry. This week, Ryan made news with his voice mail to season ticket holders asking for their support for Sunday's game. Is it corny? Yes. Will it make a difference in the game? Absolutely not. Is Ryan entertaining and refreshing? Ummm...Yeah!?!? Ryan's personality is a departure not just from Belichick, but most every coach in the NFL. It's a change that is a welcome change. Have you listened to an Eric Mangini news conference?? Dick Jauron?? Ryan's enthusiasm has spread to at least one player. Check out <strong>Kerry Rhodes' </strong>comments and Ryan's response to them.</p> <div class="quotesnippet"><span class="large"><a href="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/09/17/rex-ryan-addresses-rhodes-comments/">http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/09/17/rex-ryan-addresses-rhodes-comments/</a></span></div> <hr /> <p><span>What's Eating Gilbert?</span></p> <p><strong>Washington Wizard Gilbert Arenas </strong>has had three surgeries on his knee since the end of the 2007 season. Luckily for him, he has a 100 million dollar contract to fall back on. He says he's finally healthy...and it's the Wizards fault that he's been so delicate.</p> <p><a href="http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/sep/16/arenas-to-return-for-wizards-camp/?feat=home_themes_tab3_featured">http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/sep/16/arenas-to-return-for-wizards-camp/?feat=home_themes_tab3_featured</a></p> true 2009-09-18T02:29:51Z 94572 1 2009-09-18T14:01:04Z
