Sports - Rex Ryan Once Again Guarantees Jets Super Bowl Victory

At the NFL Combines yesterday, Rex Ryan did what he always does: guarantee a Super Bowl XLVI victory. "I guarantee we’ll win it this year,” Ryan said.

"I don't care what people think. I care what our organization believes and what our fans believe," Ryan said. "We've gotten better. I know we got to the same place last year. It might not appear that we got better. But I thought we got a lot better last year. I think if we can improve a little bit more, why not us?"

He added: "Why wouldn't I be positive? I'm always going to say the same thing. I believe we can be champs. Why wouldn't I believe it? Somebody tell me why I shouldn't believe that we deserve to be a champion?"

Super Bowl XLV has only been in the books for a couple weeks, so I don't want to open a debate as to whether the Jets are actually going to win the Lombardi Trophy next year. But I am wondering at what point a head coach does a disservice to his team by so openly guaranteeing a championship victory. Does it put too much pressure on a team, especially when the guarantees start before the Draft even takes place? Or is it just the right motivating factor for a team that came up short of the same guarantee last year? Many of you guys played sports in high school or college — how did your coaches motivate you before a season began? Sound Off with your thoughts in the Comments.

Sports : Football - Meet Eliza Kruger, the 17-Year Old Greenwich High School Student Who Hooked Up with Mark Sanchez

Cat's out of the bag about the 17-year-old Greenwich High School student who allegedly told Deadspin she "hooked up" with Mark Sanchez. Here's today's report from the New York Post, who revealed Eliza Kruger's identity and details about her family's wealth. It's not really news at this point since her name already been posted on quite a few blogs. Our question for the day, though, is this: If you were a single, high-profile NFL quarterback, would you hook up with a 17-year-old girl if it was legal in your state?

Video : Female Jets fans show off their feet for Rex

At first, Rex Ryan’s foot fetish seemed like an overly personal subject. One that the organization and Ryan himself didn’t want to comment on.

Then, it became a source of humor for other teams, particularly the New England Patriots who took pot shots at the fetish in a press conference last week.

Now it appears people are embracing it, including Jets fans. Here’s a couple of ladies showing off their lovely feet for the head coach. What say you Rex? Do these ladies have what it takes to make a fetish video? Or is this one of those situations where your wife might get jealous?

Video : The Rex Ryan press conference was uncomfortable

New York Jets coach Rex Ryan was asked about the foot fetish videos that leaked on the web the other day. The New York media constantly peppered him with the same question over and over and he continually responded that it was a “personal matter”.

It was ugly, and it was embarrassing and frankly, I felt pretty bad for the guy.

Watch for yourselves.

Shaun Ellis sued by Seahawks fan for throwing snowball

Two years ago, New York Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis threw a snowball at Seahawks fans who were heckling players as they left the field. Now, one fan wants to be compensated from the physical and emotional distress he received because of it.

According to the lawsuit, Ellis was bitter about the defeat … and as he walked off the field, he “stopped, picked up a large block or chunk or packed snow … and threw it into the crowd” … striking a man named Robert Larsen.

In the suit, Larsen — a Seahawks season ticket holder — claims he had been waving a pro-Seahawks sign … which made him a perfect snowball target.

I’m not a lawyer, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night but I’m not sure what kind of physical injury Larsen sustained when, only moments after being struck with the snow, he lifted it in the air drawing cheers from the crowd.

At best, this is a sorry attempt at a cash
