First off, a moment of silence for the coaching career of one Rex Ryan…
Thank you. Good night, sweet prince. And good luck on your next endeavor, hopefully on television for all of our sakes. No fear though, NFL Network, your new employee does NOT plan on kissing Bill Belichick’s rings, just in case you thought otherwise. Let’s take a moment and look back on some of the good times with Rex with the help of former WEEI writer, Chris Price:
September of 2015 he didn’t know who Dion Lewis was: It’s the kid that’s playing quarterback. That’ll make it a lot easier to be a running back…So that’s what makes them — I don’t care, put anybody back there. You can do good there. All right? Nah, I mean they’re decent backs in their own right. But I don’t think we’re gonna focus on that kid. I can’t even tell you that kid’s name. But you’re gonna focus on the guy throwing the ball, I’ll tell you that much.
Annnnnnnnd we know how that ended. The guy could just never help himself. At best, the lovable loser, at worst, the abomidable baffoon. I, for one, enjoyed his schtick. It always resulted in a fun week and more times than not, an entertaining football game. Plus, he’d certainly be an upgrade over most of the weathermen on these sport networks nowadays, but I digress…
