Jet Nut Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Some people just love to be offended and go out of there way to look for it.. So you would be appalled if we picked up a player that hit Brady and made him a captain next time we played them?? OK then Mr Sensitive.. A total scrub who's only known for punching a teammate in the face? Breaking every rule of the locker? Yes, I'd be offended if my idiot of a coach did all he could to make us a laughingstock of the league by signing a player like that, a player that no one in the league would have signed. And I'd hide under a rock if that same idiot made that scrub a captain. For many reasons. Start with the definition of what a captain should stand for and why Rex has named him captain.

Jet Nut Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 As usual the media and the fans are making a big deal out of a non-story. Rex has always sent ex-players from the team they are playing out as captains . IK is an ex-Jet. Marshall, who was smith's friend,and the only one who stood up for him, had this to say. Kimberley A. Martin @KMart_LI 2h2 hours ago Do guys on offense harbor ill-feelings for IK? Marshall: ”Man, that was so long ago, u just reminded me that that happened... (1) #jets Kimberley A. Martin @KMart_LI 2h2 hours ago Marshall cont: "We’re just focused on gettin win #6. U’ve gotta understand he was a tmmate of alotta guys in this rm too.

Warfish Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 No, the players wont say a word now. They'll talk after the game. They're under new rules. No, they really don't give a sh*t and most players never did. Rivalry and anger/hatred is a fan thing, not a player thing (sadly). For them, it's just business, and they all have as many friends in Bills Blue as friends in Jets Green. Especially nowadays. Free Agency killed REAL hatred and rivalries, because last years rival is this years teammate is next years possible new team. We want them to care because we care. They, in the vast majority, simply don't. They care about as much as you care about the schlub in the rival company down the hall you have lunch with every Tuesday, who you also happened to once work with, and went to college with. You're not "rivals" at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brown Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I love Rex, the man is having fun. I hope we kill his team but he's awesome. I love you as a poster no doubt. For example you are one of the few to give Sanchez any credit for anything but I wonder if you would you be saying this if IK had punched a Jet female secretary in the mouth and broke her jaw because she had borrowed $600???? I don't think so.... You can Love Rex all you want but there are certain things you don't do like making Hardy a Captain on Dallas or rewarding a player for essentially assaulting his teammate....

Charlie Brown Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I think we should track down all the dudes that banged his wife through that website and make them our honorary captains.

Yeah I don't really buy into the whole player rivalry thing either when you see players going up to Tom Brady and Manning after games asking for an autograph after they got their ass whopped.

bealeb319 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Nah. Fitz, Sheldon, and Mo are the only captains we need. It calmly and quietly says enough to Rex and the Bills, while also making a hell of a lot of sense. While Rex sending IK out there is bombastic and silly, like this: Sending out Fitz, Sheldon, and Mo would be more cold, calculated, and dignified, like this: If we really wanted to slap Rex in the face we could make our entire revamped secondary (the one Idzik refused to give him) captains and send them out for the coin toss.

southparkcpa Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The hypocrisy of fans is alive and well if a player on the Pats hit Brady and the Jets picked him up and made him a captain the next time we played them Jets fans would be cheering.. Dear Rex... I love and miss you. I defend you on the interweb every day with my black sweater vest on and sometimes I even out on a headset.

JustInFudge Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Said this another thread and I've said it before but as a huge Rex supporter, getting to see it from a far...he's really a boob when it comes to this stuff. Still think he's a good coach and I do respect that he is who he is and the Jets are going to have their work cut out for them but he's a frigging boob when it comes to this stuff. Just no need to do this. I know its his thing but still, I actually think the gesture would have more impact this time around by not naming him the Captain.

It won't affect the outcome of the game, but to me it's disrespectful to the fan and disrespectful to the NFL in general. It's simply about Rex being a classless child.

stoicsentry Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Rex is amazing. And hilarious. Now that he's gone, I appreciate him more than ever.

nyjunc Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Pretty much everyone said it was stupid and wrong and shouldnt have happened and could have been avoided. Thats about as hard a non defense as there was. Not the picture youre trying to paint. Youre trying to make a case that the players turned their backs on Geno. and yet no one would back Geno.

Thank you for the beginning of the post but I don't think you can compare 2 grown men, professional football players fighting to punching a female secretary. if he did that he'd be out of the league. The punch happened, Ik lost his job here and was picked up somewhere else. they can't make decisions going forward on what happened w/ the punch. it's over.
