Klecko73isGod Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Great, great article http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2009/columns/story?page=hotread19/rexryan FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- There are some who claim that Rex Ryan isn't afraid of anything. He is 6-foot-4 and 350 pounds of swagger, and when he was younger and a tad quicker, his father taught him that a Ryan didn't need to start a fight but that he'd damn well better deliver the last punch. He is incapable of displaying any pregame angst. Days before the biggest game of his life last weekend in San Diego, as Jets fans clenched and braced for the worst, Rex was on the phone with his brother Rob, cackling, trash-talking and bragging about what his team was about to accomplish. [+] Enlarge Joe Robbins/Getty ImagesRex Ryan, in his first season as head coach of the New York Jets, has led them to the AFC Championship against Indianapolis on Sunday. Don't tell Peyton Manning this -- heck, go ahead and tell him, they don't care -- but the Ryans have a rather large family reunion planned for the first week of February in Miami, which happens to be Super Bowl week. The bags already are packed, Rob says. It's the only way Buddy Ryan's boys know how to operate. "That's just us being us," Rob says. "We have ridiculous confidence.

Darrellegivesmeaboner#24 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I just read that on ESPN. Honestly, I feel like I wanna run through a wall for the guy, and I'm just the guy who sits on the couch drinking beers on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Banner Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Rex reminds me of this quote about the INTJ category in the Myers-Briggs system of personality types: "To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how."
