This is classical Ryan, he blames the Falcons for him being fat. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_y...YF?slug=ap-jets-ryansurgery&prov=ap&type=lgns Ryan also partially blamed his weight for him not getting a head coaching job with the Atlanta Falcons after the 2007 season. He thought he was a shoo-in for the job that eventually went to friend and former Baltimore Ravens colleague Mike Smith(notes). “I think I was too fat,” Ryan said with a laugh in December. Ryan weighed 340 pounds at the start of last season, gaining at least 30 pounds after he was hired by the Jets in January 2009. He even tried a liquid diet during training camp and lost 20 pounds, but quickly gained it right back.
Hey, one could say it's to his benefit. The players love to play for him, right? His milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
