    So says Jay Glazer......nearly a week later??
    Sorry but I'm skeptical. In the photo Ryan doesn't have the expression of someone who has just been spit on or at. Nor does it make sense to wait several days to speak up about it.
    Not to mention the story contradicts itself. The headline states he was spit ON. While the article states he was spit AT

    You mean Glazer the long time NY journalist?

    Wow, surprising that a NY journalist comes out a week after this incident with a story making Jabba the Rex a victim here rather than the much more likely scenario that he was just being his usual pompous and antogonizing self.

    Please.

    If they would have came forward with this from day one, Ryan would have saved Tannenbaum from the position of having absolutely no excuse to buffer his behavior against in his team's public statement, himself from likely having to shell out fifty grand in fines, and the embarrassment of being castigated a dimwitted moron by his team, his peers, and the league as a whole.

    It consequently would have left greater Dolphandom reeling with shame, but now, nearly a week later, rings sheepishly hollow, and synonymous to a faint whine. All things considered, if factual, this would have been made known from day one.

    Spitting on Rex Ryan makes sense to me. He ain't worth wasting dumping a beer on.

    He was not spit on.

    Jay Glazer is lying.

    he was on the LeBatard show and told the story early this week. he said the fans were calling him a "fat ****."

    He never mentioned spitting.

    LIAR.

    He was probably trying to eat them. They had to defend themselves, so they spit on him.

    When it comes out this long after the fact?

    Yeah it is.

    As big as Rex's mouth is he would have been screaming this off the top of every media rooftop. This was contrived by him and his NY media buddy. It's clear as day.

    Also when someone goes out of their way to be a villain and revel in that role he can't expect anything less than increased hostility by opposing fan bases.
    So even if he was spit on, it's his own doing.

    Why not say it right away though? Was he trying to protect the integrity of those fans by not outing them?

    Come to think of it, it is possible. I mean, would a guy Rex's size even feel if someone spit on him?

    Glazer its' super bowl week and this is what your story is about. Good job buddy.

    He's grasping for a story like Rex Ryan grasps for straws in a milkshake shoppe.

    I find it hard to believe, you cant spit on Rex Ryan, the saliva molecules would simply orbit around him.

    This is just a lie to try and lessen the amount the league fines him.

    No way Rex accepts a $50k fine by his owner and without bringing this up. It's a plausible story by itself, but a week later, after he's been fined, the pic, etc make it all look like damage control.

    It's not hard to believe that it would happen.
    However, the reasons for my doubt are:
    1. The timing. Why didn't Glazer speak up when it was first reported. After Bud Adams was fined a 1/4 of a mill for flipping the bird to Bills fans, most knew some sort of penalty was forthcoming. If it was true why not step up right after Ryan apologized and mention it then?
    2. How can anyone have such an amused look on his face after being spit on?

    1. Don't come to miami and expect to be treated nicely. You're the coach of a division rival in the biggest sport in america. Bill Belicheck doesn't go to madison square garden and expect hugs and kisses.

    2. You're paid millions to be a coach. You put up with whatever the hell anyone has to say to you because you are very well paid to do that.

    3. You're fat.

    This is disrespectful, and totally uncalled for. No one should be spit on. If we as proud Dolphin fans do this we are just falling to the level of no class, the same lack of class that we truly despise and hate.

    Well said, and agreed. I have been to a number of Phins-Jets games, mostly in the Orange Bowl (RIP), and have no doubt that some "fans" did spit on Ryan.

    There are good fans, and bad fans, on both sides. We just have many more good ones. That does not excuse, in any way, the bad ones on our behalf.

    Ryan can take his finger and shove it but, I would have done the same, and worse, if situations were reversed.

    I'm with you John. Two wrongs don't make a right.

    I would hope that as a Dolphin fan, I would never stoop so low as to cuss or act like an idiot like this.

    I am truly a fanatic, but I would never want to be known as an "obnoxious" fan. I love yelling etc. but I would not be rude to the opposing fans around me. Sometimes it's better to just shut up, than add to the problem.

    Ryan is a coach, he should know better than to act like an idiot.

    I think that's the reason I enjoyed the Atlanta game, there was fun in the good natured dissing, but no meaness.

    I'm still not buying this.


    • Why didn't he mention anything about this when the image came out? Any normal person when confronted with that image going public would tell his/her side of the story immediately.
    • The look on his face when he shot the the fans the finger was that of a lush having a good time with zero hint of anger.
    • We have pics of him shooting the bird and yet non of the spitting?
    Could he have been spit on? Sure, I have no problem believing its possible. We have all seen the many emotions of Rexy, mad, happy, playful we have seen them all. Look at this Picture and tell me this is the face of a man who was just spit on and is flipping the crowd off because he's upset.

    [​IMG]

    If you ask me this is just a way of covering his arse and trying to save some face with the league. I'm in no way buying his cover up story and hope the league fines him as well.

    I'm not, in any way, saying he's lying or not. I was just speaking of fans and coaches acting like people and not jerks.
    And to me, he looks about half lit in the pic. Which is still no excuse for what he did.
    If some one spit on me, you bet, they would know it right then one way or the other. I wouldn't wait to call them on it.

    Sorry guys, I have to agree with the beached whale and P.E.T.A. theory on this one. If someone were to spit on him for real, I don't think he would have the same expression on his face.

    Well away from here
    That's incorrect. I don't care what you pay me, you won't talk to me like I'm dirt. I may be able to better afford the fines and likely legal action, but you won't say whatever you won't. Free speech doesn't mean you can say anything you want - far from it.

    And money doesn't trump that piece of legislation.
