Rex Ryan isn’t going to kiss Bill Belicheck’s rings.
He also isn’t going to play “Little Brother” to Tom Coughlin and the New York Giants.
Super Bowl XLVI was supposed to feature the New York Jets, or so thought Rex Ryan. But then again, Ryan also thought Super Bowl XLV would include his team and the same with Super Bowl XLIV.
Instead of his team making it to the big game, Ryan will now be forced to watch the two teams he despises the most both play in the Super Bowl he was supposed to win.
As Super Bowl XLVI approaches, questions linger over whether Stevan Ridley will return to the backfield.
Ridley was placed on the inactive roster against Baltimore presumably in response to fumbles committed in back-to-back games—one against Buffalo in the last game of the regular season and one recovered by Denver in the postseason.
Bill Belichick‘s decision on Sunday was understandable. It’s no secret that players are targeted for their weaknesses, just ask the Giants‘ Jacquian Williams.
So just as sure as the Giants will aim to land on Rob Gronkowski‘s ankle, they will also look to light up the rookie running back—whom they perceive as prone to coughing it up.
The Miami Dolphins‘ search for a permanent solution at quarterback should begin and end with Green Bay Packers quarterback Matt Flynn, and according to teammate Aaron Rodgers, his backup could be headed to Florida this offseason.
“I think it’s a strong possibility that [the Dolphins] would make a run at him,” Rodgers said, the paper reports. “I think it kind of makes sense. Joe [Philbin] in that system, which I’m sure is going to be very similar to this system, and Matt having a great grasp of that and playing well in his recent opportunities. I think it would kind of make sense to bring Matt out there.”
