this is embarassing. are there still people that think excess weight is only about self discipline?
and ps to the guy who says you should join the army to lose weight, seriously?

More Florio ripping Rex for being fat
When will Speight do something?
Wow, Florio, watch yourself. Leberfeld thinks that Bruce Speight may come after you. LOL.

Florio, you’re a dick. This guy is trying to better his health and you give him a hard time?
Also, did the Jets have any difficulty performing for him last year? I don’t think his size was an issue at all. Maybe it helped him… I mean, you’re not gonna miss him on the sideline.

Exercise, Rex.
Start by placing your hands at the edge of the dinner table. Push away from the table.
And a salad couldn’t hurt.

Actually, it’s diet REGIMEN.

Listen author, your logic sucks. Just because a fat coach is unable to maintain a healthy diet doesn’t mean he can’t expect pro athletes to maintain a healthy diet. Pro athletes are professional athletes. Coaches are not.. Rex Ryan, while unable to maintain a healthy diet, should easily expect his players to maintain healthy diets….. Its common sense… So no, that wasn’t a great question.. Your huge jump in logic makes you sound like a dumbass..

Go eat a donut, losers. Get off Florios sack. Go be outraged over something important why don’t you.

For someone that likes to dress up everyday and make a little video to post on his blog, because you think it makes you look good, you sure did a good job making yourself look pretty dumb.
For a guy who sounds like he’s copy/pasting WebMD, you’d think he’d come across the statistics that say that more than half of the United States is overweight. NEWS FLASH FLORIO: You just made enemies with the majority of Americans!
I mean holy crap, there are so many accomplished, successful, business men and women, who have achieved more in a weeks worth of work, than you will in a life time. And you make it sound like their weight problems are so easy to solve.
Maybe you should put out your own diet regiment that includes, two sixers of 16 oz. RedBull and 30 mg of adderall a night, while you put together a piss poor article attacking the majority of america, followed by crying yourself to sleep while watching the Golden Girls.
Your writing has just reached the level of MY attempt at humor:
PATHETIC

I’ve loved this site for years…but your comments after this “article” are BS and there is no excuse for it.
A man tries to help himself…and, in so doing, help his family…and you essentially mock him as weak. So, he’s the only guy on the planet that has used surgery to improve his life?
Mike, I agree with 99% of your comments (OT being the big exception). But this time, you really should be ashamed of yourself.

This surgery isn’t to be taken lightly, but for a guy in Rex’s shape it is a good idea. the negative consequences of him carrying around all that weight has to be dealt with right away.
His overall health is way more important than proving something to himself or any one else. Parcells had heart and other health problems that caused him to retire..perhaps if he had this kind of surgery in the ’90s he wouldn’t have had to take those breaks.
Also, the fact that he has no discipline isn’t something new. Just because he got the band surgery now, its obvious when you look at him that he can’t control himself..this surgery is a step to fix the problem.

WOW florio, you are a slime ball of a journalist and a total idiot. I have no idea why NBC decided to endorse you. You belong on TMZ or better yet the National Enquirer. No wonder why Channing Crowder wants to beat your a$$, and I sincerely hope he does. Anybody can hide behind the internet and speak his mind but I guarantee you would never say that to Rex’s face you pu$$y!

Real nice Florio…from ambulance chaser to medical doctor. You really like slamming the Jets every chance you get. You better watch yourself because you may need that surgeon that Ryan used to help you get your head out of Belicheck’s ass.

BoltMan, took the time to read what you said and am disappointed I wasted half a second on your poor attempt of a comment.
Actually surprised you had the intelligence to use a computer, get on a Web site, read my comments, and make a comment yourself.
Give yourself a hand!

So tiger woods can’t control his sexual drive. Would that suggest that he can’t discipline his child not to run into oncoming traffic?!?! Jeez!!
P. S. Does this in any way put tannenbaum on the hot seat?….

Hey Humboldt…maybe Mike will install a glass belly-button so you can check the weather every once in a while. Troller.

Florio, I have checked your site numerous times a day since 2006. I am not going to make some empty statement like “im done with this site” BUT
This is truly disappointing. I waited to post until you responded to the initial criticism. One of things I like best here is that when you make a mistake you own it not delete it or pretend it never happened. That is what you should do here.
Trying to mitigate/justify is beneath you and this site. At least it had been until now.
Here is to hoping you do the right thing

Mike, it’s absolutely DELICIOUS that you are going to chide Rex Ryan for his mental and emotional fragility when it comes to eating … yet you are paralyzed by fear at the thought of stepping on a freaking airplane.
We all have baggage, so the next time you are about to pass judgement, take the plank out of your own eye, first.

What aren’t you willing to do to make money?, remeber he is a lawyer by trade. I guess u have not faults. do u look at thier life style of a coach. seemd like they work 18 hrs or more a day. plus the stress makes u eat more… oh wait you are a smart man.. maybe not… u need to stay classy….or try to most of us think this site is great ,,, u dont need to stoop into the gutters to be good. there is plenty of good material out there to draw people in. than to drag someone into the dirt because he has a eating problem, do you know his medical history. do you know that there are people that eat normal that still can be overweight…..Lets Keep this site with a little Class

This is beneath even you, Florio. The commentary on your part is simply tasteless, and has no place on a site that is being endorsed by NBC.
Either apologize for this article, or lose this reader.
