Is it safe to assume these fines are tax write offs?
Then it wouldn’t hurt so much or maybe even help a player looking for some tax help.

Punk behavior, but maybe we should just encourage it until the words have all lost their magical impact.

stop expecting these players and coaches to pretend they like fans. they don’t. even when they say, “we have the greatest fans in the world,” it’s because you keep buying tickets and jerseys. they don’t give a damn about you. and they shouldn’t have to care about you. sorry to break it to you all.

Nice to see the wheels coming off Jets while they miss the playoffs.

The fine is not enough.

Rex (“The Mouth That Swore”) Ryan should get at least a 3-game suspension in addition to the fine.

The Jests wouldn’t miss him anyway after the bone-headed coaching job he did in Denver Thursday night.

Any team as loaded with talent as the Jests are shouldn’t have to deal with an underperforming wind bag of a coach like this.

I say bring in Josh (“The Franchise Killer”) McDaniels and let old Rexy hit the unemployment line.

If you listen to the clip it sure sounds like once RR tells the fan to shut up the fans all start laughing and shouting. Hardly a reaction of someone that upset at getting it back from Rex. In fact, I would bet a lot of money they said that to Rex just because they knew he would respond somehow…hence the laughter. What’s the harm??? If Rex took a swing at the guy, fine. But it’s just words.

Is there a site anywhere that gives an accounting of where the league is sending all this fine money?

No one should be fined for mere words, whoever they are directed towards.

Most of these fines are nonsense!…Years ago when the Jets played at Shea statium I was at a game that we played the Steelers. A loud-mouthed fan in the stands near by was cursing at Jack Lambert the whole game. Several times Lambert turned around to stare at the idiot but the guy kept doing it. After the game Lambert went into the stands after the guy! Lambert got a few shots in on him before other team mates pulled him out of there…NOTHING came of that …and in my opinion justifiably so!…The guy got what was coming to him….and that was it!

The NFL is getting to be a political correct league. Somewhere along the line a league that was put together back in 1929 never suspected that a good hit or giving a ahole fan a finger would get you a fine of $100,000.

We should look at this from Ryan’s point of view. That fan had no right to say that the Country Buffet was closed.

For those fining whiners. How would you feel if your 7 yr old was close to that event? Way to role model, REX!!

Goodell and the owners don’t keep these fines. The NFL and NFLPA contract directs the money to retired player programs, and agreed upon charities.

Actually, I also believe he should not be fined at all.

I still think that coaches get off easy compared to players. They should have more control over their players. Whenever a player gets fined for an illegal hit ( one that is actually illegal), hit the coach in the wallet to. Maybe then they would start coaching guys to wrap up and not headhunt. Or they could suspend coaches occasionally. That never happens and should have in the case of spygate a few years back. Like in college, some coaches just have a “lack of institutional control.”

Why not give him a game or two the team don’t need him.

Is it any surprise that it is taking them so long to fine a Jet? Goodell loves the Jets, so he was trying to find way to not fine him.

This just in: “Roger Goodell just announced that the NFL has fined Rex Ryan 75″.

We are thinking $75K, but he really means 75 cents.

that fan was probably stoked. probably told everyone about it. that fine is ridiculous

$100000 fine for swearing at a fan lol. Give me a break. $50,000 for giving a fan thge finger? Roger Goodell is ruining this league. The pussification of professional football continues. Now if you give someone a legal hit and they slither around on the ground you get a fine. This is a girls game now. Lets put some lawyers on the field in stripes now and let them call the game. Pathetic.

I’m no Rex Ryan fan but that sure does seem a bit steep. Given his personality he just can’t shut up and head down the tunnel even at a home game. I can just imagine the abuse Bill Belichick must take heading to the tunnel after a road game. Like a commentor noted above a ticket doesn’t give a fan the “right” to pester or provoke but provokee can’t let himself get into a conversation whether verbal or animated with a drunken idiot.

Will he finally shut up? Sadly, no he’ll probably just swear less.

The fan deserved what he got, just like those fans in the Pistons-Pacers games. Our society has too much lack of accountability these days. Would you yell stuff or throw a beer at a person on the street without expecting to get punched or told where to go?

They need to give the fan about $30,000 of the money …I don’t hate anyone…but I strongly, strongly dislike Rex Ryan…he’s bad for the sport.

Rex Ryan is classless. Everyone with a brain sees that. Short of a physical altercation though, if a classless fan decides to taunt him, I don’t buy the “paying customer” excuse for fining him.

Fine him $100,000 if he says that unprovoked. Anything else to me deserves at least an eviction from the game for the fan as well.

Just because a fan forks over good money doesn’t give said fan the ‘right’ to pester and provoke the head coach, either.
_______________________________

Well the fan didn’t say anything offensive or provocative, he simply stated the truth; Belichick is a better coach.
