When Rex Ryan told a customer at the Patriots-Jets game to go “shut the f--- up,” Florio said that Ryan would surely get a fine larger than the $50,000 tab he incurred for flicking off a fan at a MMA event.

Florio suggested $100,000 sounded about right. It turns out that was $25,000 too much.

The NFL informed PFT Monday that Ryan will be fined $75,000 for the incident. That’s $75,000 more than he would have paid if camera phones hadn’t been invented yet.
