Reality TV’s got nothing on the Jets and Bengals. Welcome to the Battle of the Blowhards, and it’s a beautiful thing.
If Chad Ochocinco isn’t filling us in on his moves in the bedroom, Rex Ryan is telling the world he believes his 9-7 Jets, with a rookie quarterback, should be Super Bowl favorites.
If you didn’t know better, you would think this is the old AFL not the No Fun League that is the NFL.
JETS SHOULD THANK BENGALS’ BENSON
PALMER PUTS PLAYOFF DEBUT IN PAST
It’s about time coaches got off their high horse and started having fun with the playoff encounters instead of making every game out to be World War III.
With Rex and Chad, it’s more like WWE. There’s nothing wrong with that.
Ryan was making a point yesterday about how much he believes in his team when it was brought to his attention that his underdog Jets were 40-1 odds to win the Super Bowl.
“I wasn’t aware of that, but to me we should be favorites, so that’s fine,” he declared.
Was he talking about Saturday’s game against the Bengals in Cincinnati or the whole playoff ball of wax?
“I mean in the whole tournament,” Ryan answered. “I think we have the best defense. I know we do. I know we have the best rushing attack.
“Those are two huge factors in our favor. . . . If I had the choice to coach any team in this tournament, I would choose this one.”
