.@JakeAsman asked Rex Ryan what is something from his time with the #Jets that he thinks about:
"The fans, No. 1. Even to this day like I'm their coach. Like, oh my God, that's awesome. 🥹 I told the team in the spring, 'I came out here, I'm wearing Jets stuff, whatever, because I'm a New York Jet. Why? Because I gave every damn thing I had. So did @RealTannenbaum.
We gave every damn thing we had & you know what? At the end of the day, if it's not good enough & they tell you to leave, you can sit back & say I gave every damn thing I had & I'm still a damn New York Jet. Those fans, they look at me as I'm a New York Jet & always will be, & that's something I take a lot of pride in."
Alex Volkanovski is the best type of Champion you could ask for.
Stays active and consistently fights the best contenders in the division.
No drama, no squatting, just competition.
He deserves every bit of success he has.
In 1952, Ted Williams was the best hitter in baseball. He'd already lost three seasons flying for the Marines in World War II.
Then the Marines recalled him to fly in Korea.
He was 33 years old and at the peak of his career. He went anyway.
Williams flew F9F Panther jets on ground attack missions, diving at enemy troops and supply lines through heavy anti-aircraft fire.
On February 16, 1953, his jet was hit during a strike. It started leaking fuel and caught fire. His radio and hydraulics went out. He couldn't lower his landing gear.
He stayed with the burning plane, nursed it back to an American air base, and slammed it down on its belly at high speed. He jumped out moments before it went up in flames.
The next day, he flew again.
His squadron also had another future legend in it: a Marine pilot named John Glenn. Glenn later said Williams flew as his wingman on about half of his missions.
Williams flew 39 combat missions in Korea before going back to the Red Sox.
One of them became the first American to orbit the earth. The other became the last man to hit .400. And they flew together in Korea.
Take a look at this video and notice the way everyday people carried themselves on the street.
What’s stopping us from returning to this level of decorum and pride?
THROWBACK: The last time a #NFL head coach wore a suit on the sideline was when Jack Del Rio of the Jacksonville #Jaguars in 2006.
👀👀👀
We should bring coaches wearing suits back to the sidelines.
“They don’t win. They can’t beat the good teams. That’s how it’s been year after year. We got to the World Series in 2024 and stabbed ourselves in the gut multiple times.”
Anthony Rizzo on the Yankees. 😳
@PatriotMeLee@jimiuorio This is exactly what’s wrong. It has perpetuated hand outs, go create your own supplement, not take from those who are creating because you didn’t plan effectively. I thought Gen Z was the entitled generation? 😂
@DBCooperTX Not the younger generations problem they bought into a lie, and the system where they knew the consequences. The math didn’t add up from day 1, and the Millenials and Gen Z are the first to question it and it needs to be torn down.
