My two cents

The fighting in the cage apparently wasn't the only action at the Strikeforce Miami event on Saturday night.
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan was in attendance and, after being booed while giving an interview on television, the out-spoken rookie coach who brought his team to the AFC Championship game was caught on film giving fans the middle finger.
I say so what. Who cares if Ryan, whom we all know tells it like it is, made a rude gesture to a bunch of crybaby Miami fans who are just jealous of what Ryan did in New York.
Get over it. I mean, players in the NBA are bringing guns into their locker rooms and threatening each other with them, the NFL is trying to claim the rights to a saying older than the league itself, and more and more baseball players' names keep coming up as steroid users.
All of that going on and Ryan has to apologize for giving some people at an MMA event the bird.
It would be a completely different story if Ryan flipped off some fans while he was on the sideline coaching a game, or did so during a press conference. But this is his private life and what he did isn't even that bad.
I think it's good for a coach to show a little emotion every once in a while. Ryan has nothing to apologize to the New York Jets program for. If anything, they should be thanking him for a great season.
