Rex Ryan is putting his money where his mouth is. On MondayThe NFL fined the Jets coach, $75,000 for cursing at a fan nine days ago at MetLife Stadium. This is one of the largest coaches’ fines in recent NFL history.
The incident occurred at halftime during the Jets’ eventual loss to the New England Patriots 37-16. As Ryan and the Jets were walking off the field into the locker room, a fan yelled at Ryan, Bellichick is better than you. Ryan fired back at the fan with an expletive statement.
The Jets said they will not punish Ryan for his outburst, because it is a league issue. The next day, Ryan apologized for his outburst and admitted that he had lost his cool.
