Hard Knocks - Sexy Rexy Ryan NY Jets coach - likes his snacks

Posted by PTE Editor - terrance gavan

Sexy Rexy Ryan, New York Jets voluble and adjectively challenged wordsmith delights us all with some random selections from his voluminous vocabulary.
Rex-bomb is being roundly criticized by many virgin-eared purveyors of morality. 
To wit: many pundits and superfluous sports hacks who could add a dimension to their own boring screeds with a few sexy Rexy verbs, adverbs, adjectives and descriptors. 
It's a word people.
 Let. It. Go.
The You Tube Video below is called Sexy Rexy's snack speech.


By the way ... Rex Ryan is not the only NFL coach partaking so heartily in flowery f-bomb laced prose.

Globe writer Eric Duhatschek at Kash Dash - spawns grist for hockey mill




Eric Duhatschek, Globe and Mail
hockey writer ran in Haliburton's Kash Dash.
   Terrance Gavan – PTE Editor
Had an opportunity to chat with Globe and Mail hockey writer Eric Duhatschek a couple weeks back at the Kash Dash for Africa 10 K run.
   Duhatschek, a Calgary native, was there running and relaxing with some members of his family after spending a full working week at the hockey summit in Toronto.
   I saw the name, spotted him at dinner and introduced myself.
   I noted in passing that I was feeding my Globe Sports habit via my Kindle e-reader these days.
   We had a nice chat about on-line resources and where the newspaper industry was headed.
   Duhatschek chuckled as he contemplated the future.
   “I’ve got ten years left until retirement … I’m hoping the Globe will still be around,” chuckled Duhatschek.
   The chance meeting at the Kash Dash awards ceremony was a little serendipitous, because, as I told Eric at the time, I was planning to write a column based on his insightful article penned at the end of that week-long Hockey Summit in late August.
