So Rex Ryan gave the finger to a bunch of Dolphins fans yesterday at a MMA event outside Miami. This made the back cover of the Daily News, Post and Newsday, because we’re apparently supposed to be all broken up and sanctimonious about it.

What I don’t get is exactly which Jets fan that loves Rex Ryan will suddenly stop loving Rex Ryan because he flipped off some Dolphins fans. Look at that guy. Look at that finger. What a hero.
Rumors that he wasn’t trying to offend anyone but merely admiring how much his finger resembled a sausage are still unconfirmed.
Anyway, as a salute to Rex Ryan and his one-finger salute, and in tribute to me learning that it’s apparently cool to show unblurred pictures of people giving the finger in respectable news outlets like the New York Post, today all of the content on TedQuarters will focus on the middle finger.
For now, enjoy the Best of Rex, courtesy of our SNY.tv video crew. No middle fingers, sadly, but some pretty great moments regardless:
The amount of goodwill Rex has built up is amazing. A picture of any other pro athlete or coach flipping off fans and they would be getting crucified. Rex on the other hand has fans eating it up.
I am totally loving it… HELL YEAH REX!
He should take it one step further and eat a dolphin on broadcast television. Just make sure its primetime in Miami.
Rex just understands that everyone’s tired of the whole public relations game. I cant stand company lines and cliche tippy toe answers. And it’s football, so who cares?
People get worked up about the weirdest s@#$. I mean, you have to interpret things in context. He wasn’t at the opera, he was at a f@#$king MMA event. Seems totally appropriate to me.
Can I please have your job? I can’t believe you get paid for this!
