gotta side with rex on this one
especially over a drunk fan
Really? Why would you say that???
How do you know the fan was drunk? All he yelled was "Rex, Belichick OWNS you". How does that make him drunk?
Players/coaches get yelled far worse all the time and 99.9% of them keep their heads down and focus on the job.
Gee, I guess there is nothing better for a head coach to do before halftime than to engage with fans who 'hurt their feelings'. Rex lost his focus - - he should have been thinking about what to say to his team and coordinators at halftime. His team had just stupidly called a timeout with a minute and a half to go with the ball within the 10 yard line - - thus handing Brady the opportunity to march down the field and score before halftime - - when Brady was getting the ball right back on the kickoff in the 3rd quarter - - Ryan had PLENTY to go over in that lockerroom. They have something like 9.5 minutes in the lockerroom and every second counts. Jawing with some inconsequential fan is ridiculous.
And let's see how much it costs Rex from the league.
The irony is fantastic! For 2.5 years, his greatest goal was to get under Belichick's skin - - read the papers, it's his obsession to goad Belichick. One simple fan yells out a quick "Belichick owns you!" and Ryan loses his focus, composure and several thousand bucks. How can any Pats fan not LOVE THAT?
Now, I can understand from a Charger fan perspective that seeing any coach with a heartbeat is refreshing, but then Marty Mornigweg would be your man automatically in that case.
Yeah "great move, Rex!" (I sincerely hope he does this every game from now on!)
