That story is the worst piece of reporting I've ever seen. Who is "the team source?" An unattributed quote speculating on what is in Rex Ryan's mind from exactly who?!?
Manish Mehta of the NY Daily News should be the first one fired.
NBC Sports should be embarrassed to post that story.
You do realize that some of the biggest news stories in history were broken by anonymous sources? Most notably Watergate.
People always dismiss stories they don't want to believe because they feel the writer is making up these team or league sources. I am sure Mehta got this information from someone close to Ryan who probably was told this directly from Ryan. Otherwise, I doubt he would have run this story.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan had someone tell Mehta this so that it got out there for whatever agenda he has (getting himself fired, forcing Woody to fire Tanny or make bold moves). Ryan's career is on the line here. Either he needs to turn it around in NY or he needs to convince prospective employers that this circus wasn't his fault.
