Jets-Giants 2010: Crass vs Class
Diehl, Snee Officially Pro Bowlers
T David Diehl and G Chris Snee were officially added to the NFC’s Pro Bowl roster yesterday. They replace New Orleans’ Jon Stinchcomb and Jahri Evans, who will not be playing since the Saints are in the Super Bowl.
Diehl and Snee will represent the Giants along with teammates C Shaun O’Hara and WR Steve Smith in Sunday night’s game in Miami.
Rex Ryan”s Backhanded Giants’ Diss
In the never-ending press conference that has become the new Jets culture, someone is bound to say the wrong thing sooner or later. The Colts were not happy with the loquacious nature of the Jets this past week and made it known to the world after the game (illustrated by the comments made on the victory podium by Jim Irsay, Jim Caldwell and Peyton Manning).
But even those not-so-subtle hints and a sound thrashing apparently cannot stop the gargbage-laden diatribe of Rex Ryan. Yesterday he took a swipe at the Giants, who are innocent bystanders in this Jet whirlwind.
“Let’s play this game in front of our fans and our stadium, the new Jets stadium,” Ryan ranted. “I can’t wait. We get our own stadium and we are not visitors in our stadium. This is our stadium. We are the biggest show in town, and that’s what it’s going to be.”
I’m not going to let us get dragged in to this idiocy. Neither are the Giants. They have too much class.
When asked about Ryan’s comments, Giants’ VP Pat Hanlon simply said: “The Jets had a very good season, and we congratulate them.”
It’s crass vs class at the Meadowlands these days. Ryan will one day be eating his words you can rest assured.
