In a new book, the infamous New York Jets coach reveals how you corral a team of testosterone-infused gladiators. He spoke to Marlow Stern about Tom Brady, Osama bin Laden, and foot fetishes.
Football coach Rex Ryan loves to blitz. But during the 2010 NFL season, it was his own New York Jets team that seemed to have the target on its back. Before the first seconds ticked off the game clock, the Jets had already been featured on HBO's behind-the-scenes training camp program Hard Knocks, where they were branded as Animal House-style gladiators thanks to their regular pranks and foul language (much of which came courtesy of Ryan). To make matters worse, sideline reporter Ines Sainz accused several Jets players of harassment. A series of foot fetish videos posted by Deadspin allegedly featuring Ryan and his wife, Michelle, added to the circus.

Hello, Zoners!
I hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to another week of wonderfulness. I had everything for this post written and ready to go, but with shock and surprise, only moments ago I scrapped my original greeting. For right now, late on Sunday, I am in front of my TV set, watching President Obama, and trying to absorb the news that nearly 10 years after the attacks on the World Trade Center, bin Laden is dead. As a New Yorker, this naturally resonates profoundly with me. I sit here, remembering that day in September, which was so beautiful when it began, and so shattered.
I feel I know how Jon will handle this; I wonder what Stephen will do. Jon can be sincere, emotional, and himself. Stephen’s character complicates things, but I have complete faith that he is up to the task.
Now, as I take a breath,...
