Jets’ Ryan: Dungy ‘unfairly judged me’
There are serious matters with pending death and financial ruin, complete failure of ecosystems and communities hang in the balance. The futures of our children’s children are being influenced even as you read this.
Moving out from our center of the challenges that are understood to have defined the summer of 2010
We clearly know that our shared border and the entire sovereign nation of Mexico are violently out of control. Killings and violence have turned the region into yet another severe crisis, without any predictable resolution.The American Real Estate industry continues floundering and FORECLOSING at a rate that is shredding families and communities in almost every part of America. Without a rock hard bottom in clear view, the inevitable rebound seems to remain around the next bend of an endless winding road and ephemeral notion of an unknown solution seemingly less realizable than ever.
Our sons and daughters are dying on two fronts of the same failed mission, begging to reveal any long term benefit to a single American that I know.
Unless you were a beneficiary of massive, multi billion dollar Defense contracts, secured through non competitive bid assignments. Blackwater, a privately owned corporation ,shadowy in its global dealings , well known for employing retired military Brass, with well greased Pentagon resumes, epitomized this rape of our Treasury . While grandly exploiting Bush’s criminal incompetence , they narrowly escaped having to stand trial for the massive slaughter of eighteen unarmed Iraqi civilians in a single incident of unexplained barbarism and hubris.
This unraveling of our ability to even come close to a presumption of effective mission control, was perpetrated by the very same personnel and Corporate command structure, Cheney and Rumsfeld so unrelentingly countenanced as a Security/Para Military organization, championed as an asset seasoned and effective, highly paid for keeping our sacred warmongers out of harms way.
Blackwater, it was said, was infinitely superior to any garden variety Armed Forces . This company was given billions in American tax dollars, to perform tasks that our own Military could not undertake, as they were involved in more mission critical assignments. A loosely disciplined, and haphazardly composed command structure, revealed a private money pit, and a largely out of control band of obscenely compensated, renegade mercenaries.
They were permitted to go about the Iraqi theater of war as they dam well pleased. It was not an easy pill to swallow, as these fortune seeking Dogs of War flaunted the superiority of every single aspect of the equipment and sophisticated amour and weaponry they were able to purchase at will.
Of course, if you are making more money in one month than an American GI dreams of making in a 12 month tour, you surely don’t want an injury to limit the growth of your Swiss Franc, tax exempt secret, and foreign Bank account.
There you have it, and the winner is.Wednesday, August 18, 2010Jets’ Ryan: Dungy ‘unfairly judged me’
Rex Ryan extended an invite to Tony Dungy Wednesday to spend a day at Jets practice.CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP)
Rex Ryan wants Tony Dungy to know he’s more than just a foul-mouthed coach.

Dungy criticized the New York Jets coach earlier this week for his Rex-pletive-filled appearance on the premiere episode of HBO’s ”Hard Knocks.”
”The thing is, I’ve been a big admirer of Tony Dungy, and I’m sure a lot of people are,” Ryan said Wednesday. ”I felt that he unfairly judged me, and that was disappointing to me.”
Dungy, a devout Christian, told ”The Dan Patrick Show” on Monday that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell should talk to Ryan about his excessive cursing because, ”I just don’t think the league needs that.” Dungy, who won a Super Bowl with Indianapolis, is an NFL analyst for NBC.
Ryan said he called Dungy and left a message that included his telephone number, and anticipated hearing back from him.
”I’ve invited him to come to camp or any time to spend the day with me and the organization,” Ryan said. ”I think maybe he’ll have a different take on it.”
Ryan said last week he only cared that he disappointed his mother, Doris, but apologized if he offended ”more people than I usually offend.”
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said there is no chat planned between Goodell and Ryan.
”No, Rex’s mother delivered the message,” Aiello told The Associated Press.
Ryan was asked if he was surprised Dungy suggested that the commissioner get involved.
”I think I was more surprised that he judged me,” Ryan said.
Ryan was criticized by some fans and media for what they thought was an excessive use of profanity during the show, which first airs at 10 p.m. EDT on Wednesdays. The five-part ”Hard Knocks” series chronicles the team through training camp.
In the premiere, Ryan is shown using profanity during a team meeting and while talking to players and coaches. HBO posts warnings to viewers about the language contained in the program, and replays have profanity bleeped out during the day.
He also reiterated Wednesday that he will always be himself – colorful language and all.
”I’m a good person,” Ryan said. ”Just because somebody cusses or whatever doesn’t make them a bad person. Just because a guy doesn’t cuss doesn’t make him a good person. So, I’ll stand by my merits.”
Ryan said he had ”no idea” if there would be less profanity in the second episode. Then he was informed that HBO’s preview indicated sharp-tongued special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff would be featured.
”Then,” he said with a grin, ”there could be more.”

All Rights ReservedMeanwhile, the attached article really has to make you wonder what is going on in the minds of apparently aware media and sports executives, as the NFL is responding to the discomfort created in the unbelievable vocabulary choices liberally flavored with salty four letter sins, chosen by N.Y. Jets Coach Ryan. Well, fuck me runnin!
If that is all Tony Dungy has to worry about, home boy is way out front of most of us, with rare and quite limited exceptions.
I chose to post this innocuous tempest in a tea pot., because in reading this, I could not help becoming incensed, and nauseated by the obvious pretentiousness.
If he really was so disturbed at the degenerate vulgarities Ryan unleashed in the incident, he knows bloody well enough as a Coach and Minister, that he would have been more likely to be effective in turning Coach Ryan’s filthy mouth into a more gentile, fit for public consumption, locus operandi, if he would have humbly requested the opportunity to meet with Coach Ryan privately, and explain the source of his concern in a way more representative of sincere beliefs and common sense.Dungy preferred to spew forth sanctimoniously, in a publicly broadcast T.V. show, where Ryan was not present, falsely attempting to get Ryan in the heat with NFL league Administrators, by throwing a challenge to the NFL Commissioner to sanction or “reign in” the foul mouthed Coach. Dungy always seemed cool, and I know he lost his son to suicide so tragically, not so many years ago. It is still mind bogglingly cheeky to make an issue in such a disingenuine and self-righteous, manner.
Rather than demonstrating an understandable concern for the lack of civility and conduct unbecoming, and humbly making an honest effort to appeal to Mr. Ryan in a private setting, Dungy chose to travel the low road in his attempt to publicly humiliate a member of his own fraternity of NFL leaders…It is the mirror image of the same type of vacuous, moral depravity familiar as the hallmark of every single degenerate betrayal of the American people by Bush Bullies, as they fabricated false justification for war.
When Dubya disguised himself as a fighter pilot, and stood on the deck of the carrier and announced, “Mission accomplished”. The mission he had accomplished was about his war to get the money stream open and commence lining the pockets of countless cohorts in the exclusive elite of war profiteers. They amassed incalculable fortunes by spilling the blood and murdering the loved ones of people who lives in places they have never been, and are populated by people they couldn’t care less about.
This sucks, it is wrong, and it must stop. Sorry Tony. I just get passionate and the next thing you know the S word just pops right out.
All comments and opinions welcome and appreciated.
