Brandon Jacobs to Rex Ryan: ‘Time to shut up, fat boy!’ – USA TODAY
After a week of backpage dialogue between the Jets and Giants leading up to Saturday’s game — much of it musings from Jets Coach Rex Ryan about his team’s supposed superiority — one Giant decided it wasn’t enough to let his club’s play do the talking in the wake of its 29-14 win.
“Time to shut up, fat boy!” Giants RB Brandon Jacobs yelled at Ryan, per The (Newark) Star-Ledger.
Per the (New York) Daily News, Jacobs also sent a “shut the (expletive) up” to Rex, who reportedly countered with “go (expletive) himself.”
Ryan’s take from his postgame press conference when asked about Jacobs?
“We had a private conversation. That’s all I’ll leave it as,” he said.
“He doesn’t like me. I respect him, but I couldn’t care less about him.”
NFL Network analyst Deion Sanders suggested Jacobs, known as an emotional type, was out of line on GameDay Final.
“That’s a no-no in our game,” said Sanders of an opposing player lashing out at an opposing coach. And Rex is loved, man, he’s adored by everybody in the game.”
“That’s very inappropriate.”
