Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
You have to give the Jets credit. Right till the bitter end, Rex Ryan and his team will always keep things exciting. Not to content to fade quietly toward the offseason, Rex Ryan addressed his team on Monday and reportedly broke down in tears, and pleaded with his players to remain a team.
On the other end of the spectrum... The players themselves refused to even speak to reporters, except for the ones they decided to told to "Get the f*** out my face". Here's CBS Sports:
Santonio Holmes, who actually talked Sunday after he was benched for the final few minutes of the game, was escorted out by the Jets PR department and refused to comment, according to the Newark Star Ledger.
Linebacker Bart Scott also refused to talk, and when a photographer got in his way, Scott yelled, "Get out of my f------ face" and flipped the bird. Cornerback Darrelle Revis also uncharacteristically declined comment.
It just goes to show how acrimonious that locker room has become and what a disaster of a season it was for the Jets.
Thankfully, no reporters were actually decapitated this morning. But still, you get the idea. When asked about his plans for next season, Bart Scott also added, "All I know is I got a guaranteed contract for $4 million." Alright then! Here's to hoping Bart (and Rex) (and Sanchez) (and Santonio) sticks around for next year, because even if they failed on the field, this team is just way too much fun to love/hate.
A world without Rex and his ridiculous Jets is a world I want no part of whatsoever.

"What up? We're three cool guys looking for other cool guys who wanna hang out in our party mansion. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged. If you're fat, you should be able to find humor in the little things." Again, NOTHING SEXUAL

I don't get it
The Jets make two AFC championships in a row and make the playoffs again this year if Sanchez doesn’t throw the last game of the season away (and several earlier in the year), yet Ryan sucks and is overrated? The Jets have had tremendous success under Ryan.They didn’t make a Super Bowl, neither did 25 other teams, but they made two Championship games in a row (no other team did that). Give that team a real QB and they make the playoffs this year with 10-11 wins and probably win one of the last two Super Bowls. I’ll never understand New York fans and their constant hatred for everyone when they don’t win the Championship every year. Don’t you have something better to do like hate on the Mets, Isles, Nets, Devils, etc. that haven’t won anything in years?
