      Rex Ryan flips Dolphin fans the bird

      February 1, 2010 /

      Jets head coach Rex Ryan gave a couple of Dolphin fans the one-fingered salute at the MMA Strikeforce event in Miami over the weekend. You can see photos of the giddy Ryan and his middle finger at SPORTSbyBROOKS.com.

      Ryan has since issued an apology:

      Ryan: “It was stupid and inappropriate. I wouldn’t accept that type of behavior from one of the coaches or players and it’s unacceptable from me. I apologize to the Jets organization, the National Football League and NFL fans everywhere.”

      New York Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum: “Rex showed extremely poor judgment and his conduct was inappropriate. He knows he was wrong, has apologized and we have accepted his apology. Any other actions regarding this incident will be addressed internally by the organization.”

      According to Brooks of SPORTSbyBROOKS, Ryan was verbally attacked several times on his way to his seat by one belligerent Dolphin fan. It was on his way out that Ryan flipped off the fan, so for the most part the coach showed some restraint.

      Of course, it didn’t help that Ryan said that, “I just want to tell everyone in Miami that we’re coming to beat you twice next year,” in an interview that was played over the loudspeaker. Still, he laughed after he said it so it was supposed to be in good fun.

      Ryan was obviously in the wrong here, but if the drunken idiot kept his mouth shut then Rex wouldn’t have done what he did. I’m not excusing Ryan, but let’s be realistic here: When most human beings are provoked, they react. That said, what’s done is done and he apologized, so nothing more should be made about this situation.

      Chat live with Maurice-Jones Drew

      February 1, 2010 /

      The Gatorade Sports Science Institute is conducting athlete performance testing on several NFL players at their performance lab during Super Bowl week and one of the players that will be subjected to the testing will be Jaguars’ star Maurice Jones-Drew. The idea is to help educate the athlete about their individualized fluid needs, fuels used during exercise and how the new G Series fits into their training before, during and after workouts and competitions.

      Here’s a breakdown of what testing Maurice will go through:

      1. Estimation of body composition using a BOD POD® air displacement chamber. While the athlete sits quietly, the BOD POD® measures subtle changes in pressure inside the chamber, allowing GSSI to estimate body composition (lean muscle mass versus fat mass). A greater ratio of lean mass to fat mass is related to improved athletic performance, particularly in sports where speed, strength, power, and agility are important.

      2. Pre-test weigh-in and urine collection. Prior to the exercise portion of the testing, each athlete will provide a small urine sample to estimate current hydration status through urine specific gravity analysis. Additionally, nude body weight will be measured to determine sweat loss.

      3. 30-minute cycling session. Each athlete will perform 30 minutes of sub-maximal cycling exercise. During this time, the athlete will breathe continuously into a mask connected to the MOXUS Metabolic Cart System. The MOXUS system collects expired air which is used to determine energy (caloric) expenditure, as well as determine the amount of energy used from carbohydrate and fat fuel, so the athlete understands how much energy they’re expending during activity and from what source.

      4. Post-test weigh-out. An athlete’s sweat rate is estimated by calculating the change in body weight (pre-exercise weight minus post-exercise weight) over the duration of exercise. Determining the athlete’s sweat rate enables GSSI to provide an individualized hydration plan to help them match fluid loss in order to optimize their performance.

      Gatorade will be streaming Maurice’s workout live and you’ll have the opportunity to ask him questions at 1:15PM ET today on www.ustream.tv/gstream. So check it out!

      Also, be sure to check back at The Scores Report for our interview with Maurice, as we’ll be asking him about the testing, as well as some football-related questions.

      Possible landing spots for Brandon Marshall

      January 31, 2010 /

      ESPN.com breaks down several possible destinations for receiver Brandon Marshall if/when the Broncos decide to deal him this offseason.

      · The first speculation was that Marshall would be headed to the Seahawks or the Redskins, via two of our NFL Nation bloggers.

      · Cincinnati has the need for a second WR to go along with Chad Ochocinco, but we’re not sure the Bengals would want another head case.

      · The Cowboys need a legitimate No. 1 WR and Jerry Jones would have no problem forking out cash for a new deal to Marshall.

      · What about the Pats? Randy Moss isn’t getting any younger, and Wes Welker might be a shell of his former self after shredding his knee.

      · Dave Krieger of the Denver Post speculated on some new spots: the Ravens, Dolphins and Cardinals.

      Mike Klis of the Denver Post also throws out a Marshall-for-Brady Quinn scenario, but he’s just speculating – he has nothing to back that rumor up.

      The problem the Broncos have is that Marshall’s trade value has never been lower. Teams know that he and head coach Josh McDaniels are at odds and that Denver wants to rid itself of him. The Broncos will be lucky to land a third round pick for him, which would be quite a steal for the team that acquires him.

      Herschel Walker wins first MMA fight

      January 31, 2010 /

      Herschel Walker defeated Greg Nagy in the third round on Saturday night to win his MMA debut. Referee Troy Waugh called the fight after Walker drove Nagy into the fence and then proceeded to pummel him with a flurry of punches.

      From TSN.com:

      “The experience was exciting,” Walker said. “This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

      Still trim and fit at 47, Walker used his strength advantage to wear down the 26-year-old Nagy (1-2). He appeared to be close to the win near the end of the second five-minute round, but Nagy managed to extend the bout.

      In his football days, Walker dropped jaws with a workout regimen that included upwards of 3,000 situps and pushups everyday. He also holds a fifth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

      Considering that most athletes-turned-MMA-fighters get crushed in their MMA debuts, this is impressive. I have no idea who the hell Greg Nagy is, but well done Herschel, well done.
