| Jets’ Rex Ryan won’t get additional fine from NFLNew York Jets coach Rex Ryan will not be fined by the NFL for making an obscene gesture at a mixed martial arts event last weekend.League spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed to The Associated Press in an e-mail Wednesday that Ryan would not face additional discipline by the NFL after the Jets fined him $50,000 on Tuesday.
The coach was caught on a cell phone camera flipping his middle finger at a fan during the MMA competition in Sunrise, Fla., on Saturday night. The image of Ryan quickly spread across the Internet and made its way onto the back pages of New York tabloids. Ryan apologized the next day in a statement, calling his actions “stupid and inappropriate.” General manager Mike Tannenbaum had said the organization was disappointed that Ryan “showed extremely poor judgment” and would address the matter internally. The league looked into the incident to determine if Ryan violated its personal conduct policy, but was satisfied with the discipline handed down by the Jets. Commissioner Roger Goodell fined Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams $250,000 for making an obscene gesture to fans in November, but that was during an NFL game. Ryan led the Jets to the AFC championship game in Indianapolis in his first year as an NFL head coach, and made headlines throughout the season with his confident statements. He had a playful feud with Miami linebacker Channing Crowder, saying he had walked over tougher guys than him while going to fights. That made Ryan a likely target of booing fans during a TV interview at the MMA event that featured former NFL running back Herschel Walker at the Bank Atlantic Center, the Florida Panthers’ home arena. “I want to just tell everybody in Miami, ‘Hey, we’re coming to beat you twice next year,”’ Ryan said while fans booed during the ringside interview. The Dolphins beat the Jets in both meetings this season. shop 2010 pro bowl jerseys and 2010 Super Bowl jerseys from wholesale nfl jerseys store |

Coach Rex Ryan said the rookie quarterback was medically cleared by team doctors after practicing three straight days. Sanchez took all of the snaps with the first-team offense Friday after taking 75 percent of them Thursday.
“We went into practice thinking he would be fine, so he was going to get 100 percent of the reps,” Ryan said. “After talking with the doctors, they felt great. … Mark feels strong. I asked him again, ‘Do you feel strong?’ and he said, ‘Yeah, absolutely.”’
Mark Sanchez missed the Jets’ 26-3 victory last Sunday at Tampa Bay after injuring the knee against Buffalo on Dec. 3, and was replaced by Kellen Clemens. He returned to practice Wednesday and experienced no setbacks during the week.
“It feels good,” Sanchez said of the knee. “There is no swelling.”
Mark Sanchez will wear custom-fitted braces on both knees; he had already been wearing one on the left from a previous injury.
“It’s going to be a Joe Namath throwback game for Mark,” Ryan said. “He slid right in front of me in practice to make sure I knew he was ready to go. He feels confident. He threw the ball really well today. He’s ready to go.”
Ryan said the Jets also are preparing Sanchez for his first game in wintry weather. It’s expected to be snowy with near-freezing temperatures at the Meadowlands on Sunday.
“We put some of the UGG boot stuff in his helmet, so he’s going to be warmer,” Ryan said, referring to the wool-lined footwear. “I’m not kidding. Look at his helmet. He’s got some of that in there. We try to make sure our guys are comfortable and healthy and protected.”
The Jets said several players will be doing the same Sunday, such as linebackers Bryan Thomas and Kenwin Cummings, defensive tackle Sione Pouha, long snapper James Dearth, kicker Jay Feely, punter Steve Weatherford and the other quarterbacks. Other players can request the stuffing on game day, as well.
“The equipment staff is doing everything they can to make me comfortable,” Sanchez said. “It’s really working and I appreciate their help.”
Ryan isn’t concerned about how Sanchez, from Southern California, will fare in the cold and potentially messy conditions.
“He’s got big hands, which I think you have to have in cold-weather games,” Ryan said. “In really bad-weather games, if it’s raining, you need the big hands to zip the ball. He can throw it, so he’ll be just fine.”
Notes: C Nick Mangold missed his second straight day of practice with an illness and is listed as questionable, but Ryan said he’s going to play Sunday. … OL Robert Turner (left knee) is out, while CB Dwight Lowery(notes) (high right ankle sprain) is probable after missing the last three games.
