The firing first was reported by WTHR-TV in Indianapolis.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. The information contained in the AP News r |

Jets coach Rex Ryan has caused a ruckus each of the past two weeks, singling out a ``personal'' rivalry against the opposition. First, it was the Indianapolis Colts. Next, it was the Patriots. Along the way, his players have joined in. Cornerback Antonio Cromartie even used an expletive to describe Patriots quarterback Tom Brady last week. But the Steelers maintain they won't be dragged into it. ``We don' |

The New York Jets head coach initially used the word "personal" when describing a matchup with Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning in the AFC Wild Card round, which was won by the Jets, 17-16, this past Saturday courtesy of a last-second field goal by kicker Nick Folk. It was the first time a Ryan-coached defense had beaten Manning and his Colts in a meaningful game, dating back to Ryan's time as defensive coordinator wi |
