\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Rex Ryan, the coach of the New York Jets — (interruption) No, not out yet. The media\u2019s trying. The media\u2019s trying to get Rex fired. There\u2019s no question about it. They love Rex one day. They hate him today. But Friday and Saturday in the NFL were important days. By Saturday at six p.m., every NFL team had to get their roster down to 53 players. In many cases, teams had to cut as many as 20 players by six p.m. Saturday. <\/p>\n

Well, old Rex left town on Saturday. Rex has a son named Seth who\u2019s a walk-on freshman at Clemson. And old Rex, he hung around for the decision-making process on Friday night as the Jets decided which players on their roster they were gonna cut, and then Saturday he hightailed it down to Clemson, South Carolina, to watch his son play, although his son didn\u2019t play. The son didn\u2019t play, he\u2019s a walk-on freshman. Meaning, he doesn\u2019t have a scholarship. He walked on, made the team. <\/p>\n

The media is beside itself! The media is demanding that Rex Ryan defend himself taking time off to attend the Clemson game where his son might have played. I read this and I said, “Now, wait a second. If Rex\u2019s wife were giving birth and Rex punted and went to the hospital, they\u2019d be praising Rex. Family values and all that.” I mean, in the NFL, if you\u2019re a player, if you\u2019re a coach, and your wife is having a baby, you better get the hell to the hospital or they\u2019re gonna destroy you. If it means missing a game on Sunday, you better get to the hospital for the birth. If it means missing a practice, you better get to the hospital. Right? That\u2019s where we are. Your wife has a baby. You\u2019re in the NFL. You go to the hospital and you be there for the birth. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay. So Rex says that he got together with the other trust of the Jets. They made their roster decisions Friday night. Rex hightailed it down to see his son. Family values. Why is that bad? Why is that not allowed? They\u2019re saying that Rex obviously doesn\u2019t care. They\u2019re saying that Rex obviously doesn\u2019t run the team anymore. They\u2019re saying that Rex obviously doesn\u2019t care, doesn\u2019t run the team. He\u2019s a lame duck. He didn\u2019t even care enough to hang around on roster cut day. Rex says (paraphrasing), “I was here. We made the decisions on Friday night,” and the media, “Yeah, but Rex, you weren\u2019t around on Saturday to tell the players they\u2019d been cut. Coaches always do that.” And Rex said, “No, sometimes the general manager does it.” Which is true, but anyway, not a big deal. But to me it\u2019s a little bit of hypocrisy. <\/p>\n

Now, let me ask this. Let\u2019s say Rex\u2019s daughter was on the Clemson field hockey team, and Rex had left the Jets on Saturday to go watch his daughter, would they be okay with it? No, no. I\u2019m asking this seriously. My staff is laughing on the other side of the glass here. Well, no, no, no. Look, I don\u2019t know Rex Ryan. I have no brief for Rex Ryan. He may as well be Bashar Assad as far as I\u2019m concerned. It\u2019s not the point. My point is, an NFL person leaves the team to be there when his baby is born, and they orgasm. It\u2019s wonderful. It\u2019s so great. It\u2019s the greatest thing. It\u2019s real family values. I always thought staying and earning a paycheck and providing for the family was the family value contribution of the man, but, you know, that\u2019s 1700s kind of stuff, apparently. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference in Rex? It\u2019s cut-down Saturday. There\u2019s not even a practice. There\u2019s not even a game. So Rex goes to see his son, and the media is making a big, “Well, his son wasn\u2019t even gonna play.” Oh, I left something out. Rex tailgated. Rex put on a Clemson T-shirt and was tailgating with fans. He was partying, in other words. Rex was partying while 20 players on his roster were having their lives ruined. He was partying with his son. Well, his son was in the locker room. But he was partying with fans in a tailgate while 20 of his players are being cut, maybe never, ever again to earn money in the NFL. What a heartless, cold SOB Rex Ryan is. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t understand the difference. Would somebody explain to me the difference? Who gave these 20 guys their shot? Well, Rex was part of the decision that gave \u2019em their shot, yeah. I don\u2019t understand the complaint, either. There\u2019s not a woman involved here, so maybe that\u2019s the answer. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s supposed… It\u2019s cut down-day when you make that final cut. Maybe I didn\u2019t make this clear. The final cut is a big decision. You pare the roster down, \u2019cause most teams are cutting 15 to 20 players. But it\u2019s not like the first or second cut-down day where you go from 90 to 85 or 90 to 80. This is the final roster. This is where you\u2019re telling twenty guys or 15 guys, “Sayonara.”<\/p>\n

And it is said by people in the media that for pro personnel management people in the corporate structure of an NFL team, next to the draft, this is the biggest day of the year, and Rex wasn\u2019t there. Rex punted to go down and tailgate at a college football game. But he didn\u2019t. He went down there to see his son\u2019s first game in uniform for Clemson. He\u2019s a walk-on freshman. He didn\u2019t play. <\/p>\n

The odds were that he wasn\u2019t gonna play. But how often do we hear, “You know, parents just don\u2019t have time for their kids anymore. They don\u2019t go to their Little League games. They don\u2019t go to the soccer game because they\u2019re just too busy”? Remember the soccer mom phenomenon? Mom picked up the slack \u2019cause dad was a reprobate predator. Dad didn\u2019t have time for his kids.<\/p>\n

Dad was just getting drunk or whatever. He was hitting on other women while poor mom was picking up all the kids and taking \u2019em to soccer practice after picking \u2019em up after school, after fixing \u2019em lunch and breakfast. And after doing this, and after getting \u2019em their condoms and their cigarettes for sex that night, then she took \u2019em to the soccer game.<\/p>\n

And dad\u2019s out doing whatever he\u2019s doing with the guys. So here\u2019s Rex, doing his family values thing, getting creamed for it in the New York media. If you can get praised for leaving the team to go to the hospital while your wife is giving birth, why do you get savaged for leaving the team to go watch your son play his first college football game? He didn\u2019t play, but you never know. He might have.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, let me add something else to this Rex Ryan. Apparently it\u2019s okay for Obama to go play Spades with Reggie Love while we\u2019re taking out bin Laden. Oh, yeah! Anything he needs to do to keep his mind sharp. It\u2019s a lot of stress being president. Obama can go play golf any time. He can say, “To hell with the red line! I\u2019m gonna make sure that the Congress authorizes the use of force to take out Assad,” and then he goes and plays golf. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

“Anything he can do, Mr. Limbaugh, to take the pressure of the job off of his mind so that his mind stays sharp, that\u2019s just fine with us.” Right. So the president can play Spades, can go play golf, can do whatever he wants to do. But Rex Ryan goes down to Clemson on cut-down day? “He ought to be fired, \u2019cause he doesn\u2019t care, \u2019cause he\u2019s a lame duck. He\u2019s not running the show and this proves it.” I guess Rex isn\u2019t allowed to be a father on cut-down day. <\/p>\n

He could be a father if his wife were giving birth, but you can\u2019t be a father on cut-down day. You know, if I were the media, I\u2019d be thinking it\u2019s time to applaud Rex. There are 20 players he just saved from Alzheimer\u2019s, ALS, concussions, and life-altering injuries, which is what they say the NFL\u2019s about now. So here\u2019s 20 guys saved, \u2019cause Rex Ryan was involved in the process of cutting \u2019em. <\/p>\n

Here are 20 guys who will not get concussions, who will not get ALS, who will not get Parkinson\u2019s, who won\u2019t become demented, and who will live after the age of 44. Well, I\u2019m sorry, but that\u2019s what they say the NFL does to people now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
