Anyone watching?

Or is most the board boycotting because of the QB?

Good first episode. Rex Ryan is ****ing hilarious.

Matt Cassel has competition when it comes to hitting the crossbar.

John Connor, rookie FB from Kentucky is laying the ****ing wood.

Joe Willie still looks/sounds drunk.

Bart Scott is a BAMF.

Should be a fun season to watch.

Rex apologizes for cursing during 'Hard Knocks'

CORTLAND -- Rex Ryan's mother has already scolded him. A little soap might be next for the Jets' foul-mouthed coach.

After a Rex-pletive-filled appearance in the premiere episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks" on Wednesday night, Ryan got a call from Mom. And, then, like a good son, he said he was sorry.

"Sometimes you get rolling and that's what happens," Ryan said Thursday. "I don't know why. I apologize if I offended more people than I usually offend."

Swearing is nothing new for NFL coaches - or coaches in other sports, for that matter. It's just rare for fans to hear it on national TV. "Hard Knocks" is an uncensored look at the Jets through training camp.

"You don't even realize you're saying it," said Ryan, whose father, Buddy, was known to toss around a choice word or two during his NFL coaching career.

"My Mom's the only one really disappointed that I care about."

It didn't bother any of the players, who said that's just who Ryan is.

"Skip the F-bombs and everything else," defensive lineman Sione Pouha said. "You can really feel that this guy is passionate about what he does and is passionate about his players."

The curses aside, some viewers may have been more offended by some explicit scenes in the HBO vampire series "True Blood," which aired just before "Hard Knocks."

"Can't blame that one on me," Ryan said, laughing.

The first episode of the five-part "Hard Knocks" series touched on several topics, including star cornerback Darrelle Revis' holdout, the team's newest stars, players trying to hook on and playful banter between the coaches and the players.

"I watched it in my dorm room," Pouha said. "Had a couple of brownies - that's probably a $5 fine - but watched it in the room and the encore as well. It was quite entertaining."

Veteran pass rusher Jason Taylor, one of the newest Jets, was one of a handful of players who didn't watch.

"We're living it," he said. "We go through training camp all day. The last thing you want to do is watch training camp on TV."

One of the more entertaining scenes included Ryan going up against general manager Mike Tannenbaum in a punt-pass-kick competition. Tannenbaum went head-over-heels while unsuccessfully trying to field a punt.

"There's some people who probably watched it over and over," a smiling Ryan said - likely referring to Revis' agents.

"I don't know if people get used to seeing coaches and the GM having fun," linebacker Bart Scott said. "You're not used to seeing fun. So, we like to have fun. I think (people) get a greater appreciation of how we go about our business."

Dude, the guy took a shit team and re-made it in one year. He took a rookie QB that had only started 16 games in college and made him the starter from day one.

The team had its ups and downs last year but hit a stride late in the year and rode it all the way to the AFC Championship game. If Brian Schottemheimer wouldn't have shit his pants in the second half, the Jets would have been in the Super Bowl.

Barring injuries, the Jets will be a VERY good team in 2010 and in years to come. They're drafting well and blending veterans with young players nicely.

The last thing I'd call Rex Ryan is a buffoon. Those words are reserved for guys like Gunther and Herm.

In one scene, Ryan says he spent hours negotiating with Revis agents: "Frustrating ... I almost quit."

You're silly ... Ryan' a good guy.

Hell of a coach, so far.

a shit team? lol Dane. the Jets had the same record the year before under Mangini. Sanchez had a rocky middle of the season. but they played defense and ran the ball.

I just hate all the shit talking. maybe im old school. I never said he was a bad coach. he did a great job with the defense last year. His big ****ing mouth is embarrassing. he should talk less and eat more. its all fun now, but when he said ''the season's over'' when they were 7-7 last year he wasnt smiling or kidding around at all.

He's the best cornerback in the game and he wants to be paid like it. Just be happy that Rex Ryan is a player's coach and not a dickhead like Tom Coughlin because I guarantee, it'll make the negotiations a lot less contentious.

Hey, hey, hey, now ...That "dickhead" helped the Giants win their third Super Bowl.

Sorry Dude, this is just plain silly.

Rex Ryan has been an excellent position coach and defensive coordinator and I have no reason to believe he won't be an excellent head coach.

As long as his defense is in the Top Five and his offense ascending, he can talk "shit" all he wants.

I totally agree. QFT

I only caught the tail end of this week... but it was great when the Jets coaches were asking who #3 was for the Giants when he stepped on the field.

I like the guy, but he reminds me alot of his Dad from the late 80's and early 90's with the Eagles. Hopefully his offense will be better than his Dads teams. Alot depends on Sanchez's development.

I enjoyed Bart Scott's line about Joe McKnight and USC, "He's just mad he has to take a paycut!"
