08:18 AM ET 10.09 | Rex Ryan on a treadmill is a fixture at the Jets' practice facility in Florham Park as he continues his battle with the bulge. Ryan said yesterday that he has lost 70 pounds since undergoing lap-band surgery during the offseason. Ryan's diet might seem to have little to do with whether or not the Jets beat Brett Favre and the Vikings Monday night at New Meadowlands Stadium. But the message it sends isn't all about Ryan.

The haters will be out of the wookwork on this one

I'm sure they will...

Bottom line is - so far... so good.

I think it's great that he's taking his health seriously. Too many coaches forget about that. However, I just have to feel damn sorry for that treadmill. Yikes!

You gotta admit he does look good and ready for a bucket of chicken

I was actually referring to the team... but I'll bet a drumstick would be mighty tasty.

Allright........that joke is acceptable......:)

After all the drubbing I took for Charlie Weis. . .

But I have to admit, I like Ryan. I think the Jets are lucky to have him.

Im interested to see who plays moss on Monday......cromartie or revis. I'm a little concerned about revis' hammy on the deep routes

If there were the least bit of a question... I'd start Cromartie. You don't need a chronically-injured Revis struggling.

Unless it's one of those injuries that isn't going to get better until after the season, I would get him healthy - first and foremost.

This one, I'll let pass just to prove you wrong.

Certainly can't joke about how the Jets are playing. Fat jokes are the only thing left.

Lol...understandable .....if they are in good taste or original....I can't complain

What, no planetary orbits, etc. I think it's great that Rex is losing weight. Never liked his daddy, but Rex is growing on me (sorry, bad pun).

Shouldn't the desire to win motivate the team more than Rex's weight loss?

Kim Kardashian is moving to New York, according to the celebrity gossip that passes for news these days. Rex is just getting in shape. Unless she's really into musicals, he's already got the inside track on Sanchez.

I think I did read somewhere not that long ago that a planet was recently discovered either in or around the Milky Way, scientists couldn't think of a name for the new planet, so Rex submitted his for consideration.

I also love how this turns into a pseudo Favre thread.

Why New York? Why not Ennis, TX?
