We’ll spare you the easy fat joke that we set ourselves up for with that headline, and instead just say that the best part of Rex Ryan’s middle-finger non-controversy is that it pretty much stayed a non-controversy. At most, it reached the level of late-night-comedy fodder, which is exactly what should have happened. (David Letterman’s No. 1 Reason Your Film Wasn’t Nominated for an Academy Award? “Jets coach Rex Ryan saw film, gave it the finger.”) But just as Ryan flipping off a hostile Miami crowd doesn’t surprise us, neither does the fact that the Jets slapped his wrist and fined him $50,000. Thus ends this particular Rex Ryan incident. We can’t wait for the next one. [NYP]
