Rex Ryan fired the first salvo at the Giants this week, declaring the Jets are New York’s best football team.

September 10th, 2011 afcbeast Charlie Johnson’s arrival in Minnesota was as disorienting as it was disconcerting.

September 8th, 2011 afcbeast Adam, You’re adorable. I can see you getting all red in the face and can hear you screaming about Rex Grossman’s resume all the way from here.
