Dolphins have true character while Jets are full of characters
This is the best article I have read so far about the BS that continues to come out of the Jets locker room and office of the Richard-head coach.
And you know what the BEST part of this article is? It does NOT come from a local Dolphins beat writer. Oh no! This comes from a newpaper in the Northeast!
Here are a few of my favorite quotes, and the link so you can read it yourself. It really gave me another level of personal satisfaction to know that and awful lot of other people around the country recognize the real lack of character and integrity that this pitiful team and it's coach have.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. The Miami Dolphins are a team with character. The New York Jets are a bunch of jerks.
That, as much as Sunday's 30-25 final at the Meadowlands, is the difference between the bitter AFC East rivals.
The Dolphins overcame an internal earthquake that shook the lineup and an external avalanche of criticism that threatened to shake their confidence. The Jets talked smack and got smacked.
The Dolphins went to a bully's house and didn't back down. The Jets tried to bully the Dolphins and got a black eye for their trouble.
The Dolphins and Jets. Night and day.
Through adversity and despite their own flaws, the Dolphins responded in this game the way teams with resilience are supposed to respond by winning and claiming their second victory in as many games against the Jets.
The Jets?
They are a beaten, battered bunch that has lost four of five games but still, inexplicably, don't know when to shut up.
"We outplayed them but got beat," Rex Ryan bloviated. "You have to give their kickoff return guy credit. It's almost 4-to-1 in yardage, but I'd rather be in their locker room with a win than here, even though I'd rather be in this one moving forward. We have a better record right now, so I'll take this locker room."
Go for it, Rex. Have your locker room filled with big talk and so little in the form of results. Have your locker room that drips sarcasm when a little humility is more appropriate.
The Dolphins take this victory because they found a way to win when there seemingly was no way. On a day the offense was ineffective the Dolphins were outgained by the Jets 378 to 104 Miami still scored 30 points.
The Dolphins got 14 of those points on Ted Ginn Jr. kick return touchdowns. And those touchdowns were a statement about Ginn's character.
Ginn, you see, was benched by coach Tony Sparano last week. He was publicly criticized for playing poorly against New Orleans. He could have retreated.
But Ginn responded with that 100-yard return and then that 101-yard return. Note to the coaching staff: Let him return punts, too!
Ginn wasn't the only embattled Miami player last week. Free safety Gibril Wilson was similarly relieved of his starting job, and rookie Chris Clemons shared snaps with the veteran most of the game.
Wilson responded with two sacks of New York quarterback Mark Sanchez.
Resilience. Character.
"Some people rise up," Sparano said, "some people don't."

sparano day after interview was pretty classy
when asked about the jets, he just said we’re 3-0 and that was all. prolly the best thing he couldve said.. teams attitude starts with their coaches, bc they set the stage. sparano has done that very well in miami
