Earlier this week, the Post revealed that Jets coach Rex Ryan broke down in tears when addressing his 4-5 team on Monday morning. To say the least, some of the players were shocked, with Darrell Revis saying, "I was a little upset to see him that way. I'm upset for the same reasons he's upset." Ryan said, "I'm just being myself and sometimes that happens. Very rarely, but it happens," but some New Yorkers want the 340-pound coach to keep his emotions to himself—or at least at home. One told the Daily News, "You can't be crying like that. He should go home and cry on his wife's shoulder, not in the locker room. This is New York."
