Let's talk about Rex -- oh, wait, he's doing that for us

Judge: Jets' Ryan having a ball

The only thing Rex Ryan, king of the offseason, hasn't done in the opening days of his mouthy tenure as coach of the New York Jets is make a rap video.

Someone please remind me but, what has Ocho Rexo won exactly as a head coach?

Waiting ... waiting.

Ah, yes, nothing.

Typical Jets: patting themselves on the back even before the season begins. The New York Jets -- kings of June wind sprints.

Not certain about the rest of you, but I would love to see an organization with the sort of losing and embarrassing history of the Jets, oh, you know, win before the head coach starts beating his chest and running his mouth like he's Big Pussy from The Sopranos.

Remember these are the Jets. It was this team that made one of the worst acquisitions in recent history with Brett "The Vikings love me/they love me not" Favre. The last time the Jets won a Super Bowl, Nixon had just been elected president. That's fitting, seeing as Nixon was a trash talker, too.

Not only is Ryan speaking a little too much, his father is as well. Buddy Ryan, who was the best defensive mind football has ever seen, tended to run his mouth a bit despite the fact that as a head coach he didn't win anything. In Philadelphia, Buddy never reached a Super Bowl despite having a greatly talented team. In Arizona, Ryan went 12-20.

The little mouth, apparently, doesn't fall far from the big mouth. When Buddy took over the Eagles he boldly declared they would win the NFC East. Now, not only is his son making crazy statements and wildly bold predictions, the father continues to do so. "I think you can near guarantee yourself a Super Bowl if they stay healthy," Buddy said this week of the Jets.

Oh, boy.

• Bleacher Report: Shut up and coach, Rex

Ocho Rexo sounds just as silly as pops. He's the guy with a larynx larger than his biceps who has had a few too many beers taking on the biggest, meanest guy in the bar. Challenging New England the way he has without a win under his belt puts Ocho Rexo in the same category as Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco. Rex has failed to also show the current division champions, the Miami Dolphins, a modicum of respect.

Ryan is actually part of a growing number of head coaches who are doing more belching and flexing than they are winning. Rick Neuheisel, coach of the perennial football runner-up UCLA Bruins, has picked a fight with Pete Carroll, winner of multiple titles at Southern California.

UCLA, with Neuheisel's backing, took out a full-page newspaper advertisement in August 2008 that said: "The football monopoly in Los Angeles is officially over." Neuheisel then promptly went 4-8 and that aforementioned monopoly is still wholly intact.

You shouldn't blab about monopulus interruptus when you're UCLA football.

While Urban Meyer is a pompous donkey, he has at least won championships as a head coach to justify that arrogance. The same can't be said about Lane Kiffin, who has basically called Meyer a cheater, insulted entire towns and allegedly told a recruit he would be pumping gas if he didn't sign with Kiffin's Tennessee Volunteers.

Kiffin wants to build the Volunteers into USC East, but while Carroll has occasionally unleashed a little smack, for the most part he lets his championships do the talking.

Much of the time, big mouths eventually prove they aren't ready for the Klieg lights of big-time sports. It's not a rule, but it's generally true.

It's an interesting phenomenon watching all of this unfold. Normally, when big-mouth asses like Owens and Ochocinco run their yaps and engage in verbal histrionics, fans and media blast away. Ocho Rexo unleashes unjustified verbal gusto and he's hailed by football fans as a sort of hero. It's a ridiculous double standard for players and coaches.

Yet here we are. This season, after the Jets win five games and Mark Sanchez is a bloodied mess, Ryan's faux bravado and words will haunt him.

"Ryan ... might want to turn it down a notch or two now that he's head coach," wrote Dave Hutchinson of the Newark Star-Ledger. "He could be writing a big, fat check that him and his players will have to cash this season."

It's best to only talk trash after you win, not before, Ocho Rexo.

Ryan said he didn't join the Jets to kiss Bill Belichick's rings. Maybe not, but if he keeps talking like this, the Jets coach will be kissing some other part of Belichick.

So congratulations are in order for the strutting Ryan. He's the Champion of June.

Is there a trophy for that?
