“I’m Irish. So what do you want?. “It’s hurtful. I’m extremely prideful. I want to be the best. I want to win. Sometimes it comes out like that.”
Ryan has lots to cry about. After leading his team to two successive conference finals the Jets bombed this year, riven by personal feuds and non performing stars

nothing wrong with showing emotion,[not to much for a man]as for saying he,s not irish?if his parents ,were his grandparents were,he is,if its a feeling for the old country,he is,to be irish and sneer at a fellow irish man and call him a plastic paddy just because his parents or grand parents were forced to emigrate douse not make him less irish,in some cases he is more irish,with a greater knowledge of his countries history,music,tradition,language than some who were born there.who incidently can show an astonishing ignorance of their own country despite having the advantage of being born there..

I wonder how long it will take the Irish (the real ones, the ones from Ireland) to criticize another Irish-American for saying he is "Irish". It is an American cultural thing that obviously doesn't translate well over there, i.e., an Italian-American is "Italian", etc. WE'RE NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN SO LITERALLY so stop flattering yourselves! Bob40: "Cryin Ryan" ... I like that! Go Giants.
