Considering how the team allows its fans to behave, this is hardly a surprise.

Reporter was Ines Sainz.

You should give her a google.

And that makes it ok?

From the NY Post report it sound like light hearted fun:

Ines Sainz of Mexico's TV Azteca, a shapely former Miss Universe contestant in town to interview Mark Sanchez , created quite a stir during practice yesterday.

Prodded by his players, defensive backs coach Dennis Thurman purposely overthrew passes to them in interception drills so that the footballs would land next to Sainz on the sidelines.

Realizing what they were doing, Taylor volunteered to come over and join the drills even though he is a linebacker and not a defensive back.

Rex Ryan then joined in the fun, having Thurman run a sideline pattern and also intentionally overthrowing in Sainz's direction.

In the spirit of TWNWOP:

This is the frat house atmosphere Rex has created.

In fairness isn't every NFL locker room a frat house?

I still haven't figured out how this is any different from any of the last 5 Super Bowl media days that Inez has attended.

Holy shiite. They should be shot.

Was it last year when she was measuring biceps at Super Bowl?

So you're saying she asked for it?

But she had to measure twice as many to get half the credit as a male journalist.

If I saw the picture by itself, I would have thought Tiger Woods was involved in the story, for some reason.

 

[farmerjerome]

I love football players.

Last year I interviewed an out of area running back while his buddies kept yelling "get some".

Not as dramatic as this, and a few nasty looks got them to stop.

I never said that. I merely figured many of the readers of this board would want to see her.

Methinks you infer too much.

Be interesting to see how the chivalrous Jet beat reporters handle this story tomorrow.

 

[LongTimeListener]

Terrell Owens knows this reporter quite well.



The way she has comported herself throughout her career could easily lead players to think she was OK with the jokes and the attention.

As most women in sports will tell you, you don't have to have Ms Sainz's looks/pants/comportment to find yourself in the frat house. It's not comfortable or professional, but it's fact. As FarmerJ said, usually a dirty look or a quick change of location will handle the situation.

Not condoning what happened here, and maybe I don't understand the whole story, but.....shrug. Sorry.

 

[MagillaGorilla]

Sometimes, you just gotta know better. Even if you think a reporter is one of the "cool" chicks that likes the attention or get the joke, you still gotta know better.

I think we've all had to sit through enough sexual harassment seminars to know that even if something seems harmless, it may not be.
