And the NYP does not disappoint:

When Ryan is at his next job a year or two from now it will be quite the adjustment to be able to go on vacation without being stalked by reporters and not have every move he makes chronicled by the local paper...

Mizzou, I think there's a line that journalists shouldn't cross. I recall being out for drinks with friends and several athletes from the team I was covering were in the same place. I could see the look in their face that they were uncomfortable. I walked over to their table, said 'Hello' purchased a round of drinks and told them to have a good night. I also told them keep out the police blotter. They laughed and before leaving purchased a round for my table. It was classy but point was made. Their down time was my down time.
 
The epilogue: the starting lineup was suspended for having too high a BAC at a road block.
 
When I was covering colleges, I would run into players who I knew weren't 21 at the bars pretty regularly. I remember telling a couple of them, "Unless you get arrested or suspended, it's not my business..."

I don't believe this for a second. I don't believe the athletes would ever hit the town without taking their guy Drip along for the fun.

@21 no.

Why is this news 8 days after the fact? Well, everything is news with the Jets, but I certainly didn't bother to run it in my paper.
 
Ryan ran a red light. I hate those people. Of all traffic violations, in my opinion, that shows the least regard for other human beings.
At best, you're in effect telling everyone in the intersection whose light has turned green that your time is more valuable than theirs.
At worst, you have a reckless disregard for other people's lives.
I'd rather the cops set up at major intersections and write red-light running tickets instead of radar traps.

Asschair can you explain to the board why you are so interested in me? I mean this is getting scary enough that I may bring the mods in. I'm very serious about that.
