FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Rex Ryan still pictures himself raising the Lombardi Trophy as a Super Bowl champion.Whether he gets another opportunity to try to deliver that title with the New York Jets remains to be seen.While owner Woody Johnson hasnt made his intentions public, theres a strong chance Ryan and perhaps general manager John Idzik could be fired after the season finale against the Dolphins in Miami on Sunday. That possibility has done nothing to chip away at Ryans confidence.I was given some gifts and obviously a lot less in other areas, but I can coach football and I know that, Ryan said Tuesday. But, its more based on the people that Im around and the people that I know. I think that gives me the belief that one day, Im going to win that thing. Thats how I feel.Ryan said that from the moment he was hired as the Jets coach in 2009, and he nearly lived up to that bold declaration right away by taking his team to consecutive AFC title games in his first two seasons.It has been downhill since, though, as the Jets have missed the playoffs for four straight years with a 3-12 season that has some speculating that Johnson could clean house.I dont look at myself as a three-win coach, Ryan said. I know Im better than that, yet this is where were at right now.Ryans news conference was vintage Rex, with the coach reflective at times, funny and emotional at others. And, it included a touch of those brash statements that have made for good headlines throughout his six seasons with the Jets. He was voted the winner of the media good guy award, an honour usually limited to players. But an exception was made this year for Ryan, who has always provided good fodder for reporters notebooks.Such as this gem, when asked if he thinks that Super Bowl victory will come for him in New York.Hey, I cant look past Sunday, Ryan said. I think Ill win Sunday. Thats how I think. But eventually, when it is, I just see myself winning it as a head coach. I definitely see it. If that happens, I guess well find out down the road.Under Ryan, the Jets havent had a record above .500 since they were 11-5 during the 2010 season, when they fell just short of a Super Bowl appearance with a loss at Pittsburgh. Those days seem like ages ago, when Mark Sanchez, Darrelle Revis, LaDainian Tomlinson, Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes helped turn the Jets into the one of the best — and most-talked about — teams in the NFL.These last couple seasons have been pretty tough, theres no doubt, Ryan said. So, Id say this ones probably a dog-year season. Weve only got three wins. At the same time, it feels like yesterday. So its like, man, Im still here with my guys and I enjoy coming to work. Like, every day Im excited about presenting a game plan and doing different things and watching players grow. So, that part of it has been great.The players, nearly to a man, have publicly shown their support for Ryan during the last few weeks, with some such as DBrickashaw Ferguson and Sheldon Richardson insisting that wholesale changes arent necessary. Ryan says hearing that from his players feels great, even if they might not have any say in the final outcome.Just got to prepare, Richardson said. Prepare for the worst.For many of the players, that means seeing Ryan leave, along with his coaching staff. Richardson credits defensive line coach Karl Dunbar for helping him develop in the player who won Defensive Rookie of the Year last season, and was selected as the teams MVP this season by his teammates.It would just be starting over again, Richardson said. Thats what it is, a fresh start for everybody. But who wants that? Its a weird situation, man. These are peoples jobs and livelihoods were talking about. Were talking about just removing them. Its tough. This is a sticky situation.Ryan is also uncertain as to whether hell get the opportunity after Sundays game to sit with Johnson and convey his desire to stay and try to bring that coveted Super Bowl to the Jets.Well see what happens, Ryan said. I know its a broken record, but its really just about the job that I have right in front of me. I want to be great, I want our team to be great. I want our team to be focused and myself to be focused on the job at hand, and thats what I plan on doing.Whatever happens after that will happen after that.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Air Max 95 2019 Scontate .

HOUSTON -- Six-time All-Star Lance Berkman is retiring after 15 seasons in the major leagues. Berkman almost left the game last off-season before signing with the Texas Rangers. He then had another injury-plagued season and was limited to 73 games. The 37-year-old Berkman was Houstons first-round draft pick in 1997 out of Rice, and played 12 seasons for the Astros. He played 1,879 career games, all but 287 for Houston, finishing a .293 career hitter with 366 home runs and 1,234 RBIs. "Lance was one of the greatest players in Astros history," his original team said in a release Wednesday night. The Astros said they hope to honour Berkman during the upcoming season and "give the fans the chance to recognize his outstanding career." He finished the 2010 season with the New York Yankees before two years in St. Louis, where he was part of the 2011 World Series champions. "Just physically Ive gotten to the point where I dont feel like I can compete at a level that Im used to competing at," Berkman told KRIV-TV of Houston.dddddddddddd "I could probably still drag my carcass out there, but Im not interested in doing that. ... I dont want to hang on just to hang on." Berkman said he was excited about retiring. The Rangers declined their $12 million contract option for 2014 last October, which got Berkman a $1 million buyout. He hit .242 with six homers and 34 RBIs for the Rangers. He went on the disabled list July 7 with a left inflammation and a sore right knee, and played only five games after coming back the final month of the season. The six-time All-Star played only 32 games for St. Louis in 2012, when he dealt with a strained left calf and had two operations on his right knee. He hit .301 in 2011 for the Cardinals, who won the World Series that season over Texas. Berkman had said last winter that he had gone into that off-season feeling like he was going to retire then. But he responded to the Rangers, and made $10 million last season. ' ' '
