Rex Ryan: This Dessert is About Me Against This Slice of Pie

NEW YORK -- At the conclusion of his lunch at a popular midtown Manhattan deli on Monday, Rex Ryan told reporters he would indeed be able to finish the meal -- but that his consumption and ensuing digestion of a decadent slice of pecan pie was downright personal. "This dessert is about me finishing the pie," Ryan said between gulps. "It's personal. Last time I came here, I wasn't able to finish the pie. Now I feel like if I don't finish it, it'll have beaten me again." Ryan subsequently finished the slice of pie and left the deli, but not before shaking hands with the owner and assuring that he'd be back to continue a personal battle with the Reuben.
