Getty ImagesOne of the most bizarre stories of the 2010 season came from the discovery of online foot-fetish photos and videos featuring the wife of Jets coach Rex Ryan. The coach who generally talks about anything and everything consistently slammed the door on this particular topic, calling it a personal matter until the media stopped asking about it.
It has since bubbled up once or twice, thanks to (for example) Patriots receiver Wes Welker, who was benched at the outset of the playoff game between the two teams after making a string of snarky remarks about the subject to the press.
Months later, at a time when the issue was otherwise dead, it has again been dusted off. This time, the offender was the man who once shared a womb with Rex.
Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan sounded off on the issue in the Cowboys’ locker room on Monday, according to Clarence E. Hill, Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
“Aw hell who cares,” Rob Ryan said of Rex, six days before the Cowboys and the Jets square off on NBC’s Sunday Night Football. “Believe me, everybody has whatever screwed up thing going on. I don’t care. I’m sure you do, and everybody else that points fingers. Who cares? Everybody has a life off the field. Who gives a crap? I’m sure I’m worse than he is. So big deal.”
As Hill astutely points out, Rob Ryan’s comments provide something that neither Rex nor the Jets had ever supplied: Confirmation.
“Naw, I mean hell, he is a little freaky I guess,” Rob Ryan said. “Hell, I don’t know. I like everything about my wife. She got great feet, too. She got everything nice. What the hell.”
Rob surely meant no harm; in a roundabout way, he was trying to help Rex. Still, it remains to be seen whether Rex will be upset with his twin brother — and, if he is, whether Rex will make that known to the media, or to anyone. (Or guess is that, when Rex is asked about his brother’s comments, Rex will say what he said last year. Nothing.)
At a time when the Ryans’ coaching abilities and bravado have largely overcome the perception that they are wired to say too much, Rob may have harmed his ability to become a head coach by committing the kind of indiscretion that could make it even harder for an owner to entrust Rob Ryan to be the face and voice of an NFL franchise. With that job comes access to all sorts of franchise secrets. If Rob doesn’t know when to say “no comment,” he may not be deemed worthy to hold the kind of position that Rex has achieved.

Wow, the Ryans just got even more disgusting.
Google image search terms that I never dreamed of typing, until now: “rob ryan wife.”
Come on Mike, the Ryans don’t say “no comment”, that’s what makes them the Ryans. I liked his comments.
He’s right no matter how much fun it is to poke fun at Rex.
I’m amazed how he’s able to stick his foot in his mouth over and over again
Oh boy..Here is the start of week long media coverage of 2 of the biggest mouths in the NFL I hope the game match the hype that is about to be forced on us.
Greatest headline of all time.
I would think that the number one thing preventing Rob Ryan from becoming a head coach is the fact that he’s not a good coach.
“She got great feet, too. She got everything nice.”
These Ryan brothers are some high powered intellects, huh.
I agree 100% with Rob: it’s Rex’s wife, they’re consenting adults, and the Jets franchise name, nor Rex’s name, was ever mingled with what he was posting. An investigative, Enquirer-trash type reporter had to put A+B+C together to figure this out. Other than the posters/haters on this site needing something to cling to, really…who cares?
I guess Robbys feet are suspect too
Good job guys. Riding the coattails of a gossip reporter.
You talk about Rob Ryan like he has head coach credentials. He is an average defensive coordinator at best. Rex Ryan had consistently great defenses, and as much as I hate him, he deserves to hold a head coaching job. Rob really hasn’t proven himself to be head coach material. Dallas has a good front 7… if Rob can’t get it done there, he’s probably not a head coaching candidate anywhere
what he said was “To all the media that is trying to make a story out of nothing, give it a rest, nobody cares” But somehow this will get turned into something else too
Wouldn’t people with a foot fetish be called PEDIfiles?
Tikis flabbergasted about this.
Damn. I was hoping Rob made fun of Rex… this isn’t very Ryan like
Rob Ryan provided confirmation? The video kept some people guessing? Wake up. He said nothing wrong, he simply chose NOT to hide behind “no comment”. If he turns that underachieving defense into a strength, he will get a head coaching job.
I think you read into rational comments a little too much, just a little. If an owner doesn’t hire Rob Ryan for an honest opinion into humanity who wants to work for that guy?
Amazing that these two Ryan brothers just can’t shut up. Perhaps Rob should have addressed the fact that nobody would’ve even known about this whole thing if that video hadn’t been put on the internet.
Nah, that would confuse him way too much.
Finally! Thanks!
Freaks!
WOW! What would we do without this vital information!
Now let’s go eat some God damned pizza!
Hahaha! I forgot about Welker throwing those jabs at Rex, that was hilarious!
Big deal the guys likes feet. Probably because he misses being able to see his.
Sounds like Rex just put his “foot” in his mouth as well!!
Wow, someone please hire this guy as head coach. Preferably the Bills or Dolphins so these two guys can go against each other twice a year. Think about the epic press conferences.

“This time, the offender was the man who once shared a womb with Rex.”
Just to be clear. Which “Mrs. Ryan” are we talking about here?
BWAHAHA, that is awesome. And sadly probably true.
Sick of hearing about Rex Ryan. And we’re going to destroy that blitz-happy Cowboys team now that you know that’s what Rob is into. They don’t have the secondary to blitz like that.
I really have tried hard to like the Ryans.
I’ve tried to find them interesting, compelling and fun. But it’s not going to happen.
One in every five people has a foot fetish.
AS IF CONFIRMATION WAS NEEDED.
So apparently Mike doesn’t think videos of Rex Ryan and his wife “provided confirmation.” Interesting. Mike must also not believe we dont have confirmation that man landed on the moon either. Rex didn’t have to “confirm” anything.
Never in the history of professional sports has a coach and an organization been more made for each other. Both are total laughing stocks.
Sighhh…
Can’t we just have some football already? (no pun intended)
Before I read the article, the only thing that came to mind based on the headline is that “this won’t be good.”
After reading the article, it’s harmless.
Rob really stepped on Rex’s toes here.
Worst non-football topic ever written about on PFT!
How the hell is that confirmation?
I have to laugh at all the High and Mighty that comment on here like they were Father O’Flanagan.
I am giving 80-1 that the majority commenting on here if their own private quirks got out there would be locked up in Prison. For History has shown it is always the High and Mighty that like to hold themselves up as Saints that end up being the most Perverted among us.
Hey maybe the Father O Flanagan line above was not the best to use.
“Can I smell ‘em?” – Rex Ryan
I got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING outta this story.
Not even a grin.
What a HUGE waste of internet bandwidth.
You’d be well advised to stick to football.
He didn’t actually confirm anything. He said “who cares” and “everybody has a life outside of football”. Had he said, “Who cares if my brother likes his wifes feet” that would be confirmation.
Rob Ryan really put his foot in his mouth.
*yawn*
People still care about this story? You can’t even make any new jokes about it.
Why is this important?
Why do peole care about this?
I guess the action ‘shut thy mouth’ was never enacted in the Ryan household. Never a dull moment. Buddy taught them well haha.
Unlike most of your followers I don’t interpret tis as confirmation of anything!
Good thing we got confirmation from Rob – cause I could NOT TELL with my own eyes and ears that the fat dude working the video camera was sexy Rex, LOL!!
Rex is awesome – puts out some toe-porn, AND takes BB behind the woodshed in his own building in the playoffs. He’s a modern day warrior, to steal a line from Rush – today’s Tom Sawyer.
Who cares. Let it go people. If you like this kind of stuff then you really not a football fan. Geez, you women.
Nothing gets me less excited for football than fat men talking about what turns them on. Please stop!!!
If Rob can win, nobody is going to care if he said a few things about his brother.
You can run a dog fighting ring, be tied to a stabbing, shoot yourself and serve prison time, be the head of a collegiate scandal, etc., and still be given everything on a silver platter in the NFL so long as you can be productive.

YOU’RE A FRAUD FLAGSTAFF. You bring the Patriots in to another conversation which they are far removed from. Seems to me you’re a scorned Jets fan upset that BB left to come to NE and created a modern day dynasty. Sorry the 3 rings he won are with the Patriots buddy! get over it!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Always trying to one up his brother, Rob has now put out a video of him eating cheetos, and funyuns outof his wifes toes. GO Ryans you guys Rock!
Absurd.

thought this was actually pretty good. false laughter from the next poster. he knows the pats are past it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I prefer to judge BB post-tape.
The foot thing wasn’t even the freaky part. It was the ad posted on another website with the same username and location that was looking for input in “all three holes” with the husband watching.
Thank god. I’m normal after all.
Well, since neither of them can see their own feet, it only follows…
Some people, like the writer of this story, need to get a life. I appreciate Rob Ryan’s openess. It’s refreshing. As a Vikings fan, no offense to the current chief, but should things go poorly I’d take Ryan as our head coach any day of the week. Today’s media thinks way too much of themselves.
Everybody has fantasies/fetishes. It’s normal. Next.
It’s funny how perception becomes reality…the media plays this story as a foot fetish story…and completely ignores the fact that Rex was posting on swingers sites looking for a 3rd party he could watch with his wife. For the life of me, I will never understand how that much more shocking & deviant part of the story got totally thrown aside…
All that said, I’m much more interested in the fact that Rex keeps insisting that he can resurrect any career (e.g., Vernon Gholston & Aaron Maybin) only to discover he’s not nearly as good as his big mouth says he is! If making loud making proclomations of greatness that go unfulfilled is a sin, then he’ll have plenty to answer for in the after-life on that count alone!!!
Every guy is into something …women too trust me.
But..is clowns like flagstaff that we all need to worry about…sick degenerates that make Rexy’s foot fetish look like vanilla ice cream.
flagstaff enjoys the tour around the world..no mammal safe.
At least their not into felching.
Appreciate the somewhat tortured justification in the last paragraph for keeping this story alive, but the ongoing obsession with the topic is making me wonder if the PFT editors might be sneaking away after hours themselves to fondle supple ankles in the infamous NYC foot-fetish dens down by the meat-packing district.
No, Rob. Pimping your wife out to strangers on an Internet alt/fetish site and saying you “want to see her take it in all three holes” is not just everyday kink. It’s disturbed.
I have posted this before.
If the worst thing about Rex Ryan is a foot fetish … with his WIFE …. he should be nominated for sainthood.
It appears that everyone forgot this wasn’t just about a foot fetish; Ryan had posted a pesonal ad looking for someone to gangbang his wife, dominating and”fisting” her.
Nice guy,to be sure.
sometimes i like sleeping with my head down by my wife’s feet under the covers ……so what?
Flagstaff prefers the whole foot instead of the fist.
“Who gives a crap? I’m sure I’m worse than he is. So big deal.”
The foot thing is irrelevant. Now I must know what sort of freakshow Rob is.
confirmation? were some still questioning whether or not that was actually Rex and Mrs. Ryan?
Rob is right. A foot fettish may be odd and a huge turn-off to 99% of the world (it’s definitely not my thing) but we all fall into the 1% for something somewhere.
Now where did I set those handcuffs…
Why is it that anytime one of these 2 idiots say anything all I can think of is frat parties.
What does this have to do with football? Why are you all so interested in what Rex and his wife do as two consenting adults? Your obsession with that is the disturbing part in this. That, and the grade school foot jokes that stopped being funny 48 hours after the story broke.
