Sole Survivor

This deal with the quirky Jets footbal coach, Rex Ryan, and his wife and feet and videotape is really different. It's not only different, it's icky. Now big, affable Rex got his team into the playoffs, but you know there must be some snide remarks quietly circulating in that locker room and amidst the Jets organization. I hear the locker room attendant has been sticking some extra Dr. Scholl's in the coach's locker as a gag. And this old story about coaches staying up all night to prepare by watching "football" films has taken on a whole new meaning.





You really don't expect this out of a guy like Rex who has been around these giant, tough football players his whole adult life. You can see someone like, John Clayton perhaps, from ESPN, hanging out at the foot of a bed with a camera on his shoulder - you know, sort of fits the exterior of the guy - but big Rex, wow, just doesn't seem to go with the rest of the package. As Vince Lombardi said in that memorable quote, "What the hell's going on out there?"




But if ol' Rex can get this thing in gear during the playoffs, perhaps the media will lighten up on him. Though he will have to get his team to play like there's no toe-morrow. (sorry -it was too easy). I know all the Jets fans are hoping heel get it done. (can't help myself)
