Real, fake, whatever the one thing that is indisputable...it was unprofessional. Can you name one other credible NFL head coach who would do something similar? Rex is well aware of the circus label hung on the organization, does this "joke" do anything to alter that widely held perception?

If your quoted post was intended as sarcasm...nevermind.
Since there are only about 5 credible head coaches in the NFL with any long term success and we aren't getting one of them the incredible is an option I'm not willing to throw out.

I dont want to get into any kind of war with you Borgo because I truly like you as a poster.

But is this really unprofessional on Rex's part or the people following him? He does have a personal life right?
I think this whole thing is nonsense.

Woody is embarrassed and humiliated enough by this coach, making him look bad to the country club set. I cannot fathom what is going through his mind this morning as he is trying to conduct a professional search to find a replacement general manager for the one that this idiot got fired.

Both, but we don't root for the NYDN.

I doubt the media took that pic. I assume a random tourist/sports fan took the picture and sold it to the Daily News. Happes all the time.

How do you know Woody isn't a little bit Kinky? He may well be enjoying this.

If the tattoo is real, it again is a horrific example of decision-making. A public figure again doing something that he shouldn't.

If the tattoo is fake, it again is a horrific example of decision-making. Combined with an inappropriate theme and a horrible sense of timing.

Looks like Fireman Ed isn't the only classless quitter on this team. Problem is, he is supposed to be leading it.

The fact that people care so much about this is puzzling to me. It is clearly a prank. And I get that some question his judgment behind the prank. (Personally, I like it). This would seem to be a matter of one's taste for pranks. IMO, it's just Rex being Rex. He is known for this sort of thing. Any other coach ever do a press conference in a wig and insult his sister-in-law? Oh yeah, the Jets were winning then, so it was funny.

Perhaps you can all wait to pass final judgment until his press conference. By the way, Tom Gamble - whom I believe is the leading candidate for the GM job - has known Rex for 20 years.

Gamble worked with Buddy Ryan in Philadelphia and has known Rex Ryan for more than 20 years. So he and Rex, who have a mutual respect for each other, could become a strong team.

There is a silver lining:

None of the GM candidates with embarASSing tatoos will take the job now...

This past week Woody seems to have finally gotten it. Trying to clean up the mess (yes, that he partially created) but still trying to clean it and seemingly doing all the right things. Especially telling Rex to get out of town for a few days, so he doesn't say or do something stupid.

And now this, I feel bad for the guy.

Seriously? No one is saying Rex shouldn't have a personal life. He can suck feet until he turns blue for all I give a shyte. That's a personal decision.

But when he tattoos a jersey of a player who, at this current moment, is embroiled in controversy, who also appears to be mimicking a pose of ANOTHER player mired in controversy, on a likeness of his wife, who for all intents and purposes is his soulmate...do you really NOT get this? At best, it looks as if he's impartial to Sanchez. Which, right now, is the kiss of death.

That's not a personal decision...that's a personnel decision.

If he is trying to get fired, I hope all he gets is demoted and then quits so we can put him on the shelf for 2 years. I really had nothing against him up until the last 3 or 4 weeks, it's really gone over the cliff.

This is beyond creepy.
If it was Herm or Mangini they'd be ballistic.

Rex seems like a good, fun guy to be around and have a beer with. That's why there isn't the outrage

As DD said I wanted him out months ago. This week hasn't changed that one way or the other. He isn't a HC

Sorry guys, but Woody has to be seething. He hires a firm to land the best possible GM candidate, and he has to have this farg it up?

This alone shouldn't get a Coach fired, but the timing of it may spell the end for Rex.

I'm sorry Sonny, but the head coach of an NFL team should not be vacationing in the Bahamas and pulling inappropriate pranks when his owner is left holding the bag in New Jersey trying to clean up his mess, trying to conduct a professional search for the replacement GM, and millions of Jets fans are mourning the worst season we've had in 15 years.

Again, the guy can do whatever he wants with his personal life it's not for us to tell him what he can't do. But he is a public figure, the face of our franchise, and someone who knowingly represents millions of people. He can't make foot fetish videos, he can't be photographed in Newark airport in a Titans jacket on his way to the Bahamas, and he can't display Mark Sanchez tattoos of his bottomless wife on his arms knowing he's going to get photographed at a very busy tourist resort.

I'm a lover, not a fighter. Thanks for the kind words.

I agree that Rex is entitled to do whatever he chooses in his personal life. Also that gossip/sensationalistic-fueled media is disgusting. I especially wish it had no place in sports reporting.

That said, my only problem with this situation is that Rex would have such a tattoo. IMO, it's just not what a leader of men does. Nor someone who hopes to foster and build an organization's reputation. As I said earlier, I can't imagine that any other HC in the history of the NFL would even think of adding their QB's likeness on their body. It's just friggin' nuts.

Apart from putting his wife in a very strange position (no pun), at the very least, it conveys that Rex will show mark favoritism.
