Exactly. And that was a serious news story. If they put that little care into that type of story...
well, if he's had it for a while, it's highly likely that the team would know about it. when he got his tribal tattoo, it was in part a message to the team, because it means "believe in yourself."
however, Mike DeVito was on the radio today and said he didn't know about Rex's wife/Sanchez tattoo and had never even heard of anyone mention it. this from a coach who appeared shirtless on "Hard Knocks" and who stripped in the middle of an NHL game to switch jerseys. if he's had it for a while (meaning this season at least), it's likely that the team would know about it. if they know about it and it hadn't made the news before today, then nobody on the team seems to care.
but, if the tattoo is so recent that nobody had seen it, then it means it's something that he got in the past week. if it's a real tattoo that he got this past week, then Rex wouldn't be at the beach exposing it to sunlight and water.
in conclusion:
1. it's a real tattoo, he's had it for a while, nobody cares.
2. it's a real tattoo, and Rex doesn't care if it gets ruined and/or it gets infected.
3. it's a fake tattoo.
Why would they go through the trouble of finding Rex, photographing him, and photoshopping a silly tattoo on him? That's absurd and really reaching.
It's more likely that Rex simply got a tattoo when he came to NY during the 09-10 span when we all thought Sanchez might be our guy.
The type of Media you are...is reflected in the message itself.
Marshall McLuhan...wrote many books on the subject. And they were saying...
"The Medium Is The Message"..."The Medium Is The Massage"
This guy knew what was going to come from the media with a vengeance, way back in the 1960s. He knew the medium was a weapon of persuasion and propaganda on many levels. From the subtle subliminal presentations, to the more aggressive and graphically obvious ones.
Of course there are more up to date books that deal with the media subject in this manner. By others as well as McLuhan. But I chose McLuhan here...cause he was prophetic from a vantage point, of an era where the mainstream media seemed less aggressive and intrusive. Less nasty-sleazy-seedy...with less inappropriately cruel overtones. He knew all these types of delivery systems were going to emerge to the forefront of mainstream media presentations.
Mainstream media isn't just informing you...so as to aid you in making good decisions in your life....or for your NYJ. Nor is it always presenting pure escapist entertainment, to help remove you from a world that makes us all weary at times. It often is telling you how to feel...think...and act. In subtle shades to overt tones.
You've been getting a good taste of the media flavor of choice...for our NYJ...by how they've been covering our Jets team...especially since late 2011 to right now. They want you to swallow and digest their cleverly packaged flavor...and react on the poison it just gave you.
For the older of you Jets fans...this is the kind sports journalism and media that your children are growing up in.
Media are privately owned businesses. Mega corporations. And it's their money that's talking to you. Their not catering to your love for the game of football...or your NYJ. They want to capture you and put you in a chicken coop. Force you to lay coins for their treasure chests. They'll give you a carefully concocted presentation that resembles your love for football...and your team. But it's all about money...and the milking of fans to get it.
"The Medium Is The Message"..."The Medium Is The Massage"...
Forget...for a moment, about how disappointed or angry you may feel about the past two years of our NYJ fortunes. And the individuals responsible for your negative feelings. Think more about how calculated and cruel the media has presented this. Guys like Mehta and Cimini...ESPN producers' NYJ guidlines on talking points...and so on. They've been saying to Woody and Rex..."ok...you've pissed us off...now where gonna manipulate your fan base with our persuasive delivery systems...and make them more angry and hateful towards you and the Jets, let that be a lesson to you both."
The media is confident they can pied pipe the fans reactions...with presentations like this...Rex and his tatoo. Cause..."the media is the message"..."the media is the message."
Once in a while...you've just got to kick them in the balls...and let them know you don't like what they're doing. Woody and Rex are saying to a media that's been sh!ting on their Jets...fu*k-u.
What are Jets fans...that bleed the Green 'n White...going to say to these media mafioso's? Not much in defense of their team...so far.
I hope Rex walks out at PC on Tuesday makes a B-line for Myers and/or Manish beats the living crap out of them get up to the podium and says "next question".
These fvcking scvmbag media types deserve a good a$$ whipping. The sh!t they do nowadays is disgraceful.
That's the most logical explanation if in fact there actually is a tattoo..
Here's how I see it.
For people wanting Rex fired, it's ammo
For people not wanting Rex fired, it's nothing
To me, if anything, it's funny. There were many many pages on Patriots sites when Brady was posing with a goat and other dumb moves he made making fun of him.
Shake your head, laugh a little, and let it go. If you like Rex, this shouldn't change it. If you don't like Rex, this is just part of the decision process you likely don't like.
Either way, it's just a badly done and silly tattoo.
if the tattoo is real i think we might be seeing rex on this show real soon.
Spike TV’s new Series “Tattoo Nightmares”
Biggest Mexican disaster the Alamo or Rex's tattoo??
I was thinking that... it's really poorly done. The shading is awful.
That is too harsh. Their jobs are to be the first ones to the story. Mistakes are going to be made. I can't imagine how much media scrambling happened on that day. You really can't compare the NY media's handling of this story vs. that one.
For year of four years?
Tool.
Discussing it on First Take...ripping him for it...
Are you even listening to yourself?
You can even tell the image hasn't been photoshopped since there's no grain/artifact mismatching, the style of the cartoon being pretty common for tattoos, the tattoo itself warps and conforms to the angle of Rex's bicep, etc.
It's real. Trust me.
You do realize I was agreeing with you??
The multiple periods threw me off.You do realize I was agreeing with you??
Doesn't bother me. It's a given.
The time of month can be a *****..The multiple periods threw me off.
