I'm not a big fan of tattoos or Rex Ryan but I have to admit, when I heard about the new tattoo Ryan was sporting on his arm, while relaxing on the beach down in the Bahamas, I couldn't wait to see it.
A picture of Ryan's unveiled tattoo appears on both the front and back cover of the NY Daily News this morning. The tattoo appears to be of his wife Michelle, wearing a Marc Sanchez jersey posing in a position that has come to know as "Tebowing", made famous by Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow.
For obvious reasons if you follow the Jets, it's a strange and bizarre tattoo for Ryan or any NFL head coach to have inked on his arm and many doubt that it is real. After all, why would a coach tattoo a current players jersey on his arm when he may not be coaching the team or the player in years to come?
The speculation is that Ryan, with his strange whit and sense of humor, had the tattoo painted on to play games with team beat writers who may have followed him down to the Bahamas, to see how he was spending time on vacation instead of being in NY and answering questions from the media after the end of the Jets season, as mandated by NFL policy.
Regardless of whether the tattoo is real or fake or Ryan's motives for getting the tattoo, it is a classic that I am sure many will end up copying.
