    Look, if he just made a couple of kinky videos that got out and embarrassed him and his wife, that's one thing. I would guess MT and WJ would laugh it off, too.

    But this is way beyond that. This is going to involve the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy, even if the incidents took place years ago.

    Whether the videos were deliberately or accidentally released, they were made public. And at one time, the Ryans were apparently listing themselves as into wife-swapping, threesomes, and other kinky/BSDM and other 'alternatives.'

    Look, I think this is more serious than a DWI. At least that's NORMAL if not something very dangerous and damaging to ones image. A dozen incidents a year happen in the NFL involving DWI or DUI or related transgressions. This Footgate is damaging in a way that embarrasses the club, Ryan, and Woody Johnson.

    And yes....it has to affect Ryan this week....this is worse than the Aliosi thing, which even if out of the ordinary, was at least football-related. This is the kind of thing that is definitely a distraction and can impact Rex's ability to coach on Sunday.

    Question: What do you think goes through Rex's mind when someone tells him that Goodell is having a 3-way with Tannenbaum and Woody ? Doesn't matter whether Goodell laughs it off or they are discussing possible fines/suspensions, just knowing that such a call is taking place or will take place is a huge weight on Rex's shoulders.

    I don't know why they made this crap public, Rex was either an Assistant Coach with the Ravens or the Defensive Coordinator. ANY affiliation with an NFL club for a guy aspiring to be a head coach should have told him this stuff couldn't go on in private, let alone public tapes and profiles.

    And while I'm not sure there's a defense for some of the more sordid stuff we've learned, I would have thought that Rex should have thought this day might happen and he should have had a better defense/public statement prepared. Even laughing it off would have been better, IMO -- but the stoic demeanor thing didn't work for me or the press corps.

    Uggg.....

    Maybe you haven't heard. The league was asked about it and the official response is that they are treating this as a personal matter.

    That means no impending league discipline is hanging over Rex's head

    The NFL has already said their not doing anything about it. It was a guy filming his wife's feet, get over it.

    I don't understand the big deal. I mean yes, it will certainly be distracting but there's nothing wrong with what he did. Unless I'm missing something videotaping feet is legal and has nothing to do with football or the league at all.

    I didn't know. That's good news -- but I wonder if they will re-examine it later on. It certainly seems to involve the personal conduct policy. All the Sirius guys were saying the same thing.

    It's still a distraction, and a big one. Time and some wins will cure things but that takes time.

    And wins.

    lol

    Interesting. Though I don't think it's a big thing. I actually said to a friend today that in this current climate of the NFL, the bigger story will most likley be what you are referring to. The story is going to be about wife swapping and the alternative lifestyle of swinging sites and posting videos on the Internet.

    I felt bad for Rex during the presser. What part of 'personal matter' does the press not understand? It reminded me of some of Belichicks pressers.

    I wonder how Woody & Co. handle this. What a strange season for the Jets.

    As bas as Belichick's affair thing was -- I assume it was true, I never read much about it, guess it was some woman who worked for the Giants or Jets when he worked for those clubs ? -- it was normal: guy has an affair. I think Belichick got a divorce also or was separated so you could make an excuse for it.

    This is just bizzare though.

    Tell MT or WJ that an employee had an affair, they can probably handle it mentally. This has to cause their heads to be spinning a bit.

    you guys are missing more of what will probably hit the media soon. There are more links with pictures to things like Rex's naked wife:

    This link leads to a naked pic of michelle ryan making a post in 2007 on alt.com

    (you do have consent to being 18 before viewing the profile)

    someone added it from the forum link deadspin cited.

    If it were just the feet videos on youtube I don't think it would be a big deal. Hopefully the NFL only takes action on illegal stuff. Nothing Rex is doing is illegal. In most states.

    this is only a big deal because the media and opposing fans love to hate on the jets. with all the shit this team has gone through this season, this may be the incident with the least amount of consequences.

    I do love it that we're controversial almost every week. This Jets season is the BEST ever. Most entertaining season since I became a fan in 1985.

    Oh wow, those naked pictures of his wife aren't going to help matters.

    How can they be so stupid with this? I personally don't care because if it makes them happy and they're not hurting anyone, more power to them. But now I'm gonna have to deal with so much shit from my Jets hating friends.

    Since he's not doing anything illegal, any negative value that this story holds is purely what you put into it.

    Basically, if you think this is going to have serious repercussions, it's because you want it to.

    Wow! Once the press picks this up, this could be a frenzy. Is this new, i haven't seen anything like this.

    Seriously, this is so odd, I don't even know what to think. I feel bad for his wife.

    Rex will not make any jokes about this nor will the players have fun with it because it involves his wife. Who knows, maybe it was his idea to make the videos and post them. He just ruined his wifes reputation. It ain't about the kink, its about his women that he loves, nothing funny about that. Man, you can see it in his eyes.

    The bigger of a deal you or I or anyone else makes of it, the more of a reason she has to be embarrassed. 100% perception.

    If the general public reaction turns out to be "What's the big deal, the guy is into some kinky stuff with his wife," good. If people flip a shit about it, bad.
