He might not be coaching any games this weekend, but Jets coach Rex Ryan sure knows how to enjoy himself in his off-hours, whether he's running with bulls, getting a sexy tattoo, or just draping himself in blindingly-bright orange. "Rex Ryan at JFK baggage claim," tweeted someone who spotted him there last night. "He's been waiting for 2 hours coming from the orange bowl. what an outfit."
Rex wasn't just wearing orange to channel his inner Tony the Tiger: his son is a walk-on at Clemson, who played in the Orange Bowl this week. Ryan was spotted walking around in the outfit at the Orange Bowl; apparently he didn't bring any other change of clothing.
Let this be yet another reminder of why everyone is so happy Rex will be back next season:
