Halloween is just 11 days away, and those of you who aren't going as slutty Big Bird might be scrambling for a costume. So if you're at a loss for what to do come October 30th, here are some quick tips on how to whip up a costume of everyone's favorite NFL coach, Rex Ryan:
- Start with a pillow. Or three. Or maybe a small child and just stuff it up your shirt. That lap-band surgery is working, but there's still a lot of Sexy Rexy to go around.
- Grab some khakis and make sure that black shirt is tucked in.
- Get some fake teeth, because those pearly whites are mesmerizingly perfect.
- Get drunk and flip the bird.
- Always make sure you have a goddamn snack handy.
We're looking forward to seeing all the Rex Ryans in the stands on Halloween's game against the Packers, and bonus points to anyone dressed as Rex-Ryan-As-"The Dude"— AKA Rex's brother Rob Ryan.
