Jim Irsay Jabs Rex Ryan's Foot Fetish On Twitter


First Posted: 12/23/10 02:30 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 07:20 PM ET

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay mocked New York Jets coach Rex Ryan on twitter after hearing of his wife's "foot-fetish" report.

"Feet fetishes started in Ancient Rome," Irsay tweeted. "I think the King just got plain bored."

Deadspin posted the "foot-fetish" report on Wednesday morning, which included a series of videos of a woman who looks like Rex Ryan's wife, Michelle.

Irsay also tweeted, "I'm gonna develop a fetish, sell Myself out to Deadsp. Or National Enq./and make'Lots of $$$$ and a G5′!!!!!..."

In the videos, the woman and a man off-screen, who sounds like the Jets coach, have intimate conversations about her feet.

Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis told the Newark Star-Ledger that Ryan addressed the report in a team meeting.

Ryan told the media on Wednesday afternoon that it's a "personal matter" and dodged several questions regarding the videos.

Jim Irsay thought that was funny, but wound up looking like a fool himself. Especially with that SP reference. Eeewww.

Rex Ryan for sports asscIown of the year, coaching sub division. Sal Alosi might edge him out, but either way, it's a win for the Jets.

'Make money'... as opposed to being born, smugly, into it?

Knowing all that I have seen and heard about this guy since he's become a head coach, this foot fetish thing is not only NO surprise, its endearing. No one can question his passion for his football team and this story supports the same for his wife. Embarassing... yeah, but good for him... if that's what makes them happy then great.

foot fetish = amusingly harmless. Now if Rex had a full-bodysuit black-latex fetish...that'd be scary.

I'm no Jets fan, but other than self-loathing, why would someone care about this story?

When it happens to be one of the most out-spoken characters in the league, you have to expect others to comment.

Another New York 'professional' sports team, front page embarrassment. The city and its teams are on a downward trajectory. Being from Boston, where our football team is 12-2, out basketball team is #1 and the Sox wineter meeting deals made the Yankees look like a pop Warner team, let me just say: "Hahahahahaha!!"

Maybe Bostons sports teams are doing well, but it seems to me that your grammar and spelling come up a bit short. Maybe a little less time in front of the television and a bit more time reading will do you some good. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I'm sure you're a perfect angel. hypocrite its a good thing you'll never amount to anything anyone would give a piss for.

I was refering to drama not who they are as people. Nevertheless my intent was never to be a detractor just give my reflection on drama queens that they both are.

The media should let this one die a fast death. What coach and his wife do between themselves should have really stayed with them. Putting it on "You Tube" was one big mistake, but still it remains between the caoch and his wife. They are happy campers and we the general public and the media should leave them alone.

You know, "junk in the shoe" doesn't have the same impact as "junk in the trunk."
