Yes ladies and gents, the tattoo is real. Earlier today the Jets held a press conference and of course Rex Ryan was asked about his wife/Mark Sanchez tattoo that was spotted while Rex was on vacation. Not only is the tattoo real, but he has a backup plan if Sanchez doesn’t start to play better.
Check out what Rex had to say after the jump…
Via TMZ:
Jets nightmare QB Mark Sanchez better clean up his act if he wants his jersey to stay on Rex Ryan’s arm — so says the head coach, who claimed he’ll ink a NEW number onto his infamous tattoo … if Mark doesn’t start playing better.
Rex was questioned about the tat during a news conference today — and Rex joked, “Obviously, if Sanchez doesn’t play better, that number’s changing. That’s a given.”
As we reported, Rex unveiled the bizarre tattoo while on vacation in the Bahamas last week – a tat of what appears to be his naked wife wearing ONLY a Mark Sanchez jersey.
During the news conference, Rex insisted the tat’s just a coincidence — claiming he got the ink job long before Sanchez came to the Jets.
Rex said, “It’s funny. It’s actually a tattoo I’ve had for like three years … I’ve been married for 25 years, and through my eyes, my wife’s the most beautiful woman in the world. So that’s what it is.”
For reference: here’s a list of every other player to wear #6 for the Jets … Bill Demory, Bubby Brister, Joe Prokop, Ray Lucas, Doug Brien, Kellen Clemens, and Reggie Hodges.
