Sorry for the wealth of NFL information today, but we haven't posted in nearly a week and our excitement for the upcoming season knows no boundaries. Anyway, Baltimore defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, in his bid to become an NFL head coach has decided that the best way to do so is by dropping a few waist sizes. We might have suggested simply contacting the Bucs at the end of the season, but whatever. This story in the Baltimore Sun informs us that at one point Ryan was consuming 7,000 calories a day, or roughly three times our daily intake(we're 6'2, 185 pounds, for comparative purposes).
While it's true that grotesquely overweight coaches aren't the norm in the NFL, Ryan seems to have spent too much time watching Herman Edwards running wind sprints on HBO.
There's not too many fat guys that are coaches. I don't see how weight can make you a better coach," Ryan said. "But I guess if you're the face of the franchise, then that is important as well."
Let's see: Andy Reid, Mike Holmgren, Romeo Crennel, Wade Phillips...shit, he's right. When did this happen?
