Subtle sense of humor over at SI.com

[l< j]

Someone has a sense of humor. Note the subtext in the subheadings in this online column from Sports Illustrated, re: Jets v. Bears.

 

1. Rex Ryan's greatest feat is winning on the road.

 

2. New York's Achilles' heel is its offense.

 

3. Chicago's defense has the edge when it goes toe-to-toe against New York's offense.

 

He also talks about his "football fetish", suggests fans bring their "feety pajamas" to the game due to the cold, and predicts that the Bears' defense will "hold the Jets feet to the fire." He even throws in a mention of Lou "The Toe" Groza for no good reason!

 

Well, I thought it was funny.

That's pretty funny and probably the only reason to have read the magazine for the past 15 years!

Good find!

I thought it was hilarious.

 

Mrs. Ryan apparently likes to talk about her sweaty, smelly feet. Odd.

No Tom Dempsey jokes?"He missed by half a foot!!"

Except for that 63-yard FG. He made it by a foot and a half.

I will be looking forward to playing our...arch...rivals next week.

[Just in Atlanta]

I mean, we'll be real heels if we lose again to the Jets.

[Just in Atlanta]

This will not be another defeat at the hands of the Jets.

 

I could go on, but I'll stop.

Ron Bunyan…I think. Didn't he retire due to gout?

Is the gout an STD in the Ryan household?
