A wild, crazy history of Rex Ryan

Rob: “I was a solo rider and had a babe on the line. But she had a friend. I said, ‘You know, come on. Be a team player.’ ”

Rex: “I said, ‘Dude, I’m staying at home today.’ ”

Rob: “So after a few hundred beers I said, ‘You need to help out.’ He didn’t, so I was pissed and got in a wrestling match with him. I think he was a lot more sober than I was.”

Rex: “I was bigger and was just going to throw his ass down. But he reversed me and got on top. So we went at it. We ended up outside, and here he comes.”

Rob: “I ran after him, and he had a right hand waiting for me. I never saw it coming. Still haven’t seen it.”

Rex: “I got him good, and it was over. I felt terrible. I couldn’t believe I hit my brother like that.”

Rex then tried to clear his head and decided to take the car they shared for a drive but the trouble continued for Rex while behind the wheel.

“I get pulled over by a cop. He sees me and doesn’t know what he’s got,” Rex said with a gleaming-white smile. “I said, ‘I just got in a fight with my brother. You can take me back there, and he’ll explain it.’ “They take me to jail and then called my brother. He said, ‘Nah, leave him in there.’ ”

There you have it, Rex got put into jail for fighting with his brother and his brother let him stay there. It was even more interesting as the two appeared at Super Bowl XX in New Orleans shortly thereafter as their dad Buddy Ryan was coaching the Chicago Bears to a victory. That must've been some family meeting.
