Rex Ryan certainly knows his toes, err roles.
During Monday morning’s installment of ESPN’s “Get Up,” the panelists discussed Aaron Rodgers’ lingering toe issue, which Ryan quipped is an area of his expertise.
“I’m a toe expert,” Ryan said, which prompted his co-hosts to erupt with laughter and even led to Ryan Clark walking away from the table.
Dan Orlovsky later responded to the clip on Twitter, “😂 😂 😂 Rex.”
Ryan appeared to poke fun at himself following a 2010 incident in which his wife, Michelle, reportedly posted foot-fetish videos online. Ryan, who was the head coach of the Jets at the time, addressed the allegations during a press conference.
Ryan Clark walks away after Rex Ryan’s “toe expert” comment on Monday’s episode of “Get Up.” Twitter“This is a personal matter and I’m not going to discuss it,” Ryan said.
Last month, however, Rodgers seemingly trolled Ryan during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” when the quarterback explained his decision to show his foot on-air.
Dan Orlovsky reacts to Rex Ryan’s toe joke. ESPN“I think Rex Ryan probably enjoyed it,” Rodgers joked at the time.
Rodgers’ pinky toe has been the topic of conversation for some time now. Following the Packers’ win over the Bears on Sunday night, the league’s reigning MVP said the injury “feels worse.”
“I don’t know what kind of setback that I had tonight but we’ll look at it tomorrow,” he said, per Sports Illustrated. “But definitely took a step back tonight.”
Sources told ESPN on Sunday that Rodgers’ toe injury is expected to linger for the remainder of the season.
