That’s our Rex! According to Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post, HC of the NYJ Rex Ryan has imported a tradition that he inherited from former Ravens coach Brian Billick. The competition is known as “King Ugly”. Votes costing $1 each count towards who the voter thinks is the ugliest person in the organization. Everyone including GM Mike Tannenbaum is fair game. Rex makes it even better when he describing the prizes, “Third-place winner gets 75-percent of the money. Second-place winner gets 25-percent. The winner gets nothing. He’s so ugly he doesn’t deserve anything.” BLS writer theOCD thought it would be funny if someone stuffed the ballot with Mark Sanchez votes, and I couldn’t help but agree. Ryan did hint though that the probable winner is “in an administrative position”. Does anyone have any guesses? I’d like to see someone guess this correctly, because it would then confirm this mystery man’s ugliness.
King Ugly? Probably not...
Via NY Post :
Perhaps the most anticipated competition of training camp is slated for a climax on Wednesday night, when Ryan conducts the “King Ugly” competition, something he’s brought with him from Baltimore, where former Ravens head coach Brian Billick started it.
The competition is a team vote (for $1 per vote) on who the ugliest person in the organization is. Ryan playfully said his new team has a “bumper bumper crop” of potential winners.
“Coaches are included and I’m going to put our general manager (Mike Tannenbaum) in there as well,” Ryan said. “Third-place winner gets 75-percent of the money. Second-place winner gets 25-percent. The winner gets nothing. He’s so ugly he doesn’t deserve anything.
“You can throw a lot of money in there. If you really want somebody to win that award badly enough all you’ve got to do is put the cash out there.”
Ryan said, “I think I know the person who’s going to win it,” but he declined to say who. He did deliver this hint: “He’s in an administrative position.”
I guess Rex Ryan took himself off the ballot for the contest.
There should be a King Homo-Magnet Picture award given to Sanchez for posing in what appears to be the gayest photo shoot ever. That seems like something Leinart would do. Err, right, they're the same person.
