Rex Ryan made a strange reference to his foot fetish on ESPN on Sunday when the NFL analyst weighed in on the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders.
Ryan, a former head coach of the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills, has owned his foot fetish after a video he and his wife made appeared on a foot fetish website in 2010.
Now, as ESPN showed footage of offensive tackle Mailata warming up at Lincoln Financial Field barefoot before the big showdown against the Commanders.
“Well, you know I know feet,” Ryan said. 'Those are some ugly feet right there. I'm used to seeing some pretty feet. They are ugly feet.
It comes weeks after Ryan accidentally revealed his screen saver on his phone in December, a photo of his wife's feet.
And in October, Ryan opened up about his fetish on the Pivot podcast and his wife's video that surfaced online 15 years ago.

“I love my wife's feet,” he said. “I don't know what it is. But if a girl has her feet up, I'm out. I don't care how beautiful. I'm out.
'I don't know what the hell it is. Some people are tits, legs guys. Of course, I notice a pretty pretty face, whatever… but I'm checking the feet.
'I have fun with it and it's like, yeah, that's me. That's what I am. I own that shit. And if a girl has big feet, I'm watching.
During an appearance on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown in December, Ryan was showing a photo of his wife Michelle on the front of his cell phone when fans saw something unusual about the image.
Instead of opting for a normal shot of Michelle smiling or posing for a camera, the former New York Jets and Buffalo Bills head coach appears to have a snap of his longtime teammate sitting down and checking his phone.
Even more strangely, the image was taken from an angle that captures a close-up of the bottom of her feet.
Recently, Ryan was in the running to become the head coach of the New York Jets for the second time.
They interviewed him and Ryan said he was the best man for the job, but he did not return for a second discussion about the role.
Earlier this week, the Jets hired Aaron Glenn, who was defensive coordinator with the Detroit Lions, as their head coach.
