I know this story sounds scandalous at first, but in my estimation it’s very tame and just highlights a longterm married couple’s fetish that they never should have posted online. NY Jets football coach Rex Ryan has been married to his wife, his high school sweetheart Michelle, for 23 years. Ryan gushed about his wife prior to this coming to light, and called her a “supermodel” and said “there’s only two kinds of coaches’ wives in the NFL and that’s ex-ones and great ones.” Deadspin has uncovered videos of Michelle apparently taken by Ryan (his voice is heard in the background) in which she shows her bare feet sensually. (They’re safe for work and PG-13) They’ve also found an online swingers profile of a couple who share suspiciously the same biographical data as the Ryans. This story was on the cover of the NY Daily News last week, with Ryan saying in a subsequent press conference that it was a “personal matter.”
Foot-fetish videos of a woman who’s a dead ringer for the wife of Jets coach Rex Ryan burned up the Internet Tuesday night – giving the word “football” a whole new meaning.
One of the four videos on the sports gossip site Deadspin.com show the woman and an off-screen cameraman who sounds like Ryan having intimate discussions about her feet.
The petite blonde showing off her toes in the videos bears an uncanny resemblance to Michelle Ryan, the coach’s wife of 23 years.
Deadspin reported that the woman featured in the videos goes by the Internet handle “Ihaveprettyfeet” and has more than looks in common with the coach’s wife.
Like Michelle Ryan, the 47-year-old woman is a housewife with a master’s degree, a Virgo and once lived in Ellicott City, Md., which is where the Ryans lived before they moved to New York, Deadspin said.
Rex Ryan, in a scheduled interview session with Chicago reporters on Wednesday morning, only said: “I know you need to ask, it’s a personal matter.”
In one clip, the woman is sitting in a green SUV with her bare feet hanging out the window when she is approached by the sound-alike Rex Ryan.
“You have really beautiful feet,” the unseen cameraman tells the woman. She responds, “Thank you. You know most men do think my feet are pretty because … well, they’re soft and they’re petite and, of course, they are very beautiful.”
The cameraman then asks, “You mind if I touch them.” He proceeds to request, “Can I smell them.”
“I bet most men like to do a lot of things with those feet,” the man says.
The other videos show the woman lounging on a couch, drinking a beer and reading a book while flexing and rubbing her footsies.

This will blow over quickly. The most damaging part is the online profile in which a guy who was maybe-Rex wrote that he’d like to see someone else with his wife. (I’m paraphrasing, it was more graphic than that and you can read it and see the videos at deadspin.) This is not a cheating scandal and whatever two consenting people (or more) want to do behind closed doors is their own business. It’s when they start posting it online and not trying to hide their identities that they get into trouble. A foot fetish and some maybe-swinging does not a scandal make.
*snickers*…maybe not a scandal in the circles they allegedly travel in privately…but in conservative middle america…it could make them shun worthy. it seriously could.
how embarrassing! …especially if they have kidz and are churchy.
Since in their ‘swinger’s profile,’ they reference enjoying ‘defilement, breast/nipple torture,’ etc, then to me, that, and they, are indeed gross and weird. Trolling on the Internet seeking strangers to come into their home to join their Pain Parties is sick and very dangerous. I don’t know their childrens’ ages, but they’re placing themselves and their entire family at great risk. Good luck to them trying to lecture their kids or grandkids about staying safe from predators in cyberspace when they themslves fling open their own front door to the first available psycho with a whip.
Yuk.
Meh… not scandalous or news worthy. Whatever rocks their boat. Quentin Tarantino has feet fetish. I’ve read of people who have a balloon fetish. errr o-kayyy
Depending on how deep they’re into this, how much that has been publicized and how intentional about keeping this ‘hush-hush’ they were it could be very embarrassing. I agree with CB, this is private business that should have remained just that. Seems like a non-story to me….there’s a surprising amount of those these past few days. I’m surprised there was no
mention of JL Hewitt stepping out sans makeup adorned in nerdy glasses, I’d love to read the comments on that.
How did I miss that newspaper cover. ITA with CB and Chiara If they are happily married why knock it???
Jesus Christ- who CARES????
How scandalous!!! Rex and his wife engaging in libidinous activity, aren’t they both married??? Oh wait, they are married to each other, sad state of affairs when a married couple are still hot for each other after 23 years and the media wants to turn it into something. Leave these people alone, so what if they want someone else in their private life from time to time. They are both consenting. Personally, I think they should be celebrated for being together for so long and still turned on by each other.
You guys who think this is just a loving married couple’s sweetly kinky private life need to click on the link to their way-gross Internet ad.
I did click on their ad, so what? What if you enjoyed something that someone else found “gross”? It is not fair for them to judge you nor you them. That is the real issue, two people consenting to do something is fine. It is a big world, room enough for everyone and room enough for two consenting people to enjoy their private life free from judgment of others. I live in both New York and Los Angeles and it is highly unlikely that the populace would be upset if some big name star came out and said they were homosexual, yet many people in the Bible belt and middle America would be appalled.
The only thing I see as “way-gross” is judging other people based on my own personal tastes.
You’re missing my point or you clicked on the wrong link. They’re trolling the Internet looking for strangers willing to ‘defile’ them and engage in mutual bondage, s/m, and ‘breast and nipple torture’ etc and you think that’s just having fun? What type of person do you think responds to that type of ad? Do you not think they’re placing themselves and any children/grandchildren in the home at risk? This has absolutely nothing to do with people being shocked about someone being gay and I have no idea why you raised that
Harmless? Maybe not the world’s business, but it’s gross and vile, and not least because Rex Ryan is a disgusting looking toad. What kind of man wants to see his wife get “done” by another man? BLECH.
Kinda lame to make whole story out of this. To me this is not scandalous at all, though it’s not my kind of lifestyle.
But whatever, they are married, they are happy, not doing anything illegal or hurting anyone. He’s a football coach, not a pastor or politician. This is a private matter.
Oh and I seriously doubt they would invite strangers in their home for wild sex parties while their children are sleeping upstairs. Jesus.
@Jeane, that is what they’re looking for. Or I guess they could leave the kids with a sitter and meet their psycho(s) in hotel rooms. I don’t care what they do at all, but I’m amused at those of you who think this is a devoted cutely kinky married couple. ‘Breast and nipple torture,’
yeah, sweet to be in THAT marriage!
I think it’s really sad that some of you are so judgmental of this couple. Yes, some people are into BDSM. Actually, a lot of people are. It’s not like you can just find people in your neighborhood to join you, the internet is kind of how that happens. In the BDSM community I believe there are very strict guidelines for how this is arranged, with contracts and all parties discussing exactly what will happen in advance to make sure everyone is consenting to each activity.
Anyways, it’s obvious that we have some serious prudes around here lol. You’re claiming that it’s “dangerous for their children” without knowing WHERE this even happens (and I highly doubt their children are ever in the same building) in an effort to deflect your own squeamishness with it. It’s not affecting YOU so I’m not sure why your panties are in such a twist over it.
Would I want someone to “defile” or torture me? No, not my cup of tea. But if that’s what helps someone get their kicks and they’re comfortable enough to admit it instead of repressed and grumpy, more power to ’em.
Stop attempting to dictate what consenting adults do in their own bedroom. It’s not your place to judge.
I don’t think this will be an imPEDiment to his career. He’ll just need to tread lightly around the subject. Toe the line, as it were. Avoid his arch-enemies for a while. Time heels all wounds. This will be no easy feet.
Now I feel like a heel…
Good for them! I love to see older married couples still enjoying themselves and keeping things hot.
There’s nothing gross or weird about it. YKINMK – and that’s okay! If you don’t have one, then for the love of sex, explore!
Not my business, I mean if her husband wants to videotape her bare feet then who am i to scream ‘pervert’. I mean many normal married couple have sex tapes and we are making a big deal out of a tape of her barefoot drinking beer?? SNOOZE…
Nah, it appears to be the nipple torture & swinging that bothers some folks most. Because, you know, kinky folk love to have huge torture orgies with strangers in front of their innocent children.
@ Shelley, um, no, it’s not. It doesn’t say “hey come to our family home to torture us and maybe you get to molest our kids cuz they’ll be right there!”
Don’t be ridiculous.
“Nipple torture” yeah not really my thing, but you do realize that it’s an expression, it’s not really torture if the participants are willing, you know.
@ Shannon: Thank you and ITA! but whatever, in the Natalie Portman post some people were upset that she’s having a baby out of wedlock, so… yeah.
I don’t care what consenting adults do. No idea who these people are, but other than the risk of exposure and subsequent embarrassment (that they are now living through) I dont see the big deal. It’s not my cup of tea, but different strokes.
Oh please, what a bunch of prudes some of you are. So they like a bit of slap and tickle — does that mean they should be dragged through the mud? Does it mean they do this in front of their children. Of course not! Grow up and stay out of their bedrooms!
The fact that they are into BDSM does not make them anything other than people. The exact same act may be wild to some and boring to others.
My wife and I have a completely open relationship, she is openly bi. We have children, too. We are no more likely to have any of our outside partners involvement in front of the kids as we are to fool around with each other in front of them.
They are in love, together for 23 years and still prioritize intimacy in their relationship. I say good for them. The “torture” people complain about is largely a mental issue. I am very familiar with that culture and 99% of the BDSM people emote on the mental aspect of it all. The pain is a personal level. Some people consider pain a splinter and other people say it was not so bad when they broke their leg. The “torture” comes from crossing a personal threshold.
To each their own, to this couple, it is an enhancement. They are not doing anything wrong or behind anyone’s back.
Hello, it’s that they’re trolling for strangers on the Internet to engage in pain and torture games. Y’all with the ‘open minds’ seem to have closed those same minds to the dangerous people who might respond to this ad. And duh, if this couple were part of the SM ‘community’ with all its claimed safeguards, then they wouldn’t be trolling on the Internet for their pieces of strange, would they? Love how you call me a prude when you have no reason to do so. Work for a police dept for awhile and see how safe you think these idiots and yes, their children, are.
she has ugly feet. just sayin’.
This is beyond creepy.
Shelley, please understand this. Multiple people have tried explaining it to you. Research if it’s beyond your grasp. BDSM networking is very common online. Most kinksters have extremely rigorous interviews and carefully planned public meetings before they ever get involved, be it friendship or romantically, or just kinkily. It’s really just like Match.com, only for people who prefer to list “whips”, “foot worship”, and “nipple play” as interests and hobbies instead of “baking”, “long walks on the beach”, and “Amish romances”.
Calling people who disagree with your puritanical views “idiots”, “gross”, “dangerous”, “psychos/predators”, or implying that they’re ignorant is not making you come across as the educated one here. You obviously know nothing about the culture, so stop trying to school those who do and are pointing out the flaws in your rampages.
The next time we “troll the Internet” for someone to come to our house will be the first. We email back and forth for a litle while, then meet for coffee/drinks. We are not, as most in our world, interested in random hookups with total strangers. How is speaking to someone first online more dangerous then meeting someone in a bar and having a one night stand??? The difference is, when speaking online, we specifically look for clues to rule people out. In regards to the BDSM community, it is a VERY close knit community, if one bad seed is found, their information is quickly shared through out the friend list. We are up to zero bad experiences and we have been open for more than a decade. It is just like any relationship, we use common sense. Personally, people we have brought into our private life we have become friends with for years and years. There is far greater risk in trolling through Craigslist then there is on alt.com or AFF. I do not need to work in law enforcement to know how this lifestyle works. Speaking of law enforcement, there is a handful of local people in law enforcement and one in the DA’s office that we have chatted with. Yes even law enforcement people have libidos other than mainstream society promotes.
ROTFLMAO @ Nudgie!!!
To quote junipergreen above:
“Jesus Christ- who CARES????”
Um, yeah. Exactly. Two consenting adults who are apparently still hot for each other after 20+ years, is a non-story. I’m not into feet but hey, whatever floats their boat.
i like this couple……swinging and loving each other. I advice couples to swing, …..its the best ……
