Back in January 2013, the New York Daily News revealed that then-Jets head coach Rex Ryan had a very strange tattoo on his right arm. The tattoo featured Ryan's wife Michelle wearing a Mark Sanchez jersey. And NFL fans were understandably freaked out by it:

Ryan hasn't coached Sanchez in more than a year now. But it seems he still has the tattoo and doesn't plan on getting rid of it, even though he was recently hired to be the Bills head coach. In fact, Ryan is reportedly interested in signing Sanchez to be his quarterback in Buffalo next season. So when he was asked about it on ESPN's Mike & Mike in the Morning earlier today, Ryan admitted that he still has the tattoo of his wife in Sanchez's jersey, meaning there's a possibility that Sanchez could land with the Bills this offseason:

Isn't it a little bit weird, er, make that really weird that Ryan still has the tattoo? It was weird when he got it in the first place, especially when you consider that he had to know that Sanchez probably wouldn't be his quarterback forever. But now that he's moved on to a new team, it's extra weird and, regardless of whether he coaches Sanchez or not next season, he should probably look into getting the tattoo altered sometime soon.

How about your wife in a Jim Kelly jersey, Rex? It seems that would stand the test of time, no?
