On the latest episode of Greeny with ESPN analyst Domonique Foxworth, former NFL coach Rex Ryan dropped a bombshell about his recent getaway.
As per Ryan, he and his wife once embarked on a trip to Cancun, but things took an unexpected turn.
As the couple prepared to board their flight, a rather peculiar issue arose — their dogs were barred from accompanying them due to one of them exhibiting a “new cough," presumably linked to a recent canine respiratory ailment.
Faced with the dilemma of leaving their furry companions behind, Ryan"s wife made the responsible choice of returning home with the dogs.
However, Rex Ryan decided to take a different route.
Instead of joining his wife on the return journey, he opted for a Cancun retreat solo.
When questioned about his decision on the show, Ryan unabashedly explained:
“I went down to Cancun… I’m the third wheel on the thing, but I’m sitting back there and drinking beer and laying [down], having a good time in the ocean and enjoying the sun. Of course! That’s what every man would do who’s been married for 37 years!"
Rex Ryan really went on a couples vacation to Cancun…without his wife 😂
