Rex Ryan to play Pats Fan in Sandler movie

[Macken]

Jets head coach Rex Ryan will play the role of a Patriots fan in an upcoming Adam Sandler movie due out next summer, the actor/producer/comedian revealed on the Rich Eisen Podcast Thursday. Sandler, who is a Jets fan, says he wrote the role before deciding to cast Ryan for the part.

“He’s my lawyer,” Sandler told Eisen. “My character [in the movie] is kind of a dirtbag guy and he’s in trouble. Rex is an inexpensive lawyer in town. He takes care of me. He’s also a mammoth Patriots fan in the movie.”

Rex Ryan playing an inexpensive lawyer? The role seems to suit him.

Ryan apparently does something that might make Jets fans cringe — he praises Brady and Belichick in the movie. Praising Belichick, whom he’s called the best coach in football, is nothing new. But being complimentary of Brady, whom he’s knocked in the past, is stranger.

Sandler also denied that he had a role in Nnamdi Asomugha’s decision not to sign with the Jets saying “I don’t think I would have been the go-to guy for that.” A report said that Rex Ryan had Sandler call Nnamdi to convince him to sign in New York during free agency. Now that we know Sandler and Rex are chummy, it’s easy to believe the report.

Weird

Really Sandler playing a kind of dirt bag character? Should be a unique and challenging role for him.

Wow, talk about what a turnoff for Nmandi and the Jets. "Hey Nmandi, it's Adam Sandler you probably remember me from one of my many terrible movies, so how bout those Jets?"

Surely Aso and Sandler have to be buddies or something, or else that may go down as the most retarded FA pitch of all time.

Almost as weird as Nick Saban playing LSU coach Nick Saban from five years earlier in The Blind Side.

Can't wait for the media to make a big deal out of this.




"Where is his allegiance?!?!"

LOL

This movie will be awful. Rex Ryan and Adam Sandler can both go die.

Is this the movie where Adam Sandler has a fat sister?

...that's played by Sandler. No. It said next summer.

I wonder if Sandler will get into a lot of trouble throughout the movie but then everything ends up working out at the end.

Fuck that.
