New York Jets coach Rex Ryan has heard more than a few jokes about his weight. A New York Post article may explain why. The piece says that Rex Ryan eats a staggering 7,000 calories a day. With a diet like that, it's no wonder that some fans focus on Rex Ryan's weight as much Kansas fans harped on Mark Mangino.

So how much does Rex Ryan weigh? According to the piece, Rex Ryan weighs 350 pounds. Coach says he started a diet earlier this season, but eventually gave up. He's since gained weight since joining the Jets, in part because of all the good Italian restaurants in the area.

The revelations that Ryan eats 7,000 calories a day may make for a few Rex Ryan fat jokes, but some are genuinely concerned about Rex Ryan's health.

That's the main concern here. We're not making fun of the man's size because we only care about it as it affects his health. We could care less if Ryan was fat or skinny or if he wore polka dot jodhpurs and a monocle on the sideline. We just want him to be on the sideline leading the Jets for a long, long time and, frankly, we're a little worried about that after reading about his gustatory likes and dislikes.
