Mad Dash: Rex Ryan now driving a huge Buffalo Bills truck

Rex Ryan always goes big. The guy doesn't know how to do anything in a quiet or subtle way. When he was the head coach of the New York Jets, his swagger and unwillingness to be intimidated by teams like the Patriots were calling cards. He even had his wife tattooed onto his body as a pinup in a Jets jersey. Now that he's the head coach of the Buffalo Bills, that tattoo's colors have been changed, but his declaration of love for his new team has gone to even greater heights than some body art. It turns out Ryan got a Buffalo Bills custom paint job on his huge truck. Not just a blue and red scheme, we're talking an all-out Bills logo crashing out of blue and red paint streaks. No matter where Ryan goes in Buffalo, fans will know it's him. So he better hope his team is winning a lot.

Michael Beasley just signed a 10-day contract with the Miami Heat, meaning the days of plying his trade again in China will have to be put on hold for at least the foreseeable future. But while Beasley was in China, he made it count. In a recent interview, Beasley said he immersed himself in a lot of Chinese culture, especially the food. What was on the menu, you ask? Just some "snake juice," lizard, and horse, all of which Beasley said he tried. Who wouldn't want to rush back over to try that out again?

When you think of the ways a retired NBA center could live out his days, the possibilities are seemingly endless. You wouldn't be surprised to hear he's picked up another sport, like golf or tennis. But hockey? Former Utah Jazz big man Greg Ostertag says he got tired of playing golf and was looking for something else to do. So he picked up hockey, and is now obsessed with it. He says he'd play five days a week if he could, but we're guessing the guys in his rec league are probably all right with the idea that a 7-foot-2 enforcer won't be around every day to throw elbows.
