PITTSFORD, N.Y. – coach Rex Ryan ate a canine biscuit Thursday – after which one other – as a part of a marketing campaign by the Erie County (New York) Society to Forestall Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to boost consciousness about animal cruelty.

This isn’t a euphemism, or some weird homage to the Hard Knocks “Let’s eat a g–ed snack!” one-liner, but Ryan actually eating, you know, a dog biscuit.
Now a lot more people are aware of the Erie County SPCA’s cause and that’s undoubtedly a good thing, but it also raises the question of what else we can get Rex Ryan to eat for a good cause.
“I never realized there are five calories in these bad boys and when I open them up I’m like these are a little small”, Ryan said.
“Here we go. I’ve got the milkbone, ” Ryan said.
As Ryan was chewing, he said, “Oh, this is terrific”, and then popped a second one in his mouth.

Though Ryan is top dog on the field, Terry Pegula is his boss. “I had the lap band [surgery], [so it] can’t be the big ones, the large ones”. That didn’t stop the Bills head coach from challenging Pegula, who accepted and ate the dog biscuit. Pegula completed the challenge and has challenged Bills star defensive tackle Marcell Dareus.
