Buddy swears to back Rex in war of words with Dungy

Buddy Ryan has some choice words for Tony Dungy.

After Dungy said he wouldn’t ever hire Jets head coach Rex Ryan due to his foul language, Buddy came to the defense of his son on Tuesday.

“I don’t think he applied for a job with what’s his name, either,” the former Eagles head coach told 97.5 The Fanatic radio in Philadelphia.

Rex Ryan has drawn criticism for his use of profanity in last week’s premiere of HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” which unveils episode two on Wednesday.

Asked about Dungy’s idea that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell should tell Rex to tone it down, Buddy replied, “It’s none of Dungy’s business.”

“The commissioner can do anything he wants to and I think he’ll take the appropriate action,” Buddy said. “I think it’s being blown way out of perspective.”

Besides, Buddy said Rex already heard from the ultimate judge.

“I read in the paper that his mother said he needed his mouth washed out with soap, so I thought that covered it pretty good,” Buddy said.
