Bills' Rex Ryan: 'We’re the only team in New York'

Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan may have moved on from the New York Jets, but he never passes up an opportunity to take a jab at his former team.

Ryan was asked Thursday about participating in WFAN radio's June 3 charity softball game at Yankee Stadium and delivered this zinger:

"Yeah, I doubt they'll still give me (a standing ovation) there. But it'll be good," Ryan said, via CBS New York. "You know, hey, we're the only team in New York anyway. So I thought I'd help out that other city down there."

Ryan's statement wasn't meant to be taken seriously, but he's not wrong. The Jets and Giants both have "New York" in their names, but they practice and play in New Jersey.
