LT says Rex Ryan told Jets he would punch Belichick in the face

Jets coach Rex Ryan and the Patriots have had a heated rivalry that's only gotten hotter with Rex Ryan at the helm in New York.

We know that there's a bit of dislike between the players. Apparently Rex Ryan played a bit off that with a joke to his team during former running back turned NFL Network analyst Ladanian Tomlinson's tenure.

LT #FTW RT @BrianCoz: Tomlinson on NFL Network: Once before Pats-Jets Rex told them he was going to punch Belichick in the face at midfield

Yes, people, it was a joke.

Let's not get our insecure pannies in a bundle over this one. What else would you expect from Rex Ryan?

Still, a lot of people are going to get upset regardless. Probably a bad move by LT putting his old coach in the spotlight like this right before the team plays the Patriots. While it was a joke, you think the Pats player are going to like hearing that said about their coach? Probably not.

On the other hand, fans shouldn't get upset over Ryan's comments. Patriots fans are the same people that brought cut out feet to the Jets game after it was revealed to the world that Ryan had a foot fetish. Real classy guys.
