BEREA, Ohio (AP) -The verbal war between the Ryan brothers has gotten physical.
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan joked Wednesday that he has taken out a bounty on his twin brother, Rob, the defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns. The Jets visit the Browns on Sunday.
During a conference call with Cleveland’s media, Ryan said “there is a bounty on his (Rob’s) head. But I’m a little concerned about guys bouncing off his belly.”
Asked how much the bounty was worth, Rex Ryan said, “Not much. Maybe five bucks.”
Rex Ryan also took a poke at Cleveland coach Eric Mangini’s reluctance to name rookie quarterback Colt McCoy his starter for Sunday. Ryan joked that he heard Mangini might start Frank Ryan, the Browns’ quarterback when they won the NFL title in 1964.
