Rex Ryan wears Clemson helmet to press conference, trolls Jets safety
As usual, Rex Ryan’s Tuesday morning press conference was an experience, as the always entertaining Bills coach turned up in a Clemson football helmet and let loose on everything from the top-ranked Tigers to Ryan Fitzpatrick’s beard.
Ryan stepped to the podium wearing the helmet in support of his son Seth, who plays for the team.

Ryan then proceeded to put on a show.
Rex: "Since there's nothing to talk about and you can only write what I say, let's talk about Clemson."

Ryan was inevitably asked about the response to his naming of IK Enemkpali as a captain for Buffalo’s upcoming game against the Jets, saying he was “shocked” by the reaction and that it was “never a thing of disrespect.” Ryan also let everyone know that he’s not terribly fond of Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick’s choice of facial hair.
More Rex on Fitz: "Right now, the thing's that disappointing to me is that beard. He's not a real handsome kid."

Naturally, Ryan’s antics were making the rounds everywhere, and Jets safety Calvin Pryor took note.
The guy does anything for attention ?

Since Ryan was still speaking, a reporter was able to ask him for a rebuttal, and it was priceless.
Rex on Pryor's tweet: "He's right. What else am I going to do? Just stand up here. He's mad because Clemson put it on Louisville again."

Well done, Rex. You showed him.
