Jets’ Ryan sounds off again - on Belichick

CORTLAND, N.Y.—Rex Ryan’s mouth is at it again.

A day after using an expletive during his news conference to criticize his former team, the New York Jets’ brash coach took a swipe at New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

Ryan said during a radio interview a few months ago that he didn’t come to New York “to kiss Bill Belichick’s rings.“ He explained Tuesday what he meant, and might have provided more bulletin board material.

“When I said that about Belichick, I’m just letting him know I’m not intimidated by him,“ Ryan said Tuesday. He added that his team isn’t going to beat a Belichick-coached team by tiptoeing around them, and if an opponent needs a coach’s comments for motivation, “Hell, we’re probably going to kick your (butt).“
