Bills coach Rex Ryan to introduce Donald Trump in Buffalo

If you're looking for something to blame for Donald Trump's potential path to the presidency, you might look no further than the Buffalo Bills. Trump once tried to buy the team (and was outbid), leading him to say last year that he is in fact happy with how things worked out because, "If I bought the Buffalo Bills, I probably would not be doing what I'm doing now, which is much more important."

Now cut to the April 19 New York primary, where Trump has once again tied his fate to the Bills: Introducing the Republican frontrunner to the good people of Buffalo, New York, Monday evening will be none other than coach Rex Ryan.

Appropriate responses to this news include: "Of course," "lol," and, "hey, this kind of makes sense since Ryan is basically the NFL version of Trump!"

There is no word yet on if an official endorsement will be coming from Ryan, but already people are speculating about what might be in it for the coach. For what it's worth, let's just hope Trump hasn't promised him secretary of defense.
