Rex Ryan participated in a very simple and harmless recreational activity on Friday but that didn’t stop Twitter users from having a field day with it. After it was announced that the new Buffalo Bills coach would jump out of a plane at 12,500 feet over Niagara Falls, people took to social media to either show their support (minority) or crack jokes about both him and his employer (majority).
The result was Twitter getting loaded with comments on everything from Buffalo’s futility to Rex Ryan’s old physique…and even a Brian Williams jab:
Imagine Rex Ryan parachuting five years ago…

Rex Ryan is jumping out of an airplane. He's hoping his chute doesn't open so he doesn't actually have to coach the Bills.

Rex Ryan skydived dressed like April O'Neil. Though given his fetish, the Foot Clan would've been more appropriate. pic.twitter.com/ID5N3FiWkB

Rex Ryan is skydiving this morning.
I'm sure he'll float to Earth as gracefully as a pass from EJ Manuel.
