Donald Trump will be receiving a Rex Ryan-styled welcome to Buffalo.
The Buffalo Bills coach said he will introduce Trump at the Republican presidential candidate’s rally at Buffalo’s First Niagara Center on Monday night.
Ryan stopped short of endorsing Trump. Instead, Ryan said he was 100 percent behind New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who has since exited the race.
Ryan said he and Christie are close and referred to himself and Christie as “the Lap-Band of brothers,” because both have had the weight-loss procedure.
There had once been a chance that Trump could have been Ryan’s boss in Buffalo. Trump was a finalist to purchase the Bills in September 2014. The New York City real estate mogul was outbid by Terry and Kim Pegula, who purchased the Bills for an NFL-record $1.4 billion.

Buffalo gal here.
Love the bills. Love my mets. Both have broken my heart, often. But last year they showed metal. Expect even better this year.
Am eternally grateful trump is nowhere near the bills, and only came to buffalo to bluff some voters, then toodled off!
Hopefully he won’t return!

Good, go vote for a liar like Hil-liar-y or an old Socialist.
Jehilliker says
All they had to do was look to see where hillary didn’t do well the last time she tried. Then redirect as many of the registered voters to other parties, or purge them!

What has Rex Ryan really won, Donald?
