Four days of hype surrounding the return of Rex Ryan to Jets country proved far more entertaining than the event itself Thursday night. Whether he was stung by the criticism of mid-week antics that seemed to draw attention to himself or just was toying with the media, Ryan pulled a pregame misdirection play when he didn't appear on the field during warmups to mingle with his former players and friends in the Jets' organization.
Imagine that. Ryan essentially opted for the silent treatment. He left a crowd of photographers and reporters hanging at the Bills' entrance to the field during warmups.
