Giants owner tweaks Tebow, Jets

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Fresh off another Super Bowl win, Giants owner John Mara couldn’t resist a dig at the Jets and Tebowmania yesterday.

Asked if New York was big enough to handle both the Giants and Tim Tebow, Mara joked the Jets wouldn’t be the only local team holding a press conference today to announce the signing of a backup quarterback.

“I don’t know [if the city is big enough], but the David Carr press conference will be tomorrow afternoon, too,” Mara said upon arriving at the NFL meetings.

Jets owner Woody Johnson didn’t respond to the poke from his local rival, but Rex Ryan did.

“You can say anything you want, because they’re world champions,” Ryan said. “That’s all fine and dandy. … They accomplished what I wanted to, but instead of being the best team in New York, they were the best team in football. But we’ll take a swing at them.”
