Rex Ryan, recently deposed as coach of the New York Jets, was named coach of a new NFL team, the Buffalo Bills, this week.

The Bills held its introductory press conference for Ryan in Buffalo on Wednesday, and -- um, well, you see -- he's apparently "salivating to get his hands on that D."

"That D," of course refers to defense, but to the 12-year-old in all of us, it means other things as well. So when a reporter at Wednesday's event asked Ryan, "How much are you salivating to get your hands on that D?" the Internet -- bastion of maturity that it is -- couldn't resist going giggity. Behold the golden moment:

Was the unidentified reporter just trolling? Or was it a well-meaning question that those of us with less maturity (*raises hand*) took and ran with? Either way, Ryan didn't seem to bat an eye.

Contrast that with another recent classic moment in sports journalism, when the Warriors' Klay Thompson -- who is nearly 30 years Ryan's junior, and much more tuned in to popular culture -- couldn't keep a straight face after a Golden State sideline reporter asked him how much he "feeds off of the D."

In conclusion: giggity.
