Jets' Aaron Rodgers says Giants' Jihad Ward making stuff up

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The war of words between the New York Jets and New York Giants escalated Thursday, with Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers firing back at Giants outside linebacker Jihad Ward.

"He thought we were laughing at his teammate? That never happened and I think he's making s--- up," Rodgers said. "I don't care."

On Wednesday, Ward took umbrage at Rodgers and the Jets, accusing them of laughing after Randall Cobb laid out safety Bobby McCain with an illegal, blindside block that left him with a concussion in Saturday's preseason game.
