Presidential candidate Jeb Bush says he has ‘too many Bills’ on fantasy team
The presidential election is still more than a year away, but candidates on both sides of the aisle are having their words parsed at every stop.
That applies to fantasy football, too.

Yes, Jeb Bush the Republican candidate and former Florida governor was asked about his fantasy squad during a chat on Twitter and he responded with a taste of his lineup — and perhaps his football allegiance, too.

Even keeping in mind Twitter’s stringent 140-character limit, Bush lists one Bills player: LeSean McCoy. So many questions here …
How many Bills are we talking here? Is Tyrod Taylor one of them? Is Rex Ryan a former donor to Bush’s campaign?
If so, Rex might be bailing. Clearly, Bush is a Sunshine State guy, and his Doug Martin ownership backs that up somewhat. But is he a Miami Dolphins fan, too? Bills fans have questions they demand be answered — and they won’t want to hear him hedge on the issue until October 2016 if Bush can hang in the race all the way.
One more thought: Was this a (very) subtle knock at Donald Trump, who put in a bid — but was shooed away summarily by fans — for the Bills franchise when it went for sale? If so, perhaps Bush’s political savvy runs deeper than we originally realized.
