WAYNE, N.J. — Authorities said a pro football fan charged with drunken driving after a crash told police he drank too much because his favorite team isn’t any good.

Wayne police said 57-year-old Christopher Greyshock of West Milford was charged after he rear-ended another vehicle about 5:15 p.m. Sunday. The crash came about an hour after his team, the New York Jets, lost 41-10 to the Buffalo Bills.

Authorities said Greyshock told responding officers: “I drank too much because the Jets suck.”

A telephone number for Greyshock could not be located Wednesday. It wasn’t known if he’s retained an attorney.
