out of the J-E-T-S this Sunday.

Hey Rex and gang when you finally sport some hardware,then run your mouth if you must.


Rex Ryan offers no apology for Cromartie's comments on Brady

cromartie_0112.jpgFOXBORO -- Jets coach Rex Ryan just finished his conference call with the New England media and offered no apologizes for his cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who in an interview with the New York Daily News used a crude slur to label Tom Brady.

"We're not apologizing for anything," said Ryan. "Did we vote [Brady] to be the starting quarterback in the Pro Bowl? Yes we did. Did we vote him for the NFL Player of the Year? Yeah we did, so there's plenty of respect but we don't have to be all lovey dovey and say, 'Oh he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.' We have a right to our opinion and a comment like that, it's no big deal. A guy makes a comment, big deal."

Unlike Bill Belichick, who doesn't like his players giving bulletin board material to opposing teams, Ryan doesn't have a problem with it.

"In this country you're allowed to have opinions and all that kind of stuff," Ryan said. "Obviously as an organization we respect Tom Brady, there's no question about it. But hey, is there dislike between us and Brady, and Brady against the Jets? Of course there is. Am I going to punish Cromartie for saying something or whatever? No. I know one thing, we respect New England but we don't fear them. A comment like that, it just [shows] that they're the enemy."

In the Daily News article, Cromartie said that the Jets took exception when Brady threw a fourth-quarter touchdown and pointed to the Jets sidelines during the Patriots 45-3 win in Week 13.

"We see that a lot. He does that a lot," said Cromartie. "That's the kind of guy he is. We really don't give a damn, to tell you the truth."

Cromartie said that he "hates" both Brady and the Patriots.

"Everything is personal with me and the Patriots," said Cromartie, who was a rookie with San Diego when the Patriots overcame a 21-13 fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Chargers, 24-21, in the Divisional round of the playoffs in 2006. "So I really don't care. I don't have too much to say about them. I'm just ready to play ball on Sunday."

Cromartie also gave a little hint for Sunday's game plan on how to stop Brady and his receivers.

"If I beat the (expletive) out of his receivers, he can't throw the ball," Cromartie said.
When asked if that was indeed the Jets game plan, Ryan said that the Jets players didn't get the game plan until today.

Ryan is a trash-talking coach and his players follow his lead.

"I think maybe they do follow my lead in the fact that, you know what, we can say what's on our mind or whatever," said Ryan. "I don't say whatever we do don't say this or don't say that. We're a transparent organization. We let our guys speak and we don't try to tell them what to say and what not to say."

BRADY's RESPONSE...I love the last paragraph


Much like his coach, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady isn't about to get into a war of words with anyone on the Jets this week.

Brady spoke to the large media assembly at his locker this morning and was asked if he had any response to the obscenity-laced comments made about him by Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie.

"I've been called worse," Brady said when informed that Cromartie called him an [expletive]. "I'm sure there's a long list of people that feel that way but he's a good player, [Darrelle] Revis is a great player. They've got a great secondary. They're one of the best defenses we face. We're going to spend a lot of time preparing for them.

"What they're capable of doing over there, shutting down the Colts offense like they did, was pretty impressive because we know how good that offense is, but we're going to get ready to play."

Brady was also asked about pointing at the sidelines after big plays and other so-called "antics" as described by Jets coach Rex Ryan earlier in the week.

"I'm an emotional player, so it's all in the spirit of the game and the competition," Brady said. "I don't know [if there's anything to Ryan's observations], he can probably answer that better than I could."

Brady was asked if it was a little more fun to face a team where there is strong dislike on both sides.

"Is it more fun? It's always more satisfying to win," Brady said. "Especially in games like this, not that you need more satisfaction to win in a game like this because it's the biggest game we played all season and I'm always satisfied when we win. I think there's certainly big games that we had against them. The last game at home was a very big game, that was very satisfying, so this one will be satisfying also if we win."

Regarding all the talk coming out of Jets camp this week, Brady wasn't fazed in the least.

"We're spending our time getting ready to play," Brady said. "I don't think we're spending our time figuring out what we can do to combat what people may say about us. Not everybody has great things to say about our team, or our organization, or certain players. And that's kind of the way it's always been so... we're just going to do our talking on the field. I think that's what we've always chosen to do."

Brady said the outcome of Sunday's game will determine if all the talk had any effect.

We'll see," he said. "We'll see on Sunday afternoon at 7:30 p.m. That's when everybody will be able to tell whether it played a role or not. We'll have to wait and see."

The Patriots quarterback was also asked about comments made earlier in the week by Ryan that questioned Brady's commitment to studying the game.

"I do what my coach asks me to do and however he feels I need to prepare, he'll let me know," Brady said. "We try to win games, you know? Look at what we've accomplished over 10 years and I think that speaks to the whole preparation of our team. That's why we play, we play to win games more so than anything else. You're not trying to do anything other than win. The goal of playing football is to win, every time you take the field, score more points than the other team, however you need to get that done, that's what you need to do..."

"We don't engage in it very often," Brady said about all the pregame talk. "Every once in a while maybe someone will say something, but for the most part our team has just stayed the course, spend our time preparing for the other team... We can sit here and say a whole bunch of things, too, but I think we realize it's really not the point of what this team's all about, what this organization's all about, all the way from the owner of our team, to the head coach of our team, and that trickles down to the players.

"Now other teams may have a different view or perspective of how they want to handle things. When you're representative of the organization like the Patriot team is, that's how we try to conduct ourselves."

I think the Pats are going to dismantle the Jets and win by 14+. I also think Rex is handling it all properly by focusing everything on him.

as you all know I'm a Jets fan. But unless they can keep the score close till late in the game, this will be a turkey shoot for the Patriots. All season long if the Jets aren't any further back than one score going into the last three minutes they are finding ways to win. But Brady has been a surgeon this season and the Defense has gotten nothing but better since the Cleveland meltdown. So hoping for what is on paper a good game but they rarely pan out that way. But anyways Go J E T S! JETSJETSJETS!

If the Pats get out to an early lead it might even get ugly. if it's close (14 points or less) I like the Jets chances. they have to weather the storm in the beginning of the game. and they have to score at least 28 points to have a chance. if Sanchez plays like he did against the Colts they wont have a chance.

Pats defense isn't great at anything except generating turnovers, which is a pretty darn thing to be good at of course.

Oh, and red zone defense. They're good at that also.

But third down defense and just sheer yardage given up is pretty much cover your eyes awful.

Dude, if there is ONE thing that has been true during the Brady/Belichick era, it's absolute ownership of the Steelers, especially in the playoffs. The two years the STeelers won it all -- no Pats to deal with in the playoffs. And I'm pretty sure they were thankful of that given the history...

To be honest, I'd much rather face the Steelers than the Ravens next week.

The Jets were able to run the ball on the Pats that Monday night until it got out of reach. and their running game sucked at the time. that was the best the o line has looked all season when they steam rolled the Colts in the 2nd half.

It sucks that we have to wait until ****ing 4pm on Sunday for this one though..lol

And we destroyed the Chiefs at home....your point?

[jettio]

Cromartie is fast and a good cover corner and he helped the kicking game last week when Brad Smith was hurt, but he does not tackle, and a dude that plays soft like that ought to keep his mouth shut. It is not like he is going to hit anybody.

Jets add some entertainment value, but it will be interesting to see if the game is contested going into the second half.

F .. da Pats ....

And I think you're a ****ing ignoramus with the IQ of a cumstain. I addressed a comment about running up the score. You stuck your nose in with "Patriots lost to the Giants, ha ha!". So if the post said, "Brady isn't as good as Manning," and I said, "Brady's better than Manning," would your contribution be "Belichick is a cheaty-cheat!!1!"? You ****ing tool.

And it's not about the '07 SB. I could give less of a shit. I freely admit it was one of the most humiliating losses in sports history. I think the Patriots choked like a hungry Rottweiler going after a guy wearing a steak suit. I think all Patriot-haters should revel and joy in that Super Bowl. But what really ****ing annoys me is people with no debating skills who can't follow a two-post flow of thought. As witnessed by this post here, taking an uncalled-for shot at another website. Go suck a tailpipe.

OMG..are you really 12 years old with the infantile insults and fiber optic skin? you gonna cry because somebody brought up a super bowl loss? this may be the wrong place for you dude. you might want to go back where you can get your self fellatio over at PP with the other cum guzzlers.

Dude! you were talking to her like she was a Chiefs fan. shes a Giants fan and her team beat you guys in the super bowl. it wasnt a shot (but it sure did make you cry lol). but you sure do need to grow some thicker skin. your and idiot

A lot of that came earlier in the year. The rookies have a full season under their belt and improved dramatically, not only on the scoreboard but in the stat sheet. I think CHFF had a blurb about the Patriots' opponents' QB rating, and how it was sky-high the first half of the season and much lower the second half of the season.

Besides, the Patriots' defense only sucks when they're facing a real quarterback. If they face Rapistberger in the AFCCG, I'm worried. If they face Rodgers and the Pack in the SB, I'm worried. The bottom-rated Sanchez, with a hurting O-line? Doesn't really inspire fear.
