Football I hope the Pats beat the ever living sh*t - Page 10

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."

it always depends on Sanchez...in the Pats case...if Brady is picking up 3rd downs they are impossible to beat.

But yeah...if Sanchez plays like he did against the Colts the Pats will win by 14+

He missed open throw after open throw after open throw and almost gave the vastly inferior Colts the game.

Or pulls his patented Manning face all the time.

Spare me.

Hootie · 01-13-2011, 01:44 PM

Meh.

Manning was dealt a lousy hand.

They need to can that whole damn coaching staff...every single one of them. Start clean.

Hootie · 01-13-2011, 01:45 PM

Pats fans don't know how good they have it...and they should cherish the now and Belichick...because when he's gone it'll never be the same...no one can coach like that guy...he's amazing. He's always a step or two ahead of the curve.

Actually, with friends ranging from Jimmy Johnson (annual fishing excursions) to Bon Jovi, and rumors of a really great (though dry) sense of humor, I suspect Belichick is much cooler than any of us ever get to see on TV.

Which I could give a crap about anyway. JUST WIN GODDAMMIT. You can have the personality of a rock, JUST WIN. You can have the fashion sense of a rotting corpse, JUST WIN.

I saw enough great guys lose. Dick MacPherson is probably the genuinely nicest guy to walk a sidelines, but he sucked as a head coach.

If Manning wants to win another SB, he's going to have to get out of IND. That team will not be able to be restored to a SB winner in the highly-productive years that Manning has left.

they need to get rid of that outdated shitty ****ing coaching staff...

Rex Ryan would have been a perfect coach for Peyton Manning...let Peyton and the Polians build that offense and then have Rex build up an actual defense that doesn't play that bend don't break cover 2 bullshit with undersized everyone that ends up keeping Peyton off the field the entire game.

It's shit football...the Jets would get 5 yards every time they ran the ball by default...it's happened to them all year...and every year of Peyton's career...

dude has had the least possessions in the NFL for seasons...some of that has to do with the fact he's known to have 9 or 10 minute drives...a lot of it also has to do with the fact his defense gives up those 9 or 10 minute drives as well.

**** the Tony Dungy tree...what an overrated, shitty, suckass coaching tree.

Heh.

If it could be limited to a single draft, I would probably pull a Ditka to make Manning a Chief. If I were the owner, I would damn near demand it. Imagine the revenue this single player would generate...

You gotta be kidding me -- I know exactly how good we have it. I lived through 2-14 and 1-15 seasons and the biggest Super Bowl blowout loss in NFL history at the time.

Ben Dreith and Tony Eason. Victor Kiam and PenisGate (or whatever you want to call it). Irving Fryar and the kitchen knife incident. Ken Sims and being the "Patsies". Bill Parcells, buying groceries and the "we're playing in the Super Bowl, great, let me start negotiating with my team's rivals about jumping ship". Dick MacPherson and Ron Ehrhart and Rod Rust.

Marino/Shula and Kelly/Levy kicking our ass every year.

DON'T TELL ME I DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD I HAVE IT. I'VE GONE FROM THE OUTHOUSE TO THE PENTHOUSE, AND LIFE IS ****ING SWEET!

I usually go for the underdog, but I'm going to enjoy watching the Patriots plaster them.

Almost nothing here upsets me, to be honest, but this one was irritating.

Don't frigging tell me I don't appreciate how good it is. You gotta be old enough to remember just how f'n BAD it was to know how good you have it.

I have been a Pats fan since I was 6 years old = 1975
I do know how lucky we are. The Pats sucked ass for many years. Ya there were some good years with Steve Grougun ,Eisen at Q/B & Spidyman ,Fryer at wide out.
But never did I see the DYNASTY thing happening.
God the ass kicking I took in grade school wearing my Pats winter coat.
Every kid wore either a Stealer or a cowboys coat back then.
I stuck out like a sore thumb in late 70s.
