Not saying it is right, but if you want to shut the guy up, you need to beat them. At least trash talking after a win is better than mouthing off before a game and then going on to get beat.
But believe it or not, the Pats do trash talk, probably mostly on field, since they all sound like freaking programmed robots in press conferences.

That's because they ARE programmed robots. Programmed robots that are programmed to win then give the press nothing but crums to eat. This year, however, the programmed robots lost some spare parts and clearly need some grease.

Re: Steelers Willie Colon on the Patriots (WFAN 7:40PM)
All I have to say is I wondered why we did not run more than we passed ... in the past that's what we would have done. When Brady was a rookie that's what we would have done ... why we went with the open passing game I don't get ... but ... it is what it is.

According to the all-knowing Tony Kornhole, it's because "Belichick is preparing Cassel for the playoffs". Really Tony? How did you get that little snippet considering Belichick would probably murder his children before he let you in on anything that he is doing?

Watching Welker talk--completely deadpan--about how he, not Stallworth, was supposed to be the emergency QB, and seeing the press take him as if he were absolutely serious. . . . priceless.

He didn't call out any of our players specifically, he didn't call out Belichick or the coaching staff ala L.T., he didn't call out Kraft, and he didn't call out the fans. He basically said what happened: the Steelers scored before the half was over, we didn't, and their #1 rated defense smelled blood in the water. Sorry, but I don't consider that trash talk. Now, if you want to talk about winning with courtesy then yeah, I'm with ya. But to call that trash talk simply borders on the ridiculous.
I guess I just disagree with his "we saw it in their eyes" crap. When the Pats beat a team that turned the ball over 5 times, I'm figuring, to a large part, that team self destructed. This "we saw the fear in their eyes" crap is a little much.

He then went on to clarify: It is a team philosophy. We bring teams into deep water and let them drown.
What a tool. If the Pats score before the half or if Slater doesn't fumble a kick off (nothing to do with the Steelers drowning the Pats), who knows how things would have turned out. I'd love to meet them again with a couple of players back from injury.
Has anyone ever (or at least since BB has been here) heard a Patriots player say anything remotely like this disrespectful garbage about a team they've just defeated? Or am I getting that selective memory thing?
