How many here are bothered by Rodney's 'We' - New England Patriots Forums

I loved Rodney when he was here and he was an intricle part of this teams championship seasons but he is now retired and belongs to NO teams roster anymore.

Is it just me? or do others feel like I do and wish he would stop with the 'We' will win stuff?

Rodney,You have a job to do and need to quit with the 'we' stuff,you are not a Patriot anymore and need to be a bit more unbiased and just predict the games as any other analyst would - Bruschi has become good at not emphasizing his favorite team now and Rodney should follow suit.

Who agrees with this?

Dungy said it last night too

I don't agree at all.

I love that he still considers himself a Patriot.

To answer your question: not no, but HELL NO it didn't bother me...esspecially after Dungy made no attempt to give Brady credit for anything. At least Rodney gave Manning props and respect...didn't see the same from Dungy. Dungy is so deep in Manning's jock it's rediculous.

Actually Dungy was pushed to show his favoritism,Its not like he said 'we' will win like Rodney did...they also asked him who he would rather have Peyton or Brady and of course he would have to answer Peyton...it was a retarded question to ask people who obviously have ties to thier former team...but the 'we' stuff bothers me.

They both have way too strong ties to their former team,maybe thats why games like NE against Indy should have these guys take the night off and get some unbiased views,I would love guys like Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms doing shows like there,those guys are the best in the business.

It's understandable, having been a Pat for so long, and recently released. Also, you gotta look at the situation. Rodney looked as upset as I was last night during his piece.

I have no problem with Rodney still refering to himself as part of the team.

***MoLewisrocks*** · 11-16-2009, 11:23 AM

Marshall Faulk and Shannon Sharpe and Bill Cowher and on and on... There are no truly unbiased views in sports media...

Quit picking on Rodney. It's the first time in a decade we have a couple of guys in our corner, so to speak, and while they still love this team they at least call it like they see it, even when it pains them.

I'm more annoyed when fans who have never been a contributing part of this team play the we card incessantly.
