On my way to the gym this AM I listened to EEI's new FM station. Troy Brown & Christian Fauria (Mrs Bruschi's illicit hearthrob) were on. They were talking about problem Patriots team mates of the past.

JR Redmond was mentioned but I had tuned in too late to hear the details. Brown said Dexter Reed was an all around bad guy on the field and off the field. Both ex-players chucked about how extremely bad Steve Martin (our 2002 run stopper FA) was in the locker room and elsewhere. Brown reminised about how Bethel Johnson was a legend in his own mind. Always whining that he should "start" and one game Pats in Miami BJ catches a long pass right off then takes himself outa the game with a hammy. Next day Troy said that Johnson was "running around fine playing grab ass with the guys on the field". Brown said he'd take guys like Bethel aside and try to talk sense into them but failed. Said that David Patten had the patience of a saint but finally threw up his hands with Bethel and BB at last got rid of him. The players felt that management was slow on the draw compared to their peers.

Pretty interesting segment, most of which I missed. Anybody else hear this? It's unusual to hear players frankly trash former players, especially guys who were on their own team.

It is a lot easier when you're retired and mostly talking about scrubs.

Troy Brown is morphing into one of my new media favorites.. he is starting to come to his own.

I heard the very end of it. Troy is pretty candid about this type of stuff. During the summer he was on WEEI with Dale Arnold when Dale was subbing for someone and he (Troy) predicted that Brandon Tate was in danger of being cut 1) due to the new kick-off spot and 2) because he didn't seem inclined and/or capable of learning what was needed to become a good receiver.

He also pretty much trashed Chris Canty, a Pats' early round draft pick of some years ago. He related a story about how one day in camp he continuously ran circles around Canty and it was so bad that Troy went to one of the coaches afterwards and said something to the effect of, "This guy (Canty) is so bad that it does me no good to be going against him in practice." It was damn interesting.

I hope that WEEI puts it up on their site.. I'd love to listen to it..

Back in the old Smithfield summer camp days I stood on the grass right next to #1 pick Canty. He was a dwarf and I'm 5'9" 188 LBS Welker/Branch sized. He had really skinny calves. The seemingly big head on a scrawney body didn't help. Seeing Canty stand next to Ty Law who was really muscular was a shocking comparison. Our worst #1 since Ger Schwedes.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

You say that like it was a positive.
