Kevin Burnett: "The Pats are very beatable... We showed it twice this year" - New England Patriots Forums

Sorry to take away from the celebration of last night's victory, but I wanted to bring up an interview I heard with the Dolphins' LB, Kevin Burnett, on ESPN radio before the game. He was asked if he thought the Pats were the team to beat in the AFC and he responded that he felt the Pats were very beatable and that the Dolphins proved that this season.

I guess I must have missed something because I thought the Dolphins went 0-2 vs. the Pats. How do you prove a team is "very beatable" when you can't beat them? In fact, the Pats destroyed the Dolphins the first game and the score doesn't reflect how one sided it was because the Dolphins got garbage time points. In the second game, the Pats spotted the Dolphins 17 points in the first quarter and then went on to outscore them 27-7 the rest of the game.

Chaulk it up to off-season hi-jinks....

Some players like to golf, and some players like to make ridiculously absurd claims that they know that mediots will never call them out on. This is one of those moments.

If he was interviewing for the Patriots, he has an odd way of saying you want to be part of a winning organization.

When you have as much free time as Dolphins' players do this time of year, a sort of dimentia seeps in.

The worst of this, IMHO, is that ESPN allows this to be said and he isn't challenged on it. To that point, they don't take phone calls either so they can control the message. If he had said this on NFL Radio or even on some Sporting News or Fox Sports radio programs, either the host or the callers would have called him out on it. Just another example of BSPN controlling the message. And we wonder why the grand populace thinks the way they do. This is controlling medium all that is available in many markets.

We heard the same crap in 01, 03 and 04. Different times, different teams but when you keep winning there isn't a lot of credibility and data to go along with these statements.

The Dolphins are very beatable to. That is fact.

Mr. Burnett was just trying out for the role of the new Black Knight in Monty Python's latest movie...
