Not exactly. First he did the try-to-ignore-me thing. Then he did the look-at-me-mean thing. Then he did the I'm-afraid-of-germs-so-I-won't-shake-your-dirty-little-hand-but-I'll-give-you-a-quick-bump-if-you-get-out-of-my-*******-face thing.
It was not nearly as nice as the times I've met Koppen and Wilfork.
Can't they suspend him under the whole "Conduct Detrimental To The Team" thing, like TO or Keyshawn in his Tampa days?
I "met" AD as well. Complete arsehole. Wilfork is an infinitely nicer, different kind of guy.
Wow, what did he do?
It's nice to hear Wilfork is pleasant to meet.
I won't get into it, but it wasn't a pleasant confrontation.
Did you beat him senseless?
All the piling on on AD is amusing. After the inhuman effort he made in throwing Favre, Leon Washington, and an OLineman around like ragdolls all on the same play last year, this board went crazy singing his praises as an unstoppable pass-rusher.
When healthy he's played extremely well until this season. He strength is rushing the passer. Hello? Everyone's b!tching and moaning about the lack of a pass rush and the simple truth is that BB has not used him in the right way. AD is right if he is frustrated about this, just as Brady is right to be frustrated at certain play calls. Who knows, maybe AD wants to win as much as the next guy, but thinks he knows better than BB. The one thing that's obvious is that he has clearly quit on the team.
He may very well be a total jerk, lockerroom cancer, and overpaid paycheck collector, but it's totally revisionist to say that he never did squat for us or that he wasn't THE top free agent LB on the market when we signed him.

I don't blame him for his lack of production. But I do for his lack of effort and his attitude.
Prior to this season I never had a bad word to say about AD. In 2006 he was the FA I most wanted, and never thought we would get, and I was elated when we signed him. In 2007 I thought he put the team above himself, playing the SILB role when we needed him to, and bought 100% into BB's "humble pie" message. I thought he was playing well last season before getting injured.
But this season he's seemed like a different guy, from mouthing off about an 18 game schedule to not making consistent effort to publicly acting like a malcontent. This latest episode isn't an isolated incident. And, as you say, it's obvious that he's quit on the team. That's not acceptable.
The Pats have always been greater than the sum of their parts. This season we seem to be less. I think anyone who contributes to that needs to go, and AD is leading the line right now.
Who is nest?
Burgess?
Sanders?
Wilfork?
The void of leadership can not be filled by PT players, like Seau, it has to come from the starters. Mayo, time to take control and be a man among men.
