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.
