Tony Kornheiser- "Smug Patriots"?
 
In the Washington Post on 1/30 Kornheiser refers to the Patriots as smug. What a strange adjective to apply to this team. Does this make sense to anybody?
Kornheiser's quote follows:
"everybody likes the Steelers. They aren't easily hateable like, say, the Cowboys or the Giants or the smug Patriots."

I thought he was a Patriots fan.......it must just be part of his PTI schtick. I don't think the team is smug, but when BB is happy, he doesn't smile, he smirks, maybe that is what Kornheiser is talking about?

First it was, they don't have any stars, then it was they are so boring, now they are smug. Whatever. Let the media say what they want.
Smug, hmm...what part of the Patriots is smug?
Do you really think he meant BB's facial expressions? :confused:

Tony Kornheiser is not a Patriots fan, but he was one of the only guys who gave them their proper due last year. I would say he's mostly a Redskins fan, given that he writes for the Washington Post. Also, I don't know a single serious football fan who takes anything he says remotely seriously. Even his Post column now has been reduced to a paragraph where he says a few smart aleck things and nothing at all insightful.

I would classify that as Beli-dissed or Belismacked.

Rumor has it, they Kornheiser will join espn mnf team.. I think he is ok, I never thought he was anti Patriots..

PTI is the best show out there. Tony is a Redskin fan and Wilbon is a Bears fan. So he called the Pats smug, i really do not think that is something to get all wrapped around the axle about. If you think about it...the Pats as an organization and we as fans have become a bit smug over this great dynasty.

Smugness is a privilege that comes with success. It's the quiet version of c*cky. Ever seen a smug 4-12 team?
