Why would this elevate them to human?
I find it worse that they partied all night after beating the Patriots. If I were a fan I'd be mad as hell that they were out drinking a week before that Steelers game. I don't really care if they party after they lose. How they deal with that loss, well, whatever. It is the drinking before the Steelers game that is totally unprofessional.
After six months of taking a beating while trying to live up to crushing expectations, all culminating grueling playoff loss, I'd probably drink myself into a stupor too. Not sure what's so bad about this. I got stupefyingly drunk on Saturday night, and I didn't even have (or need) a reason.
Thank you. They have the whole off season and pre-season to address what happened in the loss, going out and getting hammered to help yourself get over it is natural behavior. It's not even like they popped up on The Dirty | Nik Richie + Dirty Army intel, opinions, gossip, satire, and celebrities, they went out with friends and had some drinks. It's not even a sure thing they "partied".
You mean that going out and partying for one night after a big success, an entire week before your next game, is somehow wrong?
Come on man! You don't really believe that, do you?
I'm not suggesting that we go back to the days of Max McGee (scored the first TD in Super Bowl history as drunk as a skunk in SB I, adding another TD and six more catches off of Bart Starr passes that day for a total of 160 yards...he was so wasted that he didn't even bring his helmet to the sidelines and had to borrow one before he stumbled onto the field when Boyd Dowler separated his shoulder early in the first quarter) or Joe Namath (spent the night before his historic performance in SB III drinking and, well, whatever, with some of Miami's finest, ahem, ladies of the evening, arriving back at his room at dawn), but what's the problem with celebrating a victory seven days before your next game?
Was Braylon Edwards in "lockdown" when he got his latest DUI? Was the Green Beans defense in "lockdown" when it ate cheeseburgers on the practice field? Was Jabba Wrecks in "lockdown" while pimping his wife out to strangers on a swingers website? Was the team in "lockdown" while harassing Inez Sainz? Were Bart Scott, LaClassian Tomlinschmuck, Jenkins, Cromartie, etc., etc. in "lockdown" while running their mouths incessantly? Oh, the irony ...
How about at least attempting to show some disappointment for a huge loss? Going out and spending $2500 the VERY SAME NIGHT? When most of the fans were probably heartbroken and chugging pepto bismol in order to be able to make it to work the next day? What kind of message does that give to the fans? Oh yeah, my job's done. AFCCG-ShmaFCCG, I'ma get a lap dance now. If Brady or any Patriot had done this, the entire Patriot Nation AND the media would have crucified them.
I wonder how many Patriots got hammered after they lost to the Jets? Probably a few, at least.
