Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs reignited his personal feud with the Patriots Tuesday, and drew a swift -- and scathing -- response from ex-Patriot Troy Brown.
In response to Suggs' comments that the Patriots' "championships are fake" -- an obvious reference to Spygate -- Brown turned his wrath on Suggs:
"This is the same guy who gave up, what, a 20-point lead to the Patriots a few weeks ago? (EDITOR'S NOTE: The Ravens blew a 20-10, fourth-quarter lead in losing to the Pats in overtime at Gillette Stadium on Oct. 17.) 'The best defense alive,' and that type of thing?
"He's been overrated for a long time. He's benefitted from playing with Ray Lewis and Ed Reed and all those guys."
Since the Ravens moved to Baltimore in 1996, they're 1-6 against the Patriots . . . and are 1-4 in games that Brady has played.
"There's no way you can call a championships fake, for whatever reasons he wants to do that," said Brown. "He's a Joey Porter-type guy [referring to the mouthy ex-Steelers linebacker who claims the Patriots 'cheated' him out of championships in Pittsburgh] . . . Pent-up frustration, for whatever reason.
"[Suggs is] really frustrated because he has to go through New England or Pittsburgh or one of those teams they have trouble beating, to get to where he wants to be. And he's taking it out on the Patriots, for some reason."
