Marshall Faulk could use a therapist. He's never been able to let go of the fact that when the Rams were about to go down in history as the greatest team of their generation, they were stopped by the Patriots. Beyond the Rams being denied football immortality, Faulk and company were then replaced by the Pats as the best team of the past decade, and then watched the Pats surpass them last year as the best offense in NFL history. To add insult to injury, Faulk was no longer mentioned as the best player in the game, but the QB of the team that beat him was.
Don't forget that when the Pats beat the Rams in the Super Bowl, part of the game plan by BB was to hit Faulk and knock him down on every single play, whether he was involved in the play or not. Besides the emotional letdown of losing that game, the unexpected physical beating was surely very frustrating too. Then there is the fact that Faulk started his career with the Colts, a team that has also been denied in big games multiple times by the Pats.
The next time Faulk says something complimentary about the Pats may well be the first time you hear anything like that said. Check out
this video from the NFL Network from last season when Faulk was comparing the offense of the Colts and Patriots. Even Rich Eisen and Rod Woodson can't keep themselves from laughing at Faulk for his bias.
