Telvin Smith Calls Out Tom Brady For Fake Praise Of Jags Ahead Of AFC Title Game

[Deus Irae]

in other words, since the pats aren’t talking, let’s make stuff up

Welcome to the Rodney Harrison School of Motivation

I realize that I may be the only person on this board who has seen "Pitch Perfect 2," but just in case...

Anybody remember the scenes where they're trying desperately to insult their spectacular rivals, but all they come up with is "you are physically flawless" and "your sweat smells like cinnamon"?

"You're too respectful of us" is even weaker.

 

[Ross12]

Basically he’s saying:

“You’re saying all the right things in public but you can’t fool me!! I know you know we suck!!”

Pretty much. But then he ends his tweet with "respect" and a goat emoji, meaning he respects the GOAT... so I don't even get it.
"He's saying we are really good but I know he doesn't actually think we are really good!!! But I respect him."

Exactly! What the Hell is "fake praise"???

"faint praise" like Mike Tyson "Bolivia" only in a screwed up way....
Should have been 'damning with faint praise" Insulting via compliments....

praise faker?

 

[PatsFanSince74]

Can't blame him. He's just making the most of his team's 15 minutes of, well, I won't call it "Fame," but more like "Increased Level of Media Recognition."

In their heads...The fact they are seeking out stuff like that to comment on, is a good sign the Pats are in their heads already.

Some of these Millennials just don't get it.

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

So it's clear the Jaguars learned absolutely nothing from the Steelers.

Ever notice the Pats can't win with anything due to the seething jealousy? There has to be some kind of a clinicial term that can describe this.

"Patsnoia"?

In my 35+ years of watching pro sports, I've never seen anything like this. Ever.

I hate the Yanks, Canadiens, Lakers, Jets, and other annoying franchises, but this is just above reproach in level of crazy.

Some of these younger players don't get that talk means very little in life, whether they grew up using My Space, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram or not.

Well I mean, I'm sure that's true. We all know the team talks up a trash opponent. What they say to the media and what they say internally is totally different. Wasn't there some super bowl night before walkthrough where Belichick spent time just ****ting on the other team?

I also doubt the guy is actually offended.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

ooh, it should be monikered as RespectABull !@#!

I'm looking forward to Belichick saying the same thing Sunday night.

Funny.

"The oldest trick in the book..."

As in, SOP of the Patriots for the past twenty years.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Very catty remarks by Mr.Smith.

Who else double checked this username after reading the comment to see if it was Sammy?

 

[GaryfromTO]

Maybe he should have said this

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

The media insists that the Patriots are smug and arrogant. They wouldn't make that stuff up.

So if the Patriots act respectful, they MUST be faking it.

Sheesh... just ask Max Kellerman.

 

[ErniesPinkStripes]

Can't make this ish up. Jags really digging hard for motivation..
