Sorry, I have to disagree. The point was not to give attention and complain about what Parker was saying, but to point out he did the same thing last year, which obviously helped this team go on a run (see Brady's comments after the AFCCG). The hope is more people like him in the media will make similar comments and drive this team to #7. If you think the Pats aren't paying attention to this stuff, you are sadly mistaken. Already you have players like Van Noy annoyed by the media's dismissal of the defense because of the below average quality of the opponents.
And again, a few hundred fewer clicks from posters on this board isn't going to do anything. This is not a website like Drudge where millions of people pay attention.
