I'm actually a little surprised (and embarrased) by what Brady and Gay said. I'm very shocked Brady said "we wanna kill teams" , that was so un-Brady like. Nobody in any sport has ever said anything like that, they may think it, but they never say it. I think Belichick should talk to Brady and Gay, and tellem both to STFU. I'm sorry, I'm the biggest Pat's fan out there, but there is no need to say the things both of them are saying. Gay is another story, how dare he say the opponent's D shouldn't be paid, just because they gave up 56 doesn't mean they weren't trying. It just turns out that Buffalo just isn't nearly as talented as the Pats. Flame away fellas (and ladies), but this is just how I feel. Out of context or not, I heard both of them say these words.
OK, here's a sample of things he should have said...
"Gee whiz, I thought, really thought, the whole point of the game was to score points! Oh, well, I'll talk to coach about it."
"It really, really bothers me that we're not 5-5, or maybe even 4-6."
"You know, you gentlemen may have something there. I'm gonna talk to Randy and Donte and Wes and see if we can't arrange it so they'll drop a few passes here and there, ya know, just so we get invited to the post-game beerfest and can mingle without having a lot of tension in the room."
"I have absolutely no intention of 'killing the other team'. Cripes, that would be akin to killing puppies!"
"Since everyone in the league makes pretty much the same money, I guess it's a good idea that we all have pretty much the same records, and pretty much the same points-for totals and points-against totals. That would undoubtedly do a lot to expand the popularity of the league."
"It's obvious to me, and has been for some time now, that what the NFL is really all about is mollifying sports writers and TV talking heads. Frankly, I don't know what's gotten into us, but you can bet your bottom dollar that that's going to stop - pronto!"
"I've got to admit all this whoop-de-doo about our games brings back memories of my rather painful youth, when I'd come home from playing football with the guys with big grass stains on my jeans. My God, how my mother used to blow up over that! Yeah, that's what this reminds me of, and to tell you the truth, I'm feeling kinda guilty right now."
There have been a bazillion threads on tis subject, with some pretty good explanations of what's really going down here, and it's obvious you haven't read any of them. You're the "
biggest Pats fan out there"? If you were watching the game(s) at my house, and pulled this crap, I'd throw you out of the house!
Just my $.02...
