What an utter load of crap. The Tory Smith tweets were from STEELERS fans "claiming" to be Pats fans. I've never heard of anyone ever threatening Gostkowski for missing that kick last year vs. Arizona, and the web site you've linked is highly suspect. In fact, I've never seen ANY legitimate evidence of a confirmed Patriots fan EVER threatening a player via e-mail or tweeting.
You're a Giants fan. WHY are you here defending Jets fans? What you're doing makes no sense.
What are you talking about? I added the link as well as the links to the "other" threatening tweets (Gotkow, Williams, Akers) as well. Anyway, more to the point: simply to show that douchebag fan behavior is not the sole province of any one team.
As for Revis, here's a thought: why would he even want to answer some idiotic Jet fan's tweet?
Idiot Jet fan tweets player. Player responds to idiot fan's tweet = idiot fan is happy.
Player responds to idiot Jet fan's tweet. Player = happy? Of course not.
Do you think a Tom Brady would give any idiot the time of day? Of course not. Revis shouldn't have given them the satisfaction of reacting. Remember when Sherman (CB-Seattle) came out with "I'm the man" and took a shot at Revis? Even then, Revis couldn't resist tweeting back. I get the "pride" thing and all, but still....
And fwiw, Johnson the Jet owner was in the papers telling the dirtbag tweeter to cool it.
As for defending, maybe that's the NY in me. However, least anyone forget:
I hope they continue the current trend, go 8-8, and miss out on a top end prospect in the draft.
This is a year where we don't really want any AFCE team drafting in the top 3, or so. Keep the Bills/Jets/Dolphins away from Clowney.....
Spot on you guys. Ending up 8-8 represents no divisional claims, a wildcard/road-underdog at best, and keeps them middle-of-the-pack in the '14 draft and away from the big boys (Clowney et al).
