That's the one good thing about GLM not posting that much any more. I'd be stampeded like a straight midget in front of a Twilight book signing.
 
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Sure, the Patriots have often scraped the bottom of the barrel while looking for motivational fodder, but this attempt by the Jets may be the most absurd yet:
Earlier this week, there seemed to be a respect-fest between the Jets and Patriots, with each praising the other’s play and 9-2 record.

Jets coach Rex Ryan, though, didn’t feel like the Patriots were being sincere.

“I know they say we are a great team, and I see the sarcasm,” he said yesterday. “Well, they are going to find out if we are a great team or not, I can tell you that much.”

Asked where he sensed sarcasm, Ryan continued.

“I just sense it, because they all have the same comment,” he said. “That, ‘Well, we’ll just say this and this.’ We’re coming. We’ll show up and see what happens.”

Some of Ryan’s players felt the same way. Fullback Tony Richardson said he saw Patriots sound bites on ESPN and wasn’t buying what they were saying.

“I heard a few guys talking how great we were, and they never give us credit, so that’s a bunch of bull,” Richardson said. “It is what it is. Playing a little Jedi mind tricks, that’s fine. You can talk all that stuff, but bottom line, you’ve still got to play the game. Doesn’t really faze me too much.”

Defensive end Shaun Ellis said the Jets’ experience under coach Eric Mangini, part of Bill Belichick’s coaching tree, taught them to be wary of taking the Patriots’ comments at face value.

“We know they try to feed us a lot of stuff they really don’t mean,” Ellis said. “It’s kind of like, you take it, but you’ve got to look at what’s underlying it.”

I'm not sure there are ties in football? Anyone have McNabb's phone number?

Wow, so Rex Ryan finally cracked the "Pats Speak" code, huh? What a brilliant football mind!! :rolleyes: They say this stuff as if no one has ever realized that the Pats have institutionalized non-speak, and turned "no comment" into an art form.
 
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

The mind tricks don't stop with insincere comments! The entire Patriots fan base tomorrow is going to show up with sandwiches and distract Rex Ryan with his kryptonite: delicious snacks!

So, let me get this straight. When every coach and player, in every sport, says how good their upcoming opponent is and how much they respect them etc., it is all true, but when the Pats say it, it is insincere? Oh, ok, got it.

Let me test you guys:

Hey Rex, you are a great guy, true leader, look great in a sweatervest, awesome coach, have you lost weight?


You make the call!!

Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Well, this has been a good first half.
 
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

Can I say it now?
38-3

We need to get John Gruden the hell out of MA before he tries to steal Brady away from Giselle.
 
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

How long will it take till we hear the whining about running up the score?
 
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

That was a bloodbath. I did not see that coming at all.

My biggest concern was special teams: Weatherford pinning us deep and the KO return/coverage units getting lit up. Could I have possibly been more wrong? :)
 
Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

When they picked McCourty, I remember saying something along the lines of "top corner and DROY candidate." Right? Um, guys . . . didn't I say that? :)

MikeReiss Two different defenders talked about Devin McCourty after the game and how he is emerging as a shutdown corner and the impact that has.
