Tom Brady went on WEEI AM radio in Boston recently and more than intimated that he doesn’t respect the Jets.
On the Giants:
“It was really a great game. I wish we would’ve played better at certain times, but [the Giants] made the plays and they deserved it. And I have a lot of respect for that team because they work hard, and they have a lot of great leaders on that team. It’s kind of a blue-collar team. When you do lose a game, you at least want to lose to guys you respect. And I certainly respect those guys. I don’t respect everybody, but I do respect the Giants.”
On teams he doesn’t respect:
“There’s four letters in their name.”
Those green guys?:
“Yeah, exactly.”
He didn’t say why he doesn’t respect them, but we wonder what good this can do. There is absolutely no tangible benefit from saying these things about a division rival. Whatever motivation the Jets already had to beat the Patriots (and you can bet there was a lot), they have even more now.
