Tedy Bruschi’s Stupid Beef

Ochocinco wasnt the only one impressed by Tom Brady.

Hey Tedy Bruschi… that was very big and bold of you to get on the radio and blast Chad Ochocinco for no apparent reason.

That was very classy of you to sound like a lunatic and talk about how Chad needs to get in his playbook and stop tweeting. Especially when your average tweet takes about 10 seconds to send out.

By the way, why are you so upset exactly?

Ochocinco said that he was in awe of Tom Bradys 517 yard massacre on the field Monday night against Miami. Since he is new in the offense and has only had the playbook for one month Ochocinco sat on the sidelines and watched most of the action only getting in on 18 plays and caught one ball.

Ochocinco is basically learning on the fly. In the process he’s working with the best quarterback that he’s ever worked with. In Cincinnati he wasn’t used to this type of precision and command of an offense (I mean his QB was Carson Palmer), you can’t blame the guy for showing Brady some love as well as his mates on offense.

In fact the tweet itself was harmless. Brady did put up “video game numbers” as he said and it was a hell of a sight. It was appreciation to one of the best players in the game.

So again I ask Bruschi… why you mad son?

What was the purpose of blasting Ochocinco and saying that he shouldn’t be in awe of Brady because he’s supposed to apart of it?

Who died and made you Pat Patriot?

To expect anyone to learn a new offense in one month is silly. According to all sources including Brady and Bill Belichick, Ochocinco is working hard everyday. Ochocinco is a well known hard worker who is fitting in well with the Patriots and is trying to find his groove.

He’s not on the field because Brady doesn’t have a rhythm with him like he does with Deion Branch and Wes Welker. He knows those guys like the back of his hand. Once Ocho gets it down then he’ll fit right into Brady’s rotation.

Bruschi needs to do a few things; one, realize that he isn’t a Patriot anymore and be professional, two, try being an analyst because you know that’s what you’re paid to do. I didn’t hear a thing on New England’s terrible pass D from you because you were too busy frothing at the mouth over a tweet. Why not try getting better at your job before criticizing others on theirs?

Lastly if you really are “the perfect patriot” then you should know that matters like a bad tweet (if this were one) are left up to Belichick himself. There are two spokesmen for the Patriots, Belichick and Brady, not you. You should know your place in the pecking order instead of popping off at the mouth.

Ochocinco will be apart of Brady’s Madden-like performances in the future and has the right to praise his teammates however he pleases.

As for Bruschi, do us all a favor…. try actually analyzing games and do the job that you are paid to do.

If we want opinions on Patriot players we’ll go to Belichick for answers, not you.

Got it?

Get A Grip James

Damn damn damn James!

I’ve supported James Harrison through a lot of harassment at the hands of the NFL.

 

I’ve thought that Roger Goodell has come down way too hard on Harrison for his style of play, which has led to numerous fines from Goodell. I’ve thought that Harrison has been unfairly portrayed as a dirty player and reckless. I’ve though that he’s been a whipping boy for Goodell and used as an example of what happens to players for reckless behavior.

 

However, if Goodell and the NFL decide to fine him this time, I wouldn’t have an issue with it at all.

 

Harrison went all sorts of crazy in the latest edition of Men’s Journal magazine. In his highly candid interview entitled “Confessions Of An NFL Hit Man” Harrison blacked out on Roger Goodell as well as various teammates of his and the perception that his fines are racially driven.

 

Here are just a few excerpts:

 

If that man was on fire and I had to piss to put him out, I wouldn’t do it (on Goodell)

 

Fumble machine (on Rashard Mendenhall)

 

Hey, at least throw a pick on their side of the field instead of asking the D to bail you out again. Or hand the ball off and stop trying to act like Peyton Manning. You ain’t that and you know it, man; you just get paid like he does (on Ben Roethlisberger)

 

I slammed Vince Young on his head and paid five grand, but just touched Drew Brees and that was 20… You think black players don’t see this s— and lose all respect for Goodell? (On race being a factor in his fines)

 

He also called Goodell such nice words as “Crook,” Devil,” “Stupid,” “Puppet,” “Dictator,” and a anti-gay slur.

 

He also called NFL analysts and former New England Patriots Tedy Brushi and Rodney Harrison “Clowns,” and said that Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing “Juiced out of his mind.”

 

James Harrison wasn't exactly nice in Men's Journal article.

Damn damn, damn James (yeah I just went Andre 3000 on you).

 

There are certain ways to exert your frustration and anguish towards your boss, but the way Harrison went about it was completely unacceptable.

 

Harrison was way off base in his comments, all of them. Do I believe that Goodell has been a bit of a pawn for the owners in this entire lockout? Of course, they pay him. However, there are ways of letting your opinion of him be well known.

 

Calling him a racial slur and a bevy of childish words isn’t one of them.

 

Harrison should understand that this is a business just as much as anyone. I understand his frustration with the fines and the lockout, but to get in a national publication and go in on the man that runs your league was completely wrong.

 

Harrison’s complaints and accusations were unwarranted honestly. The idea that his fines were racially charged would make sense if the hit on Drew Brees wasn’t his 4^th infraction of the season while the hit on Young was his first. Goodell has been just as hard on white players as he has on black players (see Roethlisberger). It doesn’t matter what race you are if you mess up under his watch on or off the field then you will be punished.

 

Speaking of Roethlisberger, why go at him or Mendenhall now?

 

Where was this talk two years ago when Roethlisberger’s mind was off in lala land? Why talk now after he took responsibility for the loss in Dallas and has seemed to make a change in the locker room? Plus why go at Mendenhall’s issues on the field when he carried the offense at times last year?

 

Why not take responsibility for not stopping the Packers in the Super Bowl, you know like defenses are supposed to do? Where was the criticism of poor secondary play, pass coverage, and lack of pressure on Aaron Rodgers? Were we all not watching the same game James?

 

How should Big Ben feel about Harrison after the release of the article?

(Side note: you know what I really hate about these articles? It’s that the guy talking smack always retracts what he says. If you meant it James stand by it. Don’t get all shook once your QB calls you up and asks what’s up. Be the guy holding two guns in the picture at the intro of the story and stand by what you said. )

 

This is the last thing that the Steelers needed this offseason with the Mendenhall tweets about Osama Bin Laden and Hines Ward’s DUI arrest. Harrison’s comments come at a bad time and further hurt the image of what the Steelers stand for.

 

If I’m Dan Rooney I’m at my wits end with these constant off the field issues and I would start reaching into some pockets.

 

In the case of Harrison I think Goodell will reach into his once the new CBA is done and the NFL is operational once again. He, once again, has to make an example of Harrison and let players know that there are ways of letting your opinions be known and there are ways of going about them.

 

Hopefully Harrison learns this lesson and puts better thought into his words so next time he wont come off looking childish and nasty.

 

I can’t even defend him for that.
