What is Cromartie thinking? He goes off on Brady in the media? Not the smartest decision.

Okay, what kind of guy is Brady?

"An ass&*^%.

"F$#@ him."

It fits with the image that the Jets are trying to portray. A 1960's Raider like attitude.

cromartie might be as dumb as Vince Young and that is saying something, the guy is stupid, he will get owned on the weekend..

JETS (Just end their season)

Cromartie doesn't even know how to read I'm surprised he's able to formulate a complete sentance.

You know what he is good at though? Makin babies

[CofR]

Ya, simply ridiculous thing to for Cromartie to say... Jets are really poking the sleeping bear this week.

[Cheerio]

Not once in my life have I cheered for the Patriots, I've hated them all my life. I hate Belichick, I hate Brady, I hate all of them, but on Sunday I'll be sitting with all my Patriot buddies cheering my ass off for them to send the Jets home.

[CedarMeter]

So if Seattle wins and Green bay wins Seattle will host the NFC championship game, that is hilarious!

Man are the Jets ever dumb. Most teams are humble, yet they run their mouth and haven't even accomplished anything yet. I hate the Jets and the Patriots but I respect the heck out of Tom Brady. He was the only QB to call Peyton Manning before the Superbowl win against the Bears and wish him the best of luck. Brady/Manning are good friends off the field. Rex Ryan and Cromartie are nothing but punks.

I feel bad for a guy like Mark Sanchez who seems to be a good character person.

Looking forward to the game between these two this weekend. I think NE will win but not 45-3. I think it will be a 11 point Patriot win. I'll say 31-20.

[habernac]

Lovin' it. Keep on talking smack, Jets.

[flames_1987]

I can't stand either teams but I'm loving this from the Jets. Makes this week so much more interesting then just the Hoody's robot responses. I don't see anyway the Jets even come close this week, but they got blown out and find a way to still talk trash after losing 45-3 to them this season.

Also...Plexico Burress decided to make a controversial comment about a big game Vs the Pats and the Giants won. I think the emphasis put on some of these comments is sooo overblown. The Patriots don't win because they stay quiet, they win because their a better football team.

Keep it up Jets!

Wasn't Cromartie the guy who showed no interest in tackline Shonn Green last year basically allowing the Jets to beat the Chargers. 9 kids with 7 different women in 5 states or something along those lines. I think Cromartie will get burned for more yards on the first pass thrown his way than he has IQ points, and it won't even be for a first down.

Impressive! Those are Derrick Thomas type numbers.

[DropIt]

I didnt portray it as smack at all...

sounds llike Cromartie is just bitching and whining that they arent as good as they tell the media they are.

They act like they are the best team in the NFL week in and week out, which is fine, teams need cockiness and confidence to succeed... but when you get torched and a rival makes an example out of you, then you look pathetic when you turn around and complain about it.

I hope the Jets get torched this week. I never really had an opinion on them as a franchise before last season, but they are quickly becoming my least favorite AFC team in the NFL

This is amazing, my new favorite player

Just when you think the chatter between the Patriots and Jets couldn’t get any sillier, Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker stepped to the podium Thursday as if dared to see how many “foot” references he could cram in to a single media session. Behold:
1. On this week of preparation: “Everybody’s putting their best foot forward.”
2. On young players in the playoffs: “You can’t just stick your toe in the water. You gotta jump right in.”
3. On playing this year as opposed to last year: “It’s definitely different. You know, you’ve got your foot up in the air trying to get the swelling to go down. Definitely excited about the opportunity to get out there and have some fun.”
4. On the opportunity this week: “These are the games you play for. What you spend all year getting ready for and you just want to put your best foot forward.”
5. On Revis: “He’s got great feet.”
6. On Revis again: “He’s very patient, has good feet.”
7. On Deion Branch: “He runs some really good routes out there . . . He’s another guy with great feet and can really move around.”
8. On practice: “You want to make sure you’re putting your best foot forward out there and making it happen.”
9. More on practice: “Us going out there and being good little foot soliders and making sure we’re going out there and doing everything coach asks us to do.”
10. On seeing new things in the playoffs: “You definitely have to be on your toes and make sure you’re ready to go.”
Genius. Since this is clearly the most important post I’ll ever write at PFT, let’s analyze further.
Welker is deadpan as ever with his delivery, so there’s no way he can really be called out for it. A few clues indicate that it’s not just a coincidence. Jackie MacMullan of ESPNBoston.com wrote a great feature on Welker. Part of it is about what a huge prankster he is.
“Put Wes, Matt [Cassel] and Larry Izzo in a room, and they are ‘The Three Stooges,’” Tom Brady said.
Welker got his first “foot” reference in on his first question and rarely let up in his ten minutes of talking. He also appears to be stifling a smile and/or laugh after his two most ridiculous references — No. 2 and No. 9.
Maybe it’s all a coincidence, but we really doubt it. And that would be no fun. We’ll continue to update you on this vitally important breaking story here at PFT.
UPDATE: Since we’ve posted, Deadspin compiled all the references into a 20 second video. Nicely done.

I'm not saying this isnt intentional but if you listen to Wes' past press conferences he says "put our best foot forward" in damn near every one.

None the less. Hilarious. If it is intentional i have no idea how it was done with a straight face haha
