The Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers and NY Jets are all one game closer to the Super Bowl. All teams are excited, but Jets Bart Scott took it to a whole other level….
Halfway through the most hyped game of the NFL playoffs and the NY Jets lead the New England Patriots 14-3. Headlines leading up to the game were not about the players but more so the trash talking. Patriots head coach Bill Belichik warned his players to not participate in the he said she said. But Pats WR Wes Welker not only ignored his coach’s orders but delivered one of the most memorable press conferences, referencing feet or toes 11 times, in response to Rex Ryan’s foot fetish scandal. Despite leading the Patriots in receiving during the regular season, Welker was benched for the start of the game!
It what has turned into a he said she said battle for the upcoming New York Jets v. New England Patriots playoff game, Patriots receiver Wes Welker is the latest to take a jab at his opponent. In a press conference for the showdown, Welker made 10 different “foot” or “toe” references. Last month, foot fetish videos leaked of who appeared to be Ryan and his wife Michelle. Ryan neither confirmed or denied the videos… but by not commenting he really put his foot in his mouth!
Welker’s press conference transcript is below:
Instead of watching the NY Jets defeat the Indianapolis Colts 17-16 Saturday night, Tom Brady took his deep conditioned hair and UGG boots to Broadway. Brady and wife Gisele Bundchen saw “Lombardi”… at least the play was about a legendary NFL coach, right?
The Colts and Jets are Brady’s two biggest rivals in the NFL, but he did a good job not to lead anyone one. Brady told Boston’s WEEI, “I actually didn’t know who’d be playing on Saturday night. You get those tickets pretty far in advance.”
The New England Patriots quarterback who makes $18 million a year, kept tabs on his competition during the game, “I was checking my Blackberry from time to time. I wanted to see what the score of the game was….I saw the second half of the game. I got home and watched the second half.”
Hopefully Brady played close attention to the Jets’ defense because the Patriots play the Jets on Saturday in the NFL Divisional Playoff Round.
