Dolphins Backup LB Crushes Tom Brady's Head in Twitter Avatar, Doesn't Back Down

If New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady values bulletin board material, Miami Dolphins linebacker Chris McCain is doing his team no favors.

The 3-3 Dolphins and the 6-0 Patriots are set to square off in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Thursday night. In the spirit of rivalry week, McCain—who was inactive in Week 7—took to Twitter to have some fun at New England's expense.

For starters, this is his Twitter avatar:

On a related note, McCain's lone career sack came against the Patriots last season.

When McCain started receiving some hate for his avatar, he didn't back down. Instead, he kept going with the "trolling":

New England has pretty much owned the AFC East since Brady took over as quarterback more than a decade ago. It's probably not the best idea to give Brady and the Patriots any extra motivation heading into an important divisional showdown. We've seen what they can do when they are mad.
