New England Patriots vs. New York Jets: Antonio Cromartie Hates Tom Brady

NOTE: This article was first seen at PatriotsPlus.net.

It's clear that there's no love between the New England Patriots and New York Jets.

And, to emphasize that point, on Wednesday Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie let everyone know that he hates Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. 

Cromartie did what usually players do, and spoke to the media. However, he decided to call Brady an "ass----." After calling him an "ass----," he went on to say that he hates him.

A New York Daily News reporter asked him why, and Cromartie went on to say: "That's what I think about him. I don't really give a damn about him. I don't have to play against him. I play against the receivers."

It seems that all of this hatred is boiling over from the team's 45-3 loss on December 6 when Brady threw four touchdowns and completed 21 of 29 passes. He simply tore apart New York's defense.

But, head coach Rex Ryan and the rest of the Jets just don't care for Brady's in-game "antics." They don't like when he points.

I don't know about you, but that's just whining. The Jets are seriously whining about Brady pointing at them after they score and when he gets fired up.

The media went on to ask Ryan about Cromartie's statements: "Obviously, as an organization, we respect Tom Brady, there is no question about it. But hey, is there dislike between us and Brady, and Brady against the Jets? Of course there is."

Ryan then began to whine: "Trust me, they're saying a lot worse about me and others here, maybe it just wasn't printed." 

Either way, if the Patriots are saying anything, it's not printed, and they look like the more professional team and organization.

Wednesday, Brady was asked about Cromartie's comments: "I've been called worse," Brady said. "I'm sure there is a long list of people that feel that way."

He then went on to compliment the Jets' secondary: "They have a great secondary. They're one of the best defenses we've faced." 

Brady was then asked about his "pointing habits": "I'm an emotional player. It's all in the spirit of the game and the competition."

Well, like Brady said, in the spirit of the game, the Jets better get ready for Brady to do a lot of pointing as he picks apart the defense and leads New England to a huge win next Sunday.
