Patriots Vs. Jets: Jets, Act Like You've Been There Before

After an impressive upset victory over the New England Patriots, 28-21, the Jets continued their "classless" antics in their celebration. 

The whole week leading up to the most anticipated playoff game in recent time, the Jets simply were classless, and a disgrace to the NFL.

With Jets corner-back Antonio Cromartie calling Patriots quarterback an "a--h---," and saying "F--- him," when questioned about him. And linebacker Bart Scott threatening Wes Welker by saying, “Be very careful what you say about our coach. His days in a uniform will be numbered. Put it like that," after Welker's "foot-filled" press conference is nothing but a disgrace. 

With no means am I taking anything away from the Jets victory; they were simply the better team Sunday, and they physically dominated New England in all phases of the game.

But their behavior is disgusting. 

Disgusting enough that the NFL had to "warn" players about their trash-talking. 

Their behavior continued as the game concluded Sunday, and Patriots' wide receiver Deion Branch wanted nothing to do with it. 

“I’m not embarrassed, I’m just frustrated. The embarrassing part came from a few classless guys [on the Jets] after the game. There were a lot of classless things that went on after the game ended.’’ 

From what I saw, Jets players were spreading out their arms like a Jet and were mocking the fans in the stands.

You're a professional athlete, you should not be mocking fans, act like you've been there. 

Branch went onto say, “I’m a champion. I’m always going to congratulate guys. They beat us today. The ones with class, I shook their hands. And the ones that didn’t, I didn’t (shake their hands). You can tell they’re not used to being in this position.’’ 

Who knows what those Jets players were saying at the end of the game, but I can only imagine. 

It's already enough that you'll threaten a player's career or to call a player a vulgar name to the national media, but seriously, act live you've been there. 

Show some class. You're a disgrace to the world's greatest sport.
