Today I was watching Sports Center (I know) and I could not stand the homerism or stupidity of former New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi. Bruschi started flat when he said that the Jets could win the Super Bowl.
Let me start there. The Jets were getting crushed by an unmotivated Colts team in week 15. Even though the score did not show it. The Colts dominated the Jets on offense and defense in the first half.
I think the Jets will make it past the Bengals, but the colts would just crush the Colts. In week 15, the Colts forced the Jets to punt on every drive in the first half when their starters were in. While Manning found Clark open, and Reggie Wayne figured Revis out.
If you are going to tell me the Jets hold a fighting chance against the Colts you are crazy. Some of the Colts starters did not even play in the first half of week 16. The next comment was the craziest.
Bruschi said the Patriots could beat the Colts in Indianapolis. The Patriots looked awful. They played all their starters against the Texans, and the Texans rolled over them. Brady looked awful, and if the Texans were any better the game would have been over at halftime.
So what do you think Tedy Bruschi is, a homer or a moron? ESPN has done a really poor job of finding former players who know what they are talking about. ESPN needs to get rid of Bruschi, and when they do, please no more Emmitt.
