Its reality, deal with it.

Yeah, around here we're not 100% sure what to make of it.

These Pats teams have NEVER talked about the past, game 1 after a superbowl win, they aren't defending champs they're 0-0, winless. To see Brady respond, especially Wednesday was suprising. Also, I think McGinist said something.

Typically, any response to another team has been via the team "mouth peice" which was Harrison, so we're thinking Brady is trying to step into the role and give the team a kick in the ass.

On a side note, I didn't see anyone talk about it, but during the Pittsburg game when Matt Light was injured the Steelers trainer came over on the field to see if he could help (common to see trainers and docs help each other). Well, Belicheck barked at him "get away from my fucking players" or something like that. Even funnier is apperently the Pats didn't have supplies with them, and then after had to borrow an air cast and crutches from the Steelers. I love Bill, but that's funny.
