While the trash-talkinghas long-since reacheridiculouslevels in advance of Sunday's AFC Divisional Round game between the New York Jets and New England Patriots, it may only be the beginning.
It's looking far ahead, obviously, but if both the Pats and Ravens win this weekend, then Tom Brady and company will be seeing a familiar face in the AFC Championship: Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs. And he's already getting ready for a week of his own verbal sparring, beginning by calling Brady's super Bowl titles "questionable."
"He's got the tuck rule incident (2001 playoff win over the Oakland Raiders) and you got the videotaping of other teams' practices," Suggs said. "It's like "Oh OK what's going on here?' But hey, it is what it is. They won the games no matter how you did it."
Suggs was obviously just getting started.
"I guess it all brews from when I nicked his knee a little bit," Suggs said. "I was like, 'Wow you almost hit a guy and get flagged?' I never knew one man could have so much power."
"Maybe because he's Tom Brady and he dates supermodels," Suggs said. "That could have a lot to do with it. Man, this guy's got the world, he's winning Super Bowls and dating supermodels. It don't get much better than that, rules made for him. He gets to tell the referee when to throw the flag."
