Ted Johnson just brings nothing to the table. I know he has a strained relationship with Belichick and the Pats organization, but every Tuesday when he is on, it's always not-so-thinly veiled criticisms. This is the guy who, a few weeks ago, insinuated that the relationship between Judon and BB was strained because Judon was working on special teams a little bit. This morning, Rich mentioned that some have compared this season to the 01 season and Ted just basically laughed it off, despite the amount of similarities that there really are. The only thing he agreed on was both teams started 1-3 and got better as the season went on. Wow, what expert analysis.
And Fred (who I love, don't get me wrong) is so anti-Pats, and while yes, I know that's part of his shtick, and he's a Jets fan, it's become even more passive aggressive than normal. He convinced himself the Pats were going to be awful. He was out yesterday, he is back today and does the whole 'Patriots are good, they should be a playoff team' thing he's been doing, but his tone is such that it's super dismissive of anyone who actually does believe in this Pats team a bit, especially with how weak the AFC is looking right now. I'm rambling a bit here, but Tuesday mornings with Ted and Fred (hey I rhymed!) kind of suck for me. Anyone else feel the same?
