The extremist Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 By Kevin Acee UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER October 6, 2005 It seemed innocuous at the time. Marty Schottenheimer was mostly complimentary of the New England Patriots after his team beat the two-time defending Super Bowl champions on Sunday. Advertisement Auto Loan Now But Tom Brady did not see it that way. The Patriots quarterback yesterday said he felt Schottenheimer's comments were inappropriate. "I just assumed you talk about your own team," Brady said in a news conference. "You don't talk about our team. He has no business talking about our team. He's not our coach. We'll let our coach talk about our team. We'll let our players talk about our team. The only thing we ever do is give respect to the other teams because that's what they deserve. They played a good game. They beat us. That's what it is – no more, no less – it's one game." Schottenheimer on Sunday praised Patriots coach Bill Belichick and said he had the ultimate respect for a team that has won three of the past four Super Bowls. But what apparently irked Brady were Schottenheimer's comments that he wondered how New England would survive its latest rash of injuries. Among Schottenheimer's thoughts expressed to the media Sunday: "I just think what happened is you've only got 10 fingers to stick in the dike. At what point does it turn the other way? No one can quantify which injury tips the bowl. You can't keep replacing players. At what point in time are you pushed over the edge?" Told of Brady's barrage last night, Schottenheimer was taken aback. "I don't make my comments with anything in mind other than to say what's on my mind," he said. "I don't know what he could have taken offense to, but you never know. I don't have any comment. That game has been played. It's over." http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/chargers/20051006-9999-1s6brady.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Brady needs to chill. Always kinda wondered if he was a whiney ***** in disguise. First true dose of adversity he's facing after back to back superbowls and this is how he handles it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
