Antonio Cromartie is About to Eat his Words.

Antiono Cromartie and Rex Ryan can talk all they want, but when the game starts Sunday none of that matters.
When Jets corner-back Antonio Cromartie was asked what type of person Tom Brady is, Cromartie had only one word, "He is an asshole."  Tom responded back with a typical mundane Brady-like comment, "I've been called worse.  I'm sure there is a long list of people that feel that way."  What the Patriot quarterback said is definitely true, but that is not what he wanted to say.  Tom Brady has always given bland comments to interviewers as responses to tricky or trap questions.  He lets his play do all the talking for him, and does not give them an opportunity to critique his every word.  Tom Brady might not be your favorite athlete in the world, but you must admit one thing: he knows how to handle the media.
Tom Brady threw 4 TDs and 0 INTs in the Patriots 45-3 rout of the Jets on December 6th.

These two teams will be battling it out for the third time this season on Sunday.  The first two matches were split, but the last one was about as one-sided as a game can get.  Only a little bit more than a month ago, December 6th, the Jets got obliterated playing on the road at Gillette Stadium 3-45.  No, the 3-45 score was not a typo.  When a team loses that badly, every single aspect of their game, offense, defense, special teams, and coaching takes a part of the blame.

The Jets win against the Patriots all the way back on September 19th was a fluke.  The Patriots had just traded away head-case Randy Moss, and were only starting to find their new identity.  When the teams faced-off for a second time in the season, the progress of the Patriots revamped offense absolutely showed.

It does not matter how disrespectful the Jets players thought the Patriots were in their last victory.  The Patriots are the far better team.  Rex Ryan and Antonio Cromartie are only giving the Pats bulliten-board material with their smack talk.  Tom Brady & Co. make the Pre-Season Super Bowl favorites go home early: Patriots 34-24.
