It’s been two months since the Patriots won the Super Bowl, but the butthurt from the rest of the NFL might never end. And when it comes to butthurtness there is no franchise in all of sports with a more prolific history of nani-ness than the New York Jets:
ESPN.com: The hostile rivalry between the New England Patriots and New York Jets took another bizarre turn on Tuesday, when the Jets filed a retaliatory tampering charge against the Patriots based on owner Robert Kraft’s comments Monday about Darrelle Revis, league sources confirmed.
Kraft, speaking to reporters at the league meetings in Phoenix, commented for the first time on the star cornerback’s departure. The remark that caught the Jets’ attention was Kraft saying, “I speak as a fan of the New England Patriots, we wanted to keep him.”
This apparently was a tit-for-tat move by the Jets, who were irked in January when the Patriots slapped them with a tampering charge.
That accusation stemmed from owner Woody Johnson, in an end-of-the-season news conference, telling reporters, “I’d love for Darrelle to come back.”
Although Johnson’s comments may have violated the league’s anti-tampering rule, based on the letter of the law, the Jets felt it was a baseless charge because there was no malicious intent.
In fact, Johnson called Kraft immediately after the news conference, saying he “misspoke.” The Patriots refused to let it slide, leading to Tuesday’s counter move.
While the Jets’ filing might be considered frivolous, it may have been done to highlight what they believe was a trivial accusation by the Patriots in January.
Oh for fucks sake. This such a Jets move it hurts. How bad must it suck to be a Jets fan? This is what your team does? Your quarterbacks are Geno Smith and Ryan Fitzpatrick and this is what your team is doing in the offseason? Poking the Patriots? Rock bottom. If I was born a Jets fan I would sign Turtleboy Jr. up for ballet, rather than subject him to a lifetime full of this.
For starters, Bob Kraft spoke in the PAST tense. “We WANTED to keep him.” As in, we no longer are pursuing him. Woody Johnson said, “I’d love for Darrelle Revis to come back.” As in, I am using the media to send a message to Darrelle that he shouldn’t resign with the Patriots before free agency starts, despite the fact that Darrelle is a player under contract with another team. Pretty fucking simple.
The bottom line is, this is the reason the Jets cannot and will never beat us. This is what they do. Is it petty to pursue tampering charges against the Jets? Of course it is. But guess what? This is what EVERYONE ELSE does to us ALL THE TIME. Nit pick. Cry about PSI of game balls. Cry about being outsmarted by perfectly legal formations. Cry about video cameras being used during games. Did the Jets think we forgot who the snitch was in Spygate? Yea bitches, we’ve been waiting for something like this.
Look, the Patriots don’t wanna play like this, but the rest of the league doesn’t really give them a choice. Let’s make a deal. You stop whining, bitching, and conspiring to take us down 24/7, and we won’t nit pick over bullshit like this.

Neither as big a joke as UMass football though- 5-31 in the last 3 years- and in the MAC! LOL!
I’m a Jets Fan and I also live in western Mass, I’m also a Turtleboy fan and I knew the day would come that I wouldn’t agree with something you blog about…well today is the day lol…I catorigize Patriot Fans these days in the same class as Yankee fans…very arrogant but unlike Yankee fans the Patriots have only experienced recent success. It wasn’t that long ago the Patriots were probably one of the worst franchises in sports. The Jets might of only been to 1 Super Bowl but we won that one and did so in historic Fassion. Now it wasn’t even that long ago the my NY Jets had absolutely embarrassed your New England Patroits in the 2011 playoffs….which made me very happy. Yes the last 2 years have been very difficult to watch but it’s part of the process. We all can’t enjoy the type of success the Patriots have enjoyed. As a Jets Fan I wouldn’t have it any other way, all these years of struggle will make that next Super Bowl victory amazing! Turtle Boy I’m sure you also realize this is more then a sport it’s a battle for headlines and all this tampering nonsense is great fuel for the fire which will ultimately make for some amazing football. I also believe with sexy Rexy joining Buffalo and Revis returning to New York we will enjoy some of the most exciting football we’ve seen in a long time. J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!
Keep kicking ass turtle boy! Even though I’m a Jets Fan I still love ya.
How stupid. Has no one in that front office have any sense of pride?
Even the big Jets fan sites are pissed about this tit for tat shit. Grow the fuck up Johnson.
Can we sue the Jets for fraud? They have been claiming to play professional football for a while now.
