Ravens’ Brendon Ayanbadejo takes shots at Patriots via Twitter 01.13.13 at 9:09 pm ET
By

Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo fired the first salvo heading into the AFC championship game, calling out the Patriots for what he deemed some “suspect stuff” on offense. The Ravens will be taking on the Patriots next Sunday in a rematch of last year’s AFC championship game in Foxboro.

Ayanbadejo sent out a series of tweets about the Patriots, including:

    He knows they’re toast. Isn’t that called the “no huddle”? He wishes his QB could do the things Brady does. LOL.

  • Xtazclan8

    Thats sad, lets see what he says at the end of the game next week…

  • Ryan

    you want like Brady when he’s mad…

  • Joborsky2002

    You know Ray Lewis is calling him right now and telling him to shut the hell up or he ends up like the guys Ray met at the club yrs ago!!!!!!

  • Ryan B

    Someone clearly doesn’t know the concept of “bulletin board material”.

  • Sicko

    Typical whiny little btch……

    Can we get a concussion test over here?

  • BREASTLOVER51

    WOW!…Really? He says this when his team won on a field goal that was NO GOOD earlier this year.

  • Monstatroll

    Who cares?! Why do we give these idiots the satisfaction of any attention. The guy doesn’t release how stupid he sounds. Point, laugh, and move on.

  • Boring Media Hype

    Nice….veeeeeeeery nice!

  • Richard Sherman is my beeatch!

    Brendon Ayanbadejo is uneducated hood scum and a basic nobody in this league. What has he ever done??? Keep talkin’ you uneducated dbag. Haters gonna hate.

  • someguyinsac

    What a moron that guy is and he’ll end up eating his words in the end too.

  • Shutiggyup

     He won’t be able to say anything, he’ll be gasping for air after playing 80 more snaps.

  • Riz

    He rides the bench and only really plays on special teams.

  • Donald

    Hahah #bitchassness

  • Fab4ever

    Is this guy for real? He’s kidding, right? This is why Twitter combined with an empty head is a dangerous combination…..I’m sure his coach is loving him right now….

  • Keebs

    That “suspect” thing on offense is called scoring. 

  • Patsfan218

    comming from a guy who has started 7 games in 10 years and never has had more then 50 tackles a season talking alot of trash

  • Captain Obvious

    But wait..The Ravens haven’t even lost yet.

  • Rob_karen109

    This man is slow on the uptake….. He closes us argument with exactly what he’s calling out
    “Really”……………..Brendon it’s well within the rules….so get ready for it

  • S4nyer

    its called “playing football”.

  • Jwb747new

    all games need a clown!!

  • Anonymous

    Ten bucks says Spikes is going to fire a couple shots back. He can’t resist.

  • Jazzbo70

    thats why it is called the “hurry up” offense you idiot!

  • TedSox

    Its called preperation and points out an enormous change between the first game and next week. The first game was played with replacement refs and tempo could not be exploited. Over the course of the season the Patriots have become a well-oiled machine.

  • Brian

    Lol players on other teams obviously respect the Patriots, even the Giants.  No franchise has been close since Belichick took over, all this talk is just to get publicity and raise their personal profile. I don’t get upset by this stuff anymore, it happens every year, and by past standards this is very tame.

  • Achtung14a

    Is it possible the Ravens could produce one player that wasn’t a sleazy, low-rent POS?

  • Typical Boston Fan

    I’m sorry, who is this guy?

  • Pats

    Watch what you say pendejo.

  • Ty

    The Pats went “mano y mano” against the Texans tonight and ran the ball straight down their throats.  Good hard running by Vereen and Ridley all night.  Call it what you want, but quick snapping the defense isn’t “bitchassness”, it’s smart, and if you’ve prepared the right way, that wouldn’t happen as often.  It’s simply taking what the defense gives you.  A “gimmick” is more like what the Jets tried doing with Tebow on their punt team.

    I also love when he contradicts himself, saying “can’t really respect it” in one comment, and then “their offense is good enough to be successful without that”.

    Hey, the Ravens are a great team, and they deserve respect.  This type of nonsense is silly though.  The Pats did a great job of varying the snap count all night long.

  • Bubba

    I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m really starting to enjoy the way this team gets under everyone’s skin! There’s a lot of players for other teams that seem to be obsessed with the Pats.

    don’t they ever learn?

    Just more bulletin board material for the Pats’ locker room.

    Has this guy ever hears of a competitive edge. It happens in everything from business to athletics. If you’re not looking for one then you’re doing it wrong.

  • JakeBlues67

    Keep talkin’…

  • Boston_Sports

    Baltimore Ravens’ Brendon Ayanbadejo will have his chance to back up his mouth next sunday. I’ll be circulating his name on the stat sheet to see what he does. Just like J J Watt wagging his finger. He had his chances in two games and came up short in two games. OH, by the way, Brady has now won more post season games than any other QB in NFL History.

  • Tkillay

    To my new pal Brendon I play the banjo, Anything which falls within the confines of the rules is legal. Deal with it. Maybe your mommy can fix you a milk baba to calm the roid infection in your mouth. After the Pats finishing beating your team down on sunday maybe you can fly back to the nest and start practicing a new instrument…the skin flute. Your master has spoken. Hopefully when you reach puberty you will learn some manners.

    Oh please slow down…we can’t keep up…boooohooooo… You’re supposed to let us set up before you snap the ball…… He sounds like my 5 year old… Classless birdies are going to get plucked!

    Wow you are so funny ! Just another waste of air trolling on weei get a life loser

  • askj

    “Someone clearly doesn’t know the concept of “bulletin board material”.”

    How did that Shaugnessy bulletin board material work for the Texans?

    It’s meaningless. The better team will win, period.

  • mike

    Thanks–what are you a back-up? No worries Brendonyou can tweet some more when your watching the Pats in the Super Bowl..

  • RP2151

    Goes to show you the Patriots are always ahead of the curve. In the next few years all teams will try and duplicate this to no avail

  • TEX

    I’m sure all the Raven coaches and management are thrilled by his Tweets. What a moron

  • Rob

     or called no huddle offense

  • rogerroger

    he probably doesn’t realize how stupid he sounds either. haha

    The double OT in Denver and the tough game against Indy will catch up with them in 2nd half against the Pats.

  • Boston_Sports

    Let’s see what the Ravens do when the Pats run their hurry up offense. No one does it better than Brady. Houston was lost yesterday when they did it. By the way, the Patriots scored 83 Points against the Texans in TWO games.

  • Paul

    He learned from Suggs. It’s just a matter of time before he joins in. They all learned from the biggest loud mouth “Rex”!!!

  • daddy butch

    seems to be able to use his hands better for tweeting than tackling judging by his effort vs the pats earlier this season (0 tackles)

  • Anonymous

    I hope they go no huddle for 4 quarters

  • charleston fan

    no rhodes scholarship candidate here, huh?

  • Matty

    this coming from a guy who has a teammate who covered up a murder investagation, and has a headhunter in ed reed as another teammate.

  • Tridmtb

    Who the hell is this guy never heard of him probably for a good reason the only way to get attention or his name out there

  • Johnny Spygate

    This is the team that Brady ‘su cked’ against last year (his words, not mine).  Not having Gronk gives Tom a convenient excuse.  Pats should win because they are the better team. But don’t expect Tom to be at the top of his game.

  • Browney27

    Is this guy really crying because they won’t be able to stop them? What a dooshbag. 18-1 and spygate were 6 and 10 yearo ago. They are scared.

  • Ha

    His twitter comments are earily similar to those of fans (of the Jets, Chargers, etc.) with inferiority complexes who troll on these message boards.

  • Ha

    For example, Johnny Spygate.

  • Everyone

    What a toolbag.  Thanks for the extra motivation you nobody.

    Who cares?  Noise from the fringe.  Carry on.

    Funny thing is, he actually paid the Pats a compliment in there.

  • Pereirgap

    Patsfan….be ready for it big mouth it will happen to you too on sunday…..Bitch

  • Sherlockiama

    All i can say is that he is crazy to mouth off publicly, all he is going to do is stoke the Pats boiler. Does he really want to do that?

    GO! PATS!!!

  • http://twitter.com/Loretta31 Loretta

    Oh now the Hurry Up Offense is cheating?  Why you doofus?  Because Brady does it better than
    anyone and it is hard to defend against?  

    Just keep giving Bill stuff for the board.  You seem to be forgetting how Brady made Stuggs look last year?  

  • Fab4ever

    Brady will be fine and he’ll put up points…he’ll take what the defense gives him….

  • Jmanning31171

    He’s a clown 4 opening his mouth and ray Lewis can thank him 4 ending his career

  • Jaapc

    steroids effect the conection between brain and mouth….obviously..!

  • Anonymous

    So then Dan Marino’s clock play against the Jets and other get to the line and hurry up offenses are a “gimmick” or “bitchassy”?
    So we now have to wait for the defense to take it’s time to get set and let them see what the Pats are doing and let them get set up to stop it instead of being IN the game at all times and being ready for anything.
    It’s like saying that using an old antiquated way of doing things instead of being innovative is the ONLY way to do things.
    They always say “keep your head on a swivel” in the NFL so why is this any different?
    You need to be ready for anything the offense or the defense will throw at you within the rules and not complain about it if you can’t match what your opponent does.

  • Anonymous

    The thing that really gets me is that that Ayanbadejo is an intelligent guy, was a history major at UCLA, writes intelligently for a newspaper in Santa Cruz on a number of topics and by all accounts is a well read individual so why would he take such an uneducated position on the Patriots offense and not see it for being the innovative offense that it is and that the Pats are merely exposing mismatches which is what ANY successful team does.
    Maybe it was heat of the moment, heck even the most level headed amongst us says things from time to time we wish we had back when taking a moment to reflect upon it.
    That said I want the Pats to do their talking on the field, soundly beat the Ravens and March to New Orleans, focused, ready and bring back another Lombardi trophy to New England.

    Just a side note here but does anyone realize that were it not for a David Tyree “look what I found stuck to my helmet” catch and a spectacular catch by Mario Manningham that the Pats would have 5, not 3 SB wins?
    AND that close AFC championships game against the Colts that the Colts squeaked out over the pats 38-34 which really came down to 2 plays and would have given Belichick , Brady and the rest of the Pats a 6th SB title? 
    You know they would have mopped the field with the Bears just as the Colts did in that SB, man, what could have been!
    The team needs to look forward though, keep playing touch and win their 4th one this season and look to at least a 5th before Brady retires.
    The 4 would tie Brady with Terry Bradshaw, he’s already tied with Montana for SB wins and just passed him for playoff wins by a QB.

  • Cj69x2

    Hope Ray lewis plays the game of his life and puts brady on his back, go ravens! The pats need another hurtful loss, the shine is coming off.

  • Loumet98

    Just play the game & shut the BIG MOUTH!! It’s funny how the Gimmicks work for the Patriots & other teams aren’t successful at them. Yes, the Patriots were fortunate to beat the Ravens last year & the Ravens were fortunate to beat the Patriots in week 3 of this year. It should be a great game. By the way, John Harbough is a class act & a very good coach.

  • Gridman

    Just another jersey number so much higher than his IQ, why would you expect anything else..

  • WILLIAM GRIFFITH

    Like a guy being taken to school on a basketball court and whining “That’s not fair: He’s scoring” Don’t be surprised to see him targeted when he’s on the field, that is if he ever is. It’s always the bench sitters and those one bad snap away from being cut that talk the most ridiculous trash!!!   

  • WILLIAM GRIFFITH

    This is pathetic. We don’t have to look up Brady’s stats to know where he ranks with the all time top QB’s. But this fool: get this, in a ten year career he has 190 solo tackles and 4.5 sacks. Not per year but career!!!!!!! That’s 1.12 tackles and .028 sacks per game. This jerk should get down on his knees and give thanks he even gets to put on an NFL uniform. Talk about a guy who’s worth his weight in sh!t.

  • WILLIAM GRIFFITH

    Ed Reed

  • WILLIAM GRIFFITH

    Take him a few years to get to 80 snaps!!

  • WILLIAM GRIFFITH

    Montana has 4 rings too. 

  • WILLIAM GRIFFITH

    Think Brady was at the top of his game against the Texans?? Didn’t have Gronk or Woodhead for that one. Well just another woodhead.

  • WILLIAM GRIFFITH

    AWWWW! Hey wait, we weren’t ready. That’s not fair, WAH WAH WAH.
