The\u00a0New England Patriots\u00a0won\u2019t be overlooking the\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0in Week 11.<\/p>\n
Patriots quarterback\u00a0Drake Maye\u00a0explained why during his\u00a0media availability\u00a0on Tuesday, November 11.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, it\u2019s awesome, I think it is exciting. This is what we wanted \u2014 night games that give something for our fans to cheer for. I think this is it. [This] is an in-division opponent, obviously some bad blood, always with the Patriots and the Jets, so a lot of history. I think it should be fun and exciting, and it should be a fun atmosphere,\u201d Maye said.<\/p>\n
New England will host the Jets to kick off Week 11 in the\u00a0NFL\u00a0on Thursday Night Football in front of a national audience.<\/p>\n
In 2013, the\u00a0New York Post\u00a0put out a story highlighting \u201c10 bad-blood moments between Jets and Patriots.\u201d<\/p>\n
That list included Bill Parcells\u00a0ditching the Patriots\u00a0to join the Jets in 1997. Bill Belichick announced\u00a0his resignation\u00a0as the Jets\u2019 head coach on a napkin to bolt to New England.<\/p>\n
Legendary Jets linebacker Mo Lewis\u00a0knocked\u00a0Drew Bledsoe out of a game in 2001 that opened the door for Tom Brady to take over. The history goes on and on from\u00a0Spygate, to not kissing\u00a0Belichick\u2019s rings, Rex Ryan, can\u2019t wait game, and the\u00a0butt fumble.<\/p>\n
However, a lot more has happened since 2013 that has added to this crazy rivalry.<\/p>\n
This offseason alone featured Mike Vrabel\u00a0interviewing for\u00a0the vacant NYJ HC gig. It was the first HC interview that Vrabel took. Then he spurned the Jets for the Patriots.<\/p>\n
NFL Insider Connor Hughes of SNY revealed on\u00a0\u201cJets Final Drive\u201d\u00a0that when Vrabel was about to sign his new deal to become the New England HC, the Jets made one last-ditch effort. They asked him if there was anything they could do to change his mind, whether that be more money, a longer contract, more power, etc.\u00a0He declined and joined the Jets\u2019 arch-nemesis.<\/p>\n
Before Vrabel was hired, the Patriots requested to interview then-Detroit Lions\u00a0defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn.\u00a0He declined\u00a0the interview.<\/p>\n
When Coach Vrabel was asked about what he thought of the Jets and head coach Aaron Glenn, he\u00a0was effusive\u00a0in his praise.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see a young, excited team that basically said this is what we are gonna do for our future, and we are not gonna complain about it, and we are not gonna mope about it. We are gonna play hard, we are gonna use our speed, we are gonna use\u00a0Breece [Hall], we are going to use our return units that are sensational, [and] we are gonna play tough defense,\u201d Vrabel said.<\/p>\n
\u201cGive them credit, a lot of teams or people could have been complaining. Hey, we got rid of one of the best defensive linemen in the league, the corner, and everything else. That didn\u2019t show up at all. I saw an energy, I saw an excitement, that jumped off the screen, so this will be a challenge. I know they\u2019re going to be ready to go on the road and we\u2019ll have to continue to prepare and ultimately play well,\u201d Vrabel added.<\/p>\n
President\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0is sharing his opinion on who should be next in line to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n
In a new post on Truth Social, President Trump reveals that he wants Roger Clemens to be next up to bat for an induction.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, NOW!\u201d Mr. Trump\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe never tested positive, and Roger, from the very beginning, totally denies it,\u201d Trump said, referencing the accusation that Clemons took performance-enhancing drugs while playing in the league.<\/p>\n
The former MLB pitcher was accused of using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), including anabolic steroids and human growth hormone, that were allegedly injected by his personal trainer, Brian McNamee. The personal trainer and coach said that he<\/p>\n
While Clemens was found not guilty in court, his reputation in the baseball community was tarnished which attributed to his eligibility for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Clemens has never received the 75% of votes required to be inducted and hit a 65.2% in his final year of eligibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not going to let that happen in the case of Roger Clemens,\u201d Trump said. \u201c354 Wins \u2014 Put him in NOW. He and his great family should not be forced to endure this \u2018stupidity\u2019 any longer!\u201d<\/p>\n
Clemens played in the MLB for 24 years for\u00a0Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees and\u00a0Houston Astros. He earned seven Cy Young Awards, two World Series titles, and the 1986 American League MVP title. Clemens is also an 11-time All-Star and a two-time Triple Crown winner. During his career he had 354 wins and 4,672 strikeouts placing third in all-time strikeouts and wins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
