Pats’ Deion Branch Calls Jets Classless
After the New York Jets walked-the-walked and pulled off their 28-21 victory over the New England Patriots, the trash-talking between the two teams is still erupting.
Patriots wide receiver Deion Branch describes the Jets team as being “classless.”
“I’m just frustrated. The embarrassing part came from a few classless guys [on the Jets] after the game,” he said. “There were a lot of classless things that went on after the game ended.”
Branch accused Jets players of taunting the crowd and even giving the finger after the game. Jets players weren’t willing to apologize for anything before or after the game.
“Oh wow. Oh wow. That’s a strong statement,” Jets linebacker Bryan Thomas said, according to the Boston Herald. “We don’t have any classless guys in here. Guys are excited about the win, emotions are high. Guys are excited. I don’t know what he meant by that statement.”
Despite the fact that some of his teammates ran straight to the locker room after the game, Branch showed his good sportsmanship and shook hands with his opponents.
“I’m a champion. I’m always going to congratulate guys,” he said. “They beat us today. The ones with class, I shook their hands. And the ones that didn’t, I didn’t [shake their hands]. You can tell they’re not used to being in this position.”
