Former New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi must have waited longer than Gambit from Marvel’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” to drop the one-line zinger he savagely dropped on the New York Jets.
It happened during Monday’s episode of “Get Up,” when Bruschi, Mike Greenberg, former Jets coach Rex Ryan and former Jets lineman Damien Woody were discussing Tom Brady’s response to Baker Mayfield’s comments about making football less stressful.
“I think the thing that stood out to me the most during my team in New England, and Tedy knows this, get comfortable with being uncomfortable,” said Woody. “That’s what Tom was referencing. Like bro, if you want to be comfortable and all that type of stuff. Cool…”
Bruschi then suddenly interjected: “Play for the Jets.”

Ouch.
The fact that Bruschi dropped that comment with a former Jets coach and offensive lineman was chef’s kiss-worthy.
It’s proof that the Patriots and Jets rivalry still runs deep even after all these years.
