What you talkin' 'bout, Ellis?



It would appear that the Pats' top cornerback by default, Ellis Hobbs, is a bit perturbed that fans turned on the team and fled the Razor quicker than savvy investors dumped Lehman stock (yeah, that's two Lehman comments in back-to-back days - big whoop, wanna fight about it?). Let's take a look at the cantankerous corner's comments:

It doesn't hurt. It amazes me, amazes me, how people react. You would think that this organization hasn't won as much as they've won and hasn't been successful in the years that they have... Expectations are that high that we're not allowed a bad game or something like that. How many times has somebody had a bad day at the office? How many times has somebody missed a deadline and not gotten in the paper? Missing whatever, forgetting to fix their kids' lunch?... I don't block it out. I accept it. I remember. I use it. I use it as a thing of 'remember this when you are successful.' That's how you keep it all in perspective. As soon as they're stabbing you in the back and they're booing, they're ready to pat you [on the back] again... Things can always be corrected; even when you win, things can still be corrected. We don't have the luxury of panicking like a fan does, to sit there and boo or whatever.

Hey Ellis, if you don't want fans leaving games early and/or shouting shit at you and your teammates, maybe you should keep the armpit of the AFC East from racking up 38 points against you. At home, no less! Football, like every other professional sport (and just about every other profession, for that matter), is a "What have you done for me lately?" industry, not a "We're still psyched about the three Super Bowls you won, with the last coming four seasons ago, so you can get blown out at home by the Dolphins and we'll be cool with it" one. From here on out, quit worrying so much about the crowd and what they're doing and a bit more about running backs with shaky knees rushing for four touchdowns and passing for another, okay?
