According to the New York Daily news, Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie claims the New England Patriots have replaced the Dallas Cowboys as “America’s Team.”
“Honestly, you can’t say they’re not,” the Jets cornerback said Wednesday. “Everybody talks about New England. If they’re losing they’re talking about New England. If they’re winning they’re talking about them all the time. So I call them the new America’s Team.”
Cromartie also pointed out the fact the Patriots are always in the hunt for a title, and refered to them as a “Dynasty.”
“They’re always in the playoffs,” Cromartie said of the Pats, who won Super Bowls in the 2001, ’03 and ’04 seasons but have not done so since. “Every single year they’re coming up and having a chance to win the Super Bowl. When you have a dynasty team like Coach Belichick has put together, they’re always going to be talked about.”
The Jets take on the Patriots this Sunday in a pivotal AFC east matchup where both teams find themselves at 3-3, so maybe this is a form of gamesmanship by Cromartie.
