Raven’s Brendon Ayanbadejo kicks off Baltimore-New England trash talk with Twitter rants

Brendon Ayanbadejo is a special teams’ monster who finds his way onto the football field at times as a linebacker. Thus, he may not be playing defense all too often when Tom Brady is out there directing yet another in a decade’s worth of elite offensive units for New England.

But the fact that he won’t be playing all that much against Brady and Co. has not stopped him from getting the trash talking started. In fact, what might be considered as ‘smack talk’ by some might just be seen as a full-on rant by others.

But wait, there’s more — it only takes a second to break something off in 140 characters or less.

He was referring to Tiquan Underwood, who was, indeed, cut the day before the Super Bowl against the New York Giants. While not generally a widely accepted practice, the organization at least paid the man his title game bonus. That was an extra $44,000 after the Pats lost — not a bad way to spend a day sitting on the couch, but obviously Underwood would have liked to have at least been on the sidelines.

But wait, there’s more — one assumes the Ravens organization would have loved to have seen Ayanbadejo shut his virtual pie-hole at some point, but the smack talk (or word vomit depending on your point of view) just kept on coming.

Next weekend, Ayanbadejo will have all the opportunities in the world to go “mano y mano” with the best and most successful AFC organization in a long time.

As long as he and his teammates hurry up and get to the line of scrimmage, that is.
