Lane Johnson of the Eagles says the Pats don't know how to have fun

Sports Illustrated

Just like every team who has ever played the Patriots, all they can do after the game, win or lose, is talk about the Patriots. Holy smokes guys. The season is over. I'm already focused on how to make sure we're the one seed again next year (spoiler alert: we will be) so I don't need to hear what some Eagles OT thinks about how much fun we're having.

Here's the quotes: "I just think that the Patriot Way is a fear-based organization. Obviously, do they win? Hell yes, they win. They've won for a long time. Do I think people enjoy and can say, 'I had a lot of fun playing there?' No, I don't. That's just the God's honest truth."

"Not to be reckless, but I'd much rather have fun and win a Super Bowl than be miserable and win five Super Bowls."

I think there is a big difference between having fun behind the scenes while being a professional to the media vs running your mouth whenever you feel like it. Some people came in and didn't like it. Ocho Cinco comes to mind. I'm not saying its for everyone. But don't tell me you aren't allowed to have fun in New England, and I'm talking beyond the winning.

That last quote pisses me off so much because first of all, LOL, no you wouldn't. And second of all, if we had just taken care of business I'd love to know if he would still be acting all high and mighty. I want to hear him say "I'd much rather have fun and never win than be miserable and win six Super Bowls." Because having fun had lit-trally zero to do with the Eagles winning that game and if he actually believes this nonsense he is spewing then he would stand by it with or without a ring.

Anyway, I'm going to stop and let Teddy Bruschi address this, because as always he is much more eloquent than I.
