FOXBOROUGH, Mass.-- New England Patriots pro quarterback Jacoby Brissett had started his press conference Wednesday early morning when an unpleasant surprise visitor collapsed the process. It was head instructor Jerod Mayo, and in his palm as he walked on the system was a bright orange Educational institution of Tennessee shirt." What's up, bro? You neglected something," Mayo claimed to Brissett, who was actually taking a seat and responding to an inquiry. "Start male!" Publisher's Picks1 RelatedMayo at that point handed Brissett the long-sleeve tee shirt, checking out as Brissett placed it on. The quarterback said, "This is actually terrible." Mayonnaise watched it in a different way." Amazing. Possess a great one," he pointed out grinning, prior to heading out the door to his office.It was actually a pointer of how university competitions live on in NFL closet areas, along with how traits have modified in New England with Mayonnaise-- that played at Tennessee coming from 2004 to 2007-- having been successful Bill Belichick after the latter's 24 periods as head coach.Mayo and No. 3 quarterback Joe Milton III, another Tennessee alum, had actually created an arrangement along with Brissett, an N.C. Condition alum, last week.If the No. 24 NC State Wolfpack trumped the No. 14 Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday in Charlotte Nc, N.C., Mayonnaise and also Milton will must use a Wolfpack t-shirt in front of the media. The other way around for Brissett if Tennessee won.Painfully for Brissett, Tennessee rolled to a 51-10 triumph over N.C. State.And this was the cost he must pay.Jerod Mayonnaise comes in during Jacoby Brissett's news conference along with an Educational institution of Tennessee hoodie ... and also Brissett places it on as aspect of a deal with Tennessee alums Mayo/Joe Milton after Tennessee beat NC Condition. pic.twitter.com/n7KyDf4xjnu2014 Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) September 11, 2024.
