Ed Reed rips media for Patriots story

Found February 01, 2013 on Larry Brown Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Ed Reed,  Bill Belichick,  Junior Seau,  Rodney Harrison,  Ted Washington,  Tom Brady
TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens,  New England Patriots

Reed will become a free agent this offseason and the Patriots are in need of secondary help, which is why it makes sense that New England could take a run at him.

On Thursday, Reed ripped members of the media for the way they delivered that news. “The bad part about this is that you all ask the question, but don’t write down everything that someone says,” Reed said according to Pro Football Talk. “People only get a part of what the comment was. I don’t have to say much about that. My heart is in Baltimore. The question is, ‘Would I play for Bill Belichick?’ Yes. What football player wouldn’t play for Coach Belicheck? Will I be in New England? Mo...
