Losing is a hard pill to take and Wes Welker’s wife Anna went the sore loser route and trashed Ray Lewis on her facebook page. She posted:
“Proud of my husband and the Pats. By the way, if anyone is bored, please go to Ray Lewis’Wikipedia page. 6 kids 4 wives. Acquitted for murder. Paid a family off. Yay. What a hall of fame player! A true role model!”
Way to stay classy there. Of course this isn’t the first time a Partiots wife got salty after a loss. I’m sure that someone in the Pats organization was watching the post and got word because she issued and apology statement via sports blog Larry Brown Sports:
“I’m deeply sorry for my recent post on Facebook.” “I let the competitiveness of the game and the comments people were making about a team I dearly love get the best of me. My actions were emotional and irrational and I sincerely apologize to Ray Lewis and anyone affected by my comment after yesterday’s game.
“It is such an accomplishment for any team to make it to the NFL playoffs, and the momentary frustration I felt should not overshadow the accomplishments of both of these amazing teams.”
Of course this is the new way of the world. Say something offensive and then apologize and walk it back. Here a suggestion next time you’re on Facebook, Twitter or whatever and you want to get something off your chest, write it out and then delete it!
