When Darrelle Revis signed with the New England Patriots last week after being let go by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Patriots haters all over the country groaned in unison. The rich had gotten richer, and now there was a new star in the Boston area that would be joining probably the most hated player in the league, QB Tom Brady.

But as far as Revis goes about the whole situation, he’s more than happy to be teammates with Touchdown Tom now. As a matter of fact, he recently expressed that he’s relieved that he doesn’t have to go against the man that he called the best he’s ever faced anymore.


When with the New York Jets in the AFC East, Revis and Brady would battle it out twice a year on a yearly basis, which was one of the best match ups of the year to look forward to.

Now, though, they’ll be wreaking havoc in the AFC East together.
