    Before the New England Patriots even had finished off the Houston Texans in Sunday's AFC divisional playoff game, Brendon Ayanbadejo already was unloading shots on Twitter about Tom Brady and Co.

    "New England does some suspect stuff on offense," the Baltimore Ravens linebacker tweeted. "Can't really respect it. Comparable to a cheap shot b4 a fight"

    Cheap shot before a fight?

    "Are you watching the game pats vs texans?," Ayanbadejo continued. "If so you see the hurry snap offense catch em b4 they set up. It's a gimmick.

    That very well could be the case, but it was working against Houston. So as gimmicky as it might be, if it ain't broke ...

    "Their offense is good enough to be successful with out that," he tweeted.

    And by saying that, Ayanbadejo is laying out a challenge in a roundabout way: No bull, let's go toe to toe.

    Just when it seemed like Ayanbadejo was ready to finish there, he was far from it. In fact, he proceeded to drop a some bombs on the Patriots with a trio of doozies, beginning with this:

    You know the same organization that did spygate and cut a guy the day b4 the Super Bowl

    And then simply:

    18-1

    Followed by:

    In a sport that is predicated on mano y mano, " lets hurry up n snap it " = b*tcha**ness

    Well, all right, then. Ayanbadejo invoking Spygate, the 2007 season and daring the Patriots to go toe-to-toe with the Ravens. Is it a wise move? Probably not, and we wonder how Ray Lewis feels about this.

    The Ravens edged the Patriots 31-30 back in Week 3 in Baltimore in a wild game. The AFC Championship Game ought to be just as good.
