FOXBOROUGH, Mass.-- New England Patriots pro quarterback Jacoby Brissett had started his news conference Wednesday early morning when a shock visitor crashed the proceedings. It was head instructor Jerod Mayonnaise, and in his hand as he walked on the platform was a vivid orange University of Tennessee tee shirt." What's up, bro? You forgot something," Mayo claimed to Brissett, that was actually sitting down as well as addressing a concern. "Come on guy!" Publisher's Picks1 RelatedMayo then handed Brissett the long-sleeve tshirt, viewing as Brissett put it on. The quarterback stated, "This is horrendous." Mayonnaise watched it in different ways." Wonderful. Have an excellent one," he claimed grinning, before heading out the door to his office.It was actually a suggestion of exactly how university competitions live on in NFL storage locker spaces, and also how factors have altered in New England with Mayonnaise-- who played at Tennessee from 2004 to 2007-- having prospered Bill Belichick after the latter's 24 periods as head coach.Mayo and also No. 3 quarterback Joe Milton III, one more Tennessee alumnus, had created an agreement with Brissett, an N.C. Condition alum, last week.If the No. 24 NC State Wolfpack beat the No. 14 Tennessee Volunteers on Sunday in Charlotte Nc, N.C., Mayonnaise and Milton would certainly need to wear a Wolfpack shirt facing the media. The other way around for Brissett if Tennessee won.Painfully for Brissett, Tennessee spun to a 51-10 victory over N.C. State.And this was the cost he must pay.Jerod Mayo arrives throughout Jacoby Brissett's news conference along with an University of Tennessee hoodie ... and also Brissett puts it on as component of an arrangement along with Tennessee alumni Mayo/Joe Milton after Tennessee defeated NC Condition. pic.twitter.com/n7KyDf4xjnu2014 Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) September 11, 2024.
