A former Patriots star went viral for his Mac Jones comments, and he didn’t back down when he appeared on Boston radio Tuesday.
Rob Ninkovich previewed New England’s outlook this season and in the process of praising the new quarterback room, he vented about Mac Jones. During the rant, he threatened to “smack the (expletive)” out of Jones for his attitude during his three seasons with the Patriots.
Ninkovich drew mixed reactions from fans who are still supporters of Jones or dislike him after he was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The two-time Super Bowl champion appeared on “The Rich Shertenlieb Show” and was promptly asked why he hates Jones.
“I don’t know personally if he does or if he doesn’t. I have no idea,” Ninkovich said, per co-host Michael Hurley. “I’ve always been critical of anybody. If I’m watching football and I see bad football or I see antics that I don’t agree with, I’m gonna say something about it. He’s (Dan O’Brien) like, ‘He doesn’t like you.’ I’m like, ‘I don’t care.’ Honestly. Can I ask you a question? I’m a 40-year-old man. I’m an adult. If somebody like me, I don’t care. I have a family and my children. They love me. If you don’t like me, I don’t give a — I don’t care.
“… My dad, we call him ‘Captain Insano.’ If there’s ever an issue, you never punch anybody. That’s bad. You can slap the heck out of somebody. It’s not damaging. It doesn’t hurt them. They don’t get knocked out. It’s just embarrassing, right? I always had this thing in years past if anyone has an issue with me, sign this little thing, sign the contract. I’ll give you five fingers and you’ll just feel a Rosacea all over your face you never experienced before in your life. And it’ll be a nice slap, and it’ll wake you up.”
Jones won’t feature for Jacksonville unless Trevor Lawrence gets injured, but if the former Patriots quarterback does play this season, it likely will attract a lot of attention from New England fans.
