Bart Scott Paints Target on Back of Wes Welker With Implied Threat

It would have been so easy to let the trash talking and gamesmanship die down after Rex Ryan, Antonio Cromartie, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady had their say early in the week. However, this wouldn't be a New York Jets-New England Patriots rivalry game if that were to happen. So Patriots' wide receiver Wes Welker and Jets linebacker Bart Scott upped the ante at the end of the week.

Welker, who has never been known to stir things up in the media, got the ball rolling on Thursday when he made no less than 11 foot references during his media availability in an attempt to target Ryan's alleged foot fetish, Scott did not take it too kindly.

"I'll tell you what," Scott said via Newsday that afternoon when asked about Wes Welker's foot routine. "Be very careful what you say about our coach. His (Welker's) days in a uniform will be numbered. Put it like that."
