Just when you thought it might be quiet in the Jets locker room following Sunday's win over the Rams that ended a three-game losing streak, linebacker Bart Scott provided the controversy this team seems unable to avoid. Scott, unhappy about unnamed players criticizing backup quarterback Tim Tebow in a New York Daily News story last week, ordered his fellow defensive players to say nothing but, "Both teams played hard -- anonymously," to reporters.
Scott's influence apparently isn't as strong as he thought, as at least two players -- safety Yeremiah Bell and linebacker Bryan Thomas -- ignored Scott's instructions. Scott yelled at Thomas, calling him "a [expletive] sellout." Interjected Bell: "Stop it. Just stop."
Scott then relented and spoke "calmly and openly to the media," according to the New York Post.
