02:23 PM ET 01.22 | Football tends to bring out the worst in people and this Sunday's AFC Championship game is apparently evidence of that. While some fans come up with clever and often hilarious ways to mock and taunt the opposing team, others stick to low-brow and offensive means of getting inside the opposing team's head. Back in September, the morning Smith was set to play on Sunday Night Football, his younger brother Tevin died in a motorcycle accident. Smith went on to have one of the best games of his career that night and the performance is one of the most emotional stories of the 2012 NFL season. But while most fans supported Smith through the ordeal, Patriots fans used it as game-day fodder when it came to their taunts.

Hopefully the Ravens took the high road in this incident too. Man... Patriots might be the new Raiders with all of this dirtiness and Busch league antics.

Not surprising for Belicheat fans. Even the wives have no class. Last year it was Brady's, this year it's Welker's. Can't win unless they cheat and know the other teams plays and can't lose and be classy. Overall a lowlife organization supported by lowlife fans and families.

Yeah, they didn't go undefeated and make it to the superbowl after spygate. Haven't been to the AFC title game what 3 or 4 times since then. They did what every team does. They were just dumb enough to tape it.
