New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez apparently doesn't hate the New England Patriots as much as his teammates.

After Tom Brady told WEEI radio on Monday that he hated the Jets, Sanchez was asked on Tuesday if the feeling was mutual.

"No, I love the Patriots," Sanchez said with a smile. "I love Tom."

Sanchez then stared directly into a TV camera and said "I love you, Tom."

Sanchez later added: "[Brady's comment] doesn't matter. It's neither here nor there. We respect the heck out of them. I think he's a great quarterback, it's a great franchise, and we need to bring our best when we play them -- every time."
