It’s unwise to taunt Tom Brady. And yet Patriots opponents keep doing it.

Dolphins linebacker Chris McCain set his Twitter avatar to a photoshopped image of McCain crushing an anguished Brady’s head. Above the picture, a caption read “#CrushBrady.’’

Apparently, the second-year linebacker didn’t get the memo from Hall of Famer John Elway, when he said, “The last thing you want to do is poke the bear.’’

Here’s a screengrab of McCain’s Twitter profile.

In Dan Campbell’s third game as the Dolphins’ interim head coach, Miami faces the Brady and the 6-0 Patriots on Thursday night.
