Tom Brady - Page 11

According to early reports, not saying these are accurate, but the NFL was ready to agree to a one game suspense with items being turned over, Brady demanded everything be sealed and no details given to the press. NFL said go eff yourself, 4 games, case closed.

Brady's getting KILLED where it's going to hurt the most: his reputation & legacy.

I can't imagine a scenario where sports fans (at least those in the 44 states outside New England) don't think of him in the same way as they do Barry Bonds & A-Rod. When he trashed his phone, he trashed his reputation. No longer matters what the courts say, in the court of public opinion, he's done.

So true.
If he didn't want to set a precedent by turning over his personal phone, lock it up in a safe and wait for the court order, if one ever did come.

I was waiting for the fans to get all over his jock in support once the suspension was upheld. I do agree though since there is a considerable amount of money at stake teams will do whatever they think they can get away with to win. It just turns out Brady and the Patriots are under this illusion they wont be caught or wont be punished when they are. I also still believe the NFL plays favorites depending on who is in trouble or how much trouble. Drunk driving and heroin possession is only 2 games? Steroids first offense 1 to 10 games, second offense 4 games to life reduced to one season. There are numerous other references that could be made as well. Simply put he got caught he tried to hide it and got caught hiding it. He should have just manned up from the beginning admit it and defied the NFL to treat him unfairly according to their already warped sense of right and justifiable punishment.

And meanwhile, as people still obsess over this ridiculousness, Adrian Pederson reported to training camp and was greeted with cheers. Really, cheers? Of course, he didn't do anything as offensive as tampering with footballs, he only whipped a four-year old boy so savagely on the legs, buttocks, genitals, and thighs that six hours after the beating the wounds were still seeping blood. But hey, that son-of-a-gun can run with a football really well, so who cares...

Do you expect Tom Brady to be greeted by boos from Pats fans?

But hey, that son-of-a-lying-cheating-evidence destroyer can throw a football really well, so who cares....

Fixed.

Nope. But then again, he didn't beat the ever-loving schiesse out of a kid, either. Apparently, he did something much, much worse...

I'm just not involved enough in the cult of football to get all riled up every time someone cheats (or to be more precise, to get all riled up when players from successful teams cheat). Which, for those that are naive, is pretty much every play of every game of every year.

For all those who say Brady's reputation is done; would you trade your QB for him right now? If not, why?

dijit · 07-29-2015, 01:38 PM

I wouldnt but that is because while I believe he is a great QB he is at the twilight of his career while our QB is at the beginning. However he would be a kick ass back up! I still dont like him though.

I said his reputation in the public arena is done -- doesn't mean he's not a fantastic QB. I'm a Bills fan. I'll take Brady over the flotsam & jetsam my team's assembled at that position. Hell, I'll take Garoppolo.

This isn't about Brady's abilities on the field. It's about his legacy. Four Super Bowl titles; MVP in 3 of them -- all tarnished because of this. Outside of New England, he's basically A-Rod in shoulder pads.

Nope.
Wouldn't do it before either.
Mine has beaten him twice in Super Bowls.

I will trade Jay Cutler for him, and even throw in George Halas' frozen head, Moses.

Nope. Because we have bar none the best quarterback in the league leading our team.

I would not. I don't like dicks on my team. The stench makes me ill.

Still, he does differ from Brady in two respects. Imprimis, he has been a model citizen so far this year, and kept his mouth shut even when prodded, e.g. with the landmark bonus issue and the ballhog holding his 3000th hit hostage. Secundus, he protested a 200+ game suspension, and served the 162 game one. Brady is whining about a lousy 4 games.
