Brady ever test positive for steroids?
Brady ever declare, at a public rally, that he is going to hit an opposing player in the mouth? Lead a cheer of "[insert name here] sucks"?
Does Brady do a dance over the cornerbacks he burns on TDs?
Make boneheaded predictions about teams during half-time of playoff games?
Generally act like a douche?

Merriman's got an act only a mother can love (or the hundreds of Chargers fans).

As I said, I don't wish injury to Merriman, but the comparison to Brady is a weak one. People wished injury on Brady because he did his job better than everyone else. There's a huge difference between the two.

While I'm a Patriots fan I won't bemoan injuries to others. They are the opponents. Maybe in 20 years (when I'll be 60 ) I'll just enjoy the sport for what it is with no favorite team, like I currently do in baseball, and then it will be different. But right now the most important thing to me is to have the Patriots win. So . . .

Damn I hope this is not true.

God I hate PFT......

different position, different mindset/attitude. If Rodney was at a rally (with no cameras he knew of) it wouldn't bug you hearing him say "Rivers sucks" and I don't remember hearing anyone complain when Seau was doing his stupid dance last year. Steroids and HGH don't bother me and I don't consider them as a black mark against someone's soul the way others do, and everytime I've heard Merriman speak he seems like a good guy to me. Pats fans would worship him if he played for us.

Good that the Pats don't have to deal with him, bad that an injury has possibly ended a talented players career early. I don't think those two feelings are irreconcilable.

No kidding. It's irritating when Florio speaks in the plural when it's only his opinion. It's like he's schizo or something.

To each his own though I'll add that it would bother me if I saw Rodney, or any member of the Patriots, participating in a fan chant like that.

I don't think any of those things I listed warrant actively rooting for injury, but I can certainly see why people won't shed tears, lose sleep, or feel sorry about Merriman's rumored situation.

They aren't - but they aren't totally equal feelings either. Right now it's more important to me to help the Patriots than to improve the overall talent of the league.

Patjew

Is that like quiet strength?

I don't care for Merriman at all. I don't wish him injury, but if he just decided to up and leave the league, I wouldn't mind.
