He is well justified. Screw the haters.

Well, at least it keeps these poor girls out of porn (oops, except for Erin Andrews).

Classless? Brady? You've got to be kidding.

F em. I have no problem with her trying to get an interview, I think this exact same scene plays out at the end of every game, we just don't see it because they're usually too busy analyzing Belichick's handshake. Reporters always just try to get their question in consequences be damned, but it's up to Brady whether he stops or not. He's required to give a press conf after the game, he's not required to give 1-on-1's to every reporter that tries to interview him.

Brady just performed a miracle with his team. It was a special moment for him that he wanted to share with his team mates. She shoulda left the guy alone after the started runnin.

Brady has a classless reputation amongst fans of other teams? That's news to me. I was always under the impression that opposing fans hated BB, but admired Brady.

First off, he did end up stopping and answering that question and even if he had answered 5-6 other dopey ????

........ they just would have found something else to complain about anyway. Besides, we need something to put a chip on their shoulders. They play better that way.

Come on, man, do you have any idea how often these players decline these interviews? The only difference was ESPN was dumb enough to cut to her before she'd gotten Brady's OK. The man has a right to do whatever he wants, he has a post-game presser to go to. He was more than polite enough.

No offense shocker, but even though I say I will never again be amazed by fans acting like babies, I still get amazed.

Are you crying that a 100 pound sideline reporter 'bothered' Tom Brady? Good grief Sally, get a grip on reality.

I thought it was funny as hell, especially when she chased him down the field.
