Quote:
Will someone take a cheap shot at Brady?
Posted by John Tomase at 4:17 pm

Former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher just made a point that has to be in the back of many Patriots fans’ minds: if the Pats keep running up the score with their starters, will someone like Tom Brady pay the price?

“It’s risk and reward,” Cowher said. “How long do you want your starters to play? You want to be careful. At some point if this continues, someone’s going to take a cheap shot. Is that worth subjecting your players to if it comes to that? You can say it’s playing football, but those are the decisions you have to make.”

A try to hurt Brady going to happen,In fact I think its inevitable
I just hope when they go after his knees he will bounce back up as usual and walk it off.

If it does, I hope people like Cowher and Wilbon and others realize that the constant talk by media people about how someone might do it makes it more likely that someone will want to be the "hero" who does in the Pats.

They can say "I told you so" but they will have helped make it so.

It's just this week's talking point. Last week no one was talking about cheap shots to Brady. Suddenly everyone is talking about it. It'll go away when someone has an original thought, maybe in a month or so.

sounds to me like the media is putting a price on Bradys head. no one ever suggested that with peyton in 2004. why not take a cheap shot when you are losing 24-0? or why not do it when its 0-0 ? you get a penatly fine and have a good chance of winning game. makes more sense to do it early.

especially since the media is saying its almost forgivable. but you know what? the pats can do the same thing! goes both ways.
i think that is the biggest deterrent.

His Steelers were good at going for the quarterbacks knees during playoff games. Brady and Palmer for example.

Then again, the more people keep yapping about it, Goodell might force the refs to throw an invisible shield suit around Brady and they'll call 15 yards for staring at him! As much of an ass Goodell is, he knows how imortant Brady and the Pats are to the leagues popularity so he will want to protect him.

Great point in the 2000 afccg the steelers dove for Brady's knees every chance they got until they finely knocked him out of the game. I never thought it was an accident what happened to Palmer. Von Olenhoffen crawled until he got got close enough to lunge at Palmer's knees. I watched that replay many times and never could understand why more wasn't made of it. To me it was pretty blatant.

Excellent point. The drive by media don't care who they hurt as long as they get a story and ratings.
