Roethlisberger's voted the most disliked player in SB XLV, 4th in NFL - New England Patriots Forums

I would say, Hines Ward would be the likely second most disliked player in Super Bowl XLV.

I often try to be objective, but I've a hard time seeing why Brady's ranked fourth among the league's most disliked quarterbacks. Success breeds contempt? Maybe, it's that he's viewed nationally as a complainer to the referees. I don't know... Wait. Where would Peyton Manning be ranked...? Personally, I find his TV commercials irksome. And what of Philip Rivers or Jay Cutler or Tony Romo or Mark Sanchez? I'm sure that one could find faults with their personalities too.

Other poll details include:

The results show that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is the most disliked player going into Sunday's game and the fourth most disliked player in the league -- behind Brett Favre, Michael Vick and Tom Brady.

Tom Brady is one of the most disliked players? Along with a rapist,former convict dog killer and an old perv stalker.wtf...what has this guy done actually? Did he kill somebody without my knowing or what? He's a ******* choir boy compared to most nfl players.People hate winners i guess.

"Democrats and non-whites are rooting for the Steelers while whites and Republicans are rooting for the Packers"

LOL, I'm in the company with a bunch of conservatives.

It kind of blows me away that Tom is so hated.

A testimony to pettiness.

i talk with alot of fans from differant fanbases and you would be surprised how much they think he is a whiny angry pretty-boy who cries to the refs and also cheats, i think i got everything there.

A friend of mine told me once that he dislikes Brady because he "doesn't look like a quarterback but like a model/celebrity." I think most people think Brady is smug, that he is thinks he's smarter (or looks smarter) than the rest of the nfl (Cutler, romo, favre etc), like belichick. I can understand the smug remarks. But since when was being smart a bad thing.

No, we'll just assume that you are insane or were mistreated as a child.
