"You blew this Super Bowl," Boston Globe sports writer Eric Wilbur wrote of Brady on Monday. "You denied your coach No. 4. You let down your teammates."
This is the same Brady who broke a Super Bowl record with 16 straight completions during the game. The same Brady who's taken the Pats to five of these big games. The one who was on the cusp of tying Joe Montana with four Super Bowl wins.
And you wonder why Brady lives in L.A.
"Epic fail," Kerry J. Byrne wrote of Belichick on ColdHardFootballFacts.com. "Epic failures from one end of the organization to the other."
This is the same Belichick Byrne had previously praised for directing a team that had given fans "a stunning string of colossal victories, big moments, all-time records and memorable games for the ages."
(snip)
A little decaf, folks: The Patriots lost the Super Bowl on the last play of the game when a tipped ball failed to stay in the air another quarter second longer so a one-legged Rob Gronkowski could possibly catch it. If it had, all three of these writers would be hailing Brady, Belichick and Welker as just slightly greater than Lincoln.

Re: Great Rick Reilly slam on the entitled whiners
Line up this board's haters. Here we go! Samples: That's loser talk! What a pu^$$*! If it's just a game, why do they keep score? If you ain't got the ring, it don't mean a thing! Easy for him to say, he doesn't live here! Wimp!!! He's wicked wrong! I could go on and on, but it's late.

Re: Great Rick Reilly slam on the entitled whiners
It was a terrific column, nice perspective.
The one thing I didn't like is that it was spun as a message to fans (the link on the ESPN/NFL front said "Sore losers") but clearly the column was at least as much targeted toward media types. Some of them, like Wilbur, were just childish.
(In fairness to media in general: I've seen a lot of post-game analysis that has been very respectful of the Patriots both in how they played the game and how they continue to win. I guess there's a lesson there on how anyone can cherry pick a few posts or stories here or there to paint a group in a bad light, whether it's media on fans or fans on media.)

I havent seen many national media give pats much credit for their program. Some local ones maybe.

Here is a sample....he is taking quotes from Eric Freakin Wilbur. I think we can all agree Wilbur's article was trash and not representative of the thoughts of most Pats fans. he also quotes three random twitter accounts...how is that relevant?
I agree there are a lot of haters, but most of those people are the bandwagon types that say stupid thing like "Brady is too rich and doesn't care about football anymore..he just wants to live in California with his supermodel wife"
