Suggs: I did vote for Brady out of 'respect'

It turns out boisterous Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs did have a fond place in his heart for Tom Brady after all - or at least his teammates got through to him. One week after he told Yahoo's Michael Silver that he voted for Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Ryan Fitzpatrick - and not Brady - on his player's Pro Bowl ballot, Suggs admitted the Ravens linebacker corps convinced him voting Brady was the right thing to do.



“Let’s go ahead and let the cat out of the bag: We did vote for him,” Suggs told the Baltimore Sun Wednesday. “We’ve got quarrels and our beefs but you got to respect play. It was kind of decided as a unit who we vote for. We did vote for him.”

Suggs poked fun at Brady's wife Gisele Bundchen the last time the two teams played and Brady responded by pointing to how vocal the Ravens are for having beaten the Patriots just once in the last 10 years. The Patriots beat the Ravens in overtime, 23-20, on Oct. 17 at Gillette Stadium.

But Suggs - also selected to the AFC Pro Bowl roster - did add, “One of us is not going to get to play in the game. I hope he has a good time in the Pro Bowl, and hopefully everything goes according to plan, I’ll be watching him from Dallas.” For more, visit the Patriots team page at weei.com/patriots.

Suggs still a douche. Also correcting quote for truth:

One of us is not going to get to play in the game. I hope he has a good time in the Super Bowl, and hopefully everything goes according to plan, I’ll be watching him from my couch.”

Sounds about right to me.

I'm sure TB needs to quit his self-affirmation class now.

I'm sure that Tom is thrilled. I'm guessing that he wouldn't have been able to sleep if Suggs and the Ravens hadn't voted for him.

Well I think that was pretty magnanimous of him to vote for Brady. The RTP call that he got way back when was pretty unwarranted.

Even terrell suggs isn't that big of an arse. You can't not vote for TFB when he is doing wat he is doing.

LOL keep it on the field dude. Unless he starts dating a Victoria's secret model, this isn't an argument he wants to have.

Suggs is a tard

I think Suggs realized it didn't look too good to get beat 9 out of 10 times by a girlie man.

Suggs is a DH, but wouldn't you love to have him?

In Baltimore, he's perfect, but in Foxboro, he's locker room cancer.

His face is a world wide cancer

I think Suggs plays hard but I don't think he'd fit in here. Too mouthy.

I'd imagine that Ray Lewis told him who he was voting for in the Pro Bowl and he done what he was told.

Seems to me most of what Suggs says is just harmless trash talking. When Brady talks back to him he is usually smiling or laughing. I'm not really sure there is as much of a rivalry here as the press leads people to believe. If Suggs really couldn't stand the guy he wouldn't have voted for him no matter what his team said. But this is the same reason he would not work out here. He loves playing in the press too much to be a Patriot.

Suggs took three steps and lunged an elbow at Brady's knee way after Brady let the ball go. Luckily, Brady was able to leap over it. Just because Sugg's missed doesn't mean he didn't deserve a penalty. If he had connected Brady would have been out another year.

I'm not gonna lie I like suggs' game. But i also love clay matthews' game and i don't think h'd be a good olb for the pats either.

Suggs is a great raven. I leave it at that.

 

[deroc5050]

Suggs is clearly obsessed with TB... I have read many quotes from him either directly or indirectly taking shots at Tommy boy. Brady is clearly in his head.

Seriously, why do players constantly have to run their mouths. Why can't you as a player be humble or just shut-the-bleep-up on some things.

I reckon Brady wished he'd an ignore option like we do on here.

If it isn't a Baltimore player, it's a Pittsburgh player. Yes, I'm looking at you Hines Ward.
