Even then, this is taken a bit out of context since he is responding to a question that asked him if he was another player or the NFLPA, how would you respond to Brady.
No.
Here is the interesting thing from the article attributed to the pale schlub:
"Oh, because you happen to be in this very rare situation where you have a wife who makes [multi-millions], where you have a house with a moat around it, where you're building a castle in Brookline? Such a man of the people. Screw you.
"People need to make the money. [NFL players] have a short window to make that money. I don't like it . . . If I know some guy comes in the market to do radio for cheap money, screw you. You're hurting the market.
"And not everyone lives in that bubble. What a ridiculous thing to say. Get mad at me, I don't give a . . . He's good at playing quarterback. He's probably the best quarterback of all time. [But that's] a crap populist message from some guy that's living a royalty lifestyle."
Everyone can have an opinion - - nothing wrong with that. And yes, he may have been imitating an athlete - - however, his responsibility then is to add what was FACTUALLY INCORRECT about what the athlete would be saying.
If you are on radio in Boston, you should be entitled to your own opinions, but you should NOT be entitled to your own facts. Someone should tell the loser that Brady did the very same discount thing for the team in 2005 - - before he ever met his wife.
He may as well have claimed that Belichick secretly taped the Rams' practices before SB 36.
So to Mr. Toucher, SCREW YOU - - you are nothing more than a peddler of misinformation. There are other places to get INFORMED opinions.
