Bet how ? how will you prove it ?TOM BRADY WANTS TO COMMIT MURDER
So much for the nice guy demeanor. When it's time to play football, Pats quarterback Tom Brady's intention is not to beat his opponent. He wants to destroy them.
Said Brady this week on WEEI radio in Boston: "We're not trying to win 42-28, we're trying to kill people, we're trying to blow them out if we can. You want to build momentum for each week, you don't want to be up, 42-7 or 35-7, and all of a sudden you look up and it's 35-21. We don't want to be part of that, you don't want to go into next week realizing that for the last 18 minutes of the game your team didn't play well, or didn't play up to its capabilities. You gave other teams momentum for the next time they play you, or you gave another team a reason not to be intimidated."
Meanwhile, New England cornerback Randall Gay recently sounded off regarding the perception that the team is running up the score.
"It kind of makes me mad when you hear somebody from the other team's defense going, 'They shouldn't have done that; that's disrespect.' Do we think it's disrespect when they went and picked up their checks for letting a team score 50 points on them? That should be disrespect; that you went to your owner and said, 'All right, pay me for that game I just played.'"
The comments are amazing, but not surprising. Coach Bill Belichick and his staff have to be saying something to these guys to get them motivated to perform at a high level every week, and you can bet that the sound bites from Brady and Gay are the result of seeds that have been planted by Belichick and company ever since the media and the fans started questioning the tactics of the best team the NFL has seen in a long, long time.
UPDATE: Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe has contacted us to explain that Brady actually said "we're trying to kill teams" not "we're trying to kill people." So Brady apparently wants to commit murder 53 people at a time.
BRADY'S BROADER POINT MAKES SENSE
Okay, I poked some fun earlier at Tom Brady's statement that the Patriots want to "kill teams." (And when we said that Brady wants to murder people, we were joking. Although isn't always the mild-mannered guy who ends up being the serial killer?)
Anyway, I pulled up the audio of the entire interview, and Brady's broader point makes sense. He was saying that the Pats want to play the full 60 minutes, and that they want to get as much experience in game situations now, so that they'll be ready when the playoffs come around.
Brady also pointed out that he has had limited experience with his top three receivers -- Randy Moss, Wes Welker, and Donte' Stallworth. So Brady wants to get as many live reps with them as possible, before the games really start to count.
Still, Brady's remark will be used both as motivation by their opponents (so that maybe they'll lose by only 19 points or less) and fuel for those who want to hate them.
Of course, hating them won't make a difference.
"We love it when people give us extra motivation," Brady said.
