Didn't realize how much Brady is hated until


I was flyin' Vegas to Denver. I sat next to an elderly lady from NY who lives in Vegas in a retirement home. We chat for 2 hours. Yes, I chat with an 87 year old grandma for 2 hours. Kinda looks like Raymond's mom in Everybody Loves Raymond. lol She was very interesting. She was a wife of a WWII vet who later became a pilot. She lived in many countries - mostly Asian countries. She was educated lady who was polite and fun. She had ton of Vietnam stories. She knew about pretty much everything from politics to sports. We went on and on about politics. My wife is a doctor and she sat next to me. Her son was a doctor too. So even my wife chimed in. I enjoyed talking and listening to her story. It was interesting.

And then - I told her that I'm Patriots fan.

The hell broke loose.

She went on and on how much she hated Brady. I was curious and asked here why. She believes Brady is a

1. slimeball
2. sleezeball
3. bastard
4. morally unconscious
5. total loser

She believes Brady fathered many illegitimate children with many different women. She really believed that. She hates what he 'stands for'.

I didn't argue with her, I kept saying 'interesting'. First I assumed she was a NY fan. She mentioned the Yankees a lot, so I just thought she was a jets or giants fan. She then goes saying - she is a Broncos fan for life. Because of her cousins and family that live in the Denver area. She loves Peyton Manning for many reasons. According to her Peyton Manning is

1. good human being
2. caring man
3. doesn't go around father illegitimate children
4. great player
5. funny man

She loves what Peyton Manning 'stands' for.

She kept saying 'sorry about rant on Brady, but it's true. He is the worst human being in my recent memory'. And she goes on that everyone of her family - there must be 50+ of them because she has 7 kids and many great great grand kids, and cousins after cousins. All of them hate Brady and every time they gather watching football, they literally can't stand Brady.

Oh by the way, I've been living in the enemy territory for past 3 years. Colorado, Washington, and Wyoming. Brady is hated. Like really really hated. I watched SB with a bunch of my wife's colleagues. Brady is hated. Absolutely hated. It's unreal.
 
I would assume that about 75% of all football fans (or more) believe that Brady is somehow "bad," while Manning is "good" for whatever reason. I hear it constantly in Pittsburgh, as they hate Brady just as much as any city, if not more.

He's good looking, successful, rich, and is a proven winner. That leads to jealousy from the men, especially those in opposing fanbases. The women still hold him responsible for leaving Bridget after he knocked her up (which I don't think is even true).

The recent scandals and negative attention makes the hate even stronger, as the average person doesn't care to keep up on the truth from day to day.
 
I don't get the hate for Brady, everything he has he worked his ass for it nothing was given to him. People seem to forget that he was a 6th round pick never gifted with athletic skills and he earned everything he accomplished. Manning on the other hand was always destined to be the darling boy of the NFL he is a hard worker too but his path was an easier one than what Brady had to go through. I thought our country was big on underdog stories and Tom is one of the biggest underdogs in the history of American sports
 
Not to talk politics, but is it any surprise that Democrats and Republicans cant get along? Human beings twist facts to suit whatever it is they want to believe. The other side is evil. Our side is good.

Shame she just can't accept the fact that its her side that is Evil... ;)
 
He is the ultimate winner. From this viewpoint : Brady cares about wins, while Manning cares about records. That in itself is the ONLY thing I care about. Old lady, neither Brady, nor Manning is your friend. They just play one on tv !

Why do people care soooooo much about the "good guy" ? (not that I am buying what she is selling here seeing as how Manning's junk may have been lying on some gal's face without her consent) Good guys are handy as neighbours, friends, or relatives. Winners are handy as professional athletes. Hatred towards Tom be damned. Give me the winner 24/7 ahead of the yard/TD hog playing choreographed keep away on the field.
 
If every market has talk radio like Felger/Mazz.. then the influence of how bad #12 is, is understandable.

While we cherish him, there are 31 other teams out there who hate us, because they ain't us..
 
Guys, I'm trying to be a good teammate here. Let's just say Brady's public image has some protection problems.

So you sit there and converse with this woman for two hours yet you don't set her straight on Brady? You could've done it in a kind manner without beating her up over it. She might have learned something from you. To call her misguided vitriol "interesting" and leave it at that was kind of pathetic.

A lot of people can't get over how Brady left his beautiful actress model girlfriend pregnant (Bridget Moynahan) to go and marry another beautiful model girlfriend (Gisele Bundchen Brady). I've met so called Patriots fans that hate Brady for it. Nevermind Tom has an active role in his sons' life and Moynahan as the mother of his child -- people just want to gossip. If it works for them then it works for them.

I guess he filed this one under the 'cant treat an old dog new tricks' category.

I have to admit, I'm not nice enough to start a conversation with an 87 year old even if she's 3 inches away. But if I did, I'd certainly call her out on her misguided comments. :mad:
 
I would've pointed out to that little old lady that Tom Brady is a family man, seems to be a great father, and has never once been in trouble with the law.

Then I would've asked her if she was aware of the sexual assault allegations against Peyton Manning while he was in college.

You should have asked her if she was a fan of Antonio Cromartie....
 
Americans hate change for the sake of change. Because of bias in the press, spin doctoring and lifestyle (does anyone sit down and read The Economist anymore?) They are also very uninformed on the real issues.

Gotta wonder what difference Al Gore, John Kerry, John McCain or Mitt would have made.

I put Mitt down as a biggest change-agent of the bunch.
I don't care if someone is left or right, but for anyone who believes that any serious presidential candidate in the last 30 years is focused on the well-being of the country and it's citizens, I can get you a great deal on a bridge.
 
After politely listening to her, I would have then explained all of the attributes of Tom Brady that I admire

-hard work
-never a "can't miss' talent
-never talking down opponents
-good father
-good in the community
-admired teammate
-winning-focued
-not fighting for every dollar of salary
-loyal to team, city, teammates, community

Then I would have then explained all of the attributes of Peyton Manning that annoy me

-silver spoon in his mouth his whole life
-sexually assaulted a trainer at UT, bought his way out of it, lied about it in a book, bought his way out of THAT
-well-known for his MANY extramarital affairs in Indy, including with a TV news anchor, that were all "OK" with his wife who long-ago accepted the fact that he is a serial philanderer
-throws teammates under the bus
-stats whore
-until now has never left a cent on the table, demanding top dollar at every turn
