BART SCOTT RIPS PATRIOTS QUARTERBACK: ‘THERE’S NOTHING TOUGH ABOUT TOM BRADY’

I don't really understand the outrage with this one. This is the game we all like watching. These guys are beating each other's brains in and we pay them for it. That's not to say I hope Brady gets hurt by one of these animals but that's only because he is our guy.

Was he yelling when he said this?

I think we can safely assume he was.

Exactly. It's called tackle football, not "gently put me down so as to not hurt me" football

Strange. Justin Tuck who battered and beat brady in the superbowl thinks differently

Great compliment to brady in the audio aroun 4:10 mark

Michael Bennett too. He spoke at some length about how Brady took a bunch of hits and kept getting up and competing.

Basically, the people who actually have hit Brady say one thing... and nobodies like Scott who are still grasping at air maintain otherwise.

I think there's a fairly significant difference between "I would hit this guy hard, as is my job" and "I would hit him in a specific way with the intent to deliver a potentially career-ending injury". Yes, football is an extremely physical sport, and there's nothing wrong with that. But people who go out intending to injure their opponents are rightly looked down upon.

They should put all these washed up guys career numbers against the Patriots up when they talk crap.

For Scott, its a respectable 3-8.

So if he isn't that good, how did he beat your teams 8 times????

I don't think that's what he was saying, but we're Patriots fans. We have this knack for always looking for stuff to complain about. He wants to hit him hard enough to break his ribs. Cool. That's how every defender should be. You should want to hit people hard enough to hurt them. It's the cheap shots/dirty shots (like the one TJ Ward landed on Gronk when he dove at his knee caps in...2012?) that bother me. But "Yea I wanted to hit him hard enough to break his ribs" just doesn't get my panties all wadded up.

Whatever. Ben is a physical QB, and a big dude. Brady is no exceptional athletic specimen. That's not how he wins.

What makes him great is his mind for the game and his leadership traits and the fact that he fights and wins. If Bart Scott hit him, it might break his ribs. But Brady would only get angry and even more driven to succeed.

Disrespect him all you want. It only makes him more focused and motivated.

Bart Scott still mad that Thanksgiving night in '12 against the Pats was the night he realized his career was over, especially when he let a 5 yard swing pass get taking 83 yards for a TD.

Even though the game was played in New Jersey, it gave new meaning to the term "a New York minute."

Well I don't think Brady is some little priss either. He's taken shot after shot after shot for the past 15 years. Tough hits. Remember the Dumervil hit in Denver, in 2011? He popped right back up after that. He isn't some fragile piece of glass. He's never missed a game outside of his ACL tear year, which any quarterback would've suffered too. Brady could take a solid hit from an unblocked Bart Scott and still throw a dime down the seam for a TD. That's tough to me.

What, a guy can’t have a man purse, a stylistic haircut, and Uggs and still be tough? Get with the times Bro…

This guy is no longer a player, he just a mediot running his mouth with no repercussions. If someone playing wants to run his mouth, go for it. This guy is just attention whoring while he picks up his CBS paycheck.

One guy is competing for a 5th championship while the other is getting powdered up for TV. One guy came back from a terrible injury and worked to stay at an elite level of play while the other had to retire because he was one of the worst linebacker in the league (look up Bart Scott's 2012 season).

Watch this dork make excuses for Tomlin's infamous kickoff tackle attempt.

Bart Simpson would've garnered more respect.

BTW, who the hell is asking former players like Bart Scott and Dexter Manley to weigh in with their negative opinions on Brady? How is this news, and why is the media fishing for this stuff? There some kind of negativist agenda here?

Manley made his comments during an interview. Scott is the media (CBS analyst), and Manley was part of the media himself until his dane bramage (from being a hard core addict, mostly), and his mouth got him kicked off the air.

The Ravens and Steelers are supposed to be one of the NFL's biggest rivalries. If that's the case, it's a little confusing why Bart Scott is sucking up to the Steelers whenever he has a chance

Ben is also the same guy who was called out by his coach for lying about broken toes in an AFCCG loss to the Pats. He is or was also known to be a bit of a drama queen with injuries like Favre was.

You have not and will never hear Brady use injuries as an excuse or "pose" with injuries when cameras are rolling. If that is not tough then I guess I have a very different definition of the word than most.

I do agree with Scott about McNair. That was one tough dude.

Bart is an irrelevant mouse.
