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

Great compliment to brady in the audio aroun 4:10 mark
Exactly. It's called tackle football, not "gently put me down so as to not hurt me" football
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.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.
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.
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.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.
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.
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.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?
Watch this dork make excuses for Tomlin's infamous kickoff tackle attempt.
