Wait, what? Did Michael Jordan actually **** on everyone? Then where did this picture come from?Part of me would love it if when Brady gets inducted into the HOF, he went full Jordan in the speech and just **** on everyone.
He would never, of course, just not his style, and part of the reason it's been such a pleasure to cheer for him.

He'll need to win 5 to truly close the discussion on being the GOAT (possibly 6).
4 with 19-0 would have sealed the deal though.
Oh, I see. I am watching his acceptance speech now. It's hilarious. The dude actually cried because he was talking about how great he was. LOL. I couldn't imagine Brady doing that though.Jordan called out former coaches, opposing players, GMs/coaches that didn't draft him, coaches that didn't recruit him in college, and so on in his hall of fame speech. It was awkward, brutal, funny, honest, and awesome all at the same time.
This is what happens when an elite few control the narrative. The officers of the NFL, members of its competition committees, and, by influence, most ex-players employed by the media, as well as the majority of sports media have anathematized the sport-addled public against one organization, one team, one coach and one player. In the 1930's the term for this creation was "untermensch", meaning sub-human, and was applied to Jews, Communists and Romanies (aka gypsies).
By creating the belief that members of the target group were less that human, it inferred that they lacked grace and vital character. In other words they were not to be trusted, and were by nature inveterate cheats, liars, thieves, and worse. They had no redeeming qualities, even when they exhibited exemplary human behaviors, as it was not possible for "untermensch" to comprehend such abstract qualities as honor, dignity, compassion and morality.
No matter what Brady and the rest of the organization do now or in the near future will change that opinion, as they are forever linked to the "untermensch" label. The only change can occur when the elite are exposed and removed, and the falsity of that narrative is made evident. Sadly that is not likely to happen any time soon.
I guess too many people have never learned the lessons of the middle of last century, or they deny any similarities. The digital age has only accelerated the power and reach of such disaffection. More worryingly it goes beyond sport into national and global politics. Consequently we must be active against any such objectifying dehumanization, as we are all too aware of the unfairness exhibited to the team we support.
It was from that but the speech itself was a vitriolic, caustic, personal, and at some points petty takedown of anyone who'd ever doubted or challenged his greatness. Not "high road" for sure, but certainly watchable.Wait, what? Did Michael Jordan actually **** on everyone? Then where did this picture come from?
But Tom is too classy for that .It was from that but the speech itself was a vitriolic, caustic, personal, and at some points petty takedown of anyone who'd ever doubted or challenged his greatness. Not "high road" for sure, but certainly watchable.

I acknowledged as much. But if he could sneak in the takedown parts without crying at himself for being so amazing and looking vindictive that'd be cool, is all I meant.But Tom is too classy for that .

Incredibly classless, is what it was.And this is the guy who was booed last night. Ridiculous.
