People forget about all the good Brady does behind the scenes, the man is larger than life. Voted 3rd most hated NFL player last year:cool:

Why did the NFLPA want his name first on its lawsuit against the league? Because Tom Brady vs. anybody is usually a lock, that's why.
Favorite part. :D

I don't like Rick Reilly, but that article was amusing.

One thing I'll argue is at the end when he says: "If the Fifth Son wins this Super Bowl, he goes down as one of the five greatest quarterbacks in history." I'd say Brady is already there, and a win Sunday would put him, at the very least, side-by-side with Joe Montana for the greatest ever IMO.

Nice story on a Friday evening after being bombarded with everything anti-New England for the last 19+ weeks!

Rather than start another thread I'll piggy-back on this thread.

How to Cheer for the Patriots (Even If You Have No Business Doing So) - The Triangle Blog - Grantland

Quote:

Yeah, that whole Pats thing. My bad. I'm not from New England; Steve Grogan was a hero to most (in, like, Waltham) but he never meant ***** to me. So why will I be pulling for the Brady bunch on Sunday?

Because I am a compulsive cheerer. While some guys like to gamble to heighten their interest in the outcome of a sporting event, I like to establish a rooting interest. It's annoying and I've almost been suplexed by some of my best friends for coming over to their houses and cheering for the wrong team, but it is what it is, and what it is is my cross to bear.

Now, there's one big reason I'm going to be pulling for the Pats on Sunday: Because I am a hater. I've lived in this wonderful, exciting town for 10 years, but I still wish nothing but utter misery and ruin on New York's sports franchises. You can take the boy out of Philadelphia, but you can't take the sore-losing, Giants-hating jerk out of the boy.
