Does anybody think Brady or Branch derived anything but pleasure from those boos?
Consider Brady's comments after the Pats beat Pitt....again!
"Man, they really hate us here <while laughing>
FSUPatsFan said:The highest respect an athlete can be paid is to be booed by opposing fans. That means they hate the player for all he's accomplished. Its just like when Red Sox fans boo Derek Jeter. A-Rod is a different story. He gets booed for the person he is. Derek Jeter isn't a bad person though. Its the nature of sports. I bet if Brady announced his retirement or something, he would get a standing ovation for all that he did for the game. I think we're being to critical if we say Steeler fans were classless. Every rival sports teams boo the opposing players. I guarentee if there were as many Pats fans attending a Patriots Super Bowl as there were Steeler fans, and Peyton Manning flipped the coin, he would get booed.
