I found this little tidbit from a Pitt fan on the Footballoutsiders Monday Night Open Thread. (post #140)
I just thought it was interesting enough to share.
Back to Tom Brady for a minute, he’s a really underated trash talker. Before games I always like to go and hang out in the south endzone in that big open end just to see whats going on. When you stand there you are literally within speaking distance of the players, and there is always some sort of witty banter going on back and forth. Well, back during 2004 the undefeated Patriots were in town to play the Steelers and Tom Brady was walking around on the field just hanging out, and this guy standing a few feet away from me starts yelling at him. He wasn’t really heckling him, just normal “HEY BRADY, WE’RE GONNA BEAT YOU TODAY!†stuff.
Brady turns around and starts pointing to his hears pretending like he can’t hear him, this only makes the guy yell louder…and louder…and louder.
Finally, Brady looks up at the guy and goes “Sorry dude, I can’t hear you, my Super Bowl rings are stuck in my ears.â€
The guy then just totally loses it.
“YOU STOLE THAT LINE FROM PATRICK ROY YOU BASTARD!â€
And Brady just keeps pointing out his ears while the guy just got frustrated and walked away.
I was howling, not because the guy was quick or witty, but because he was trying to “get inside Brady’s head†while Brady ended up getting inside of his head.
