Mike is just stirring the pot of the fans from the other 31 teams with that one. In the world of social media and the traffic it provides, especially for that site, I'm guessing that article will make its way around and NBC will be just fine with it.
I just like that he's been more vocal against the league over the past year, which has been refreshing. But I'm guessing the tide will turn at some point in terms of what's written there about this team.
I still can't believe it when I hear people start making the argument for guys like Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, etc. possibly being better than Brady right now. Based on what??? Honestly, until the guy really drops off, it's a discussion that just can't be had. The one against Manning people could try and make and sort of make a hair of an argument (and still be wrong ), but the fact Brady broke his wins record in fewer seasons should have already settled that one too.201 wins. Maybe the tide will turn to recognize we are watching a legend in the last years of his career and enjoy it.

It is a great story, and remains a testament to Tom Brady's life and career. I would not hold anything against Peyton, or Eli, or anybody else regarding their backgrounds; we should judge athletes by their performance on the field, which includes their response to adversity-which everybody faces at one time or another-and ability to win in sometimes traumatic conditions, and in hostile environments.I love the story. Manning, a HOF QB's son, picked #1 in the draft felt entitled to all the accolades but wait a second......who's that? ...... Pick 199.... entitled to nothing but earned everything .... Tom Brady.... it wasn't supposed to work out this way... I was supposed to be the hero..... Awe shucks.... he got 201 wins and twice as many SB's ..... maybe my wife should have had Avocado ice cream delivered instead of HGH...

I did not think Nikolai looked like this
Lots of people believe that Bill Russell and Bobby Orr are not by far the best players ever in their respective sports...I still can't believe it when I hear people start making the argument for guys like Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, etc. possibly being better than Brady right now.

Here's the one thing that gets overlooked in TB's game. I've been watching football since the mid 70's and there isn't one QB that is better than TB at pre snap reads and getting his team into the better play and then identifying at the snap where the ball should go. He is surgical at this part of his game and I think it points to the preparation he puts in every week.

Not a new phenomenon; veteran quarterbacks (Grogan, for example) called their own plays and recognized and adjusted to defenses. This is a huge factor in Tom's success today, despite him being older.This is the secret to his success, since the start of 2014 in particular. He's won the play before the ball is even snapped. Nobody can read a defense's reaction within 2 seconds after the snap with any regularity, so he has to know where he's going with the ball before the snap, with maybe 1 second tops after the snap to confirm his read before making the throw. He's the best at this by far.
It's a big reason why he beat Seattle in SB49. There is no way that OL holds up against Seattle if Tom is holding the ball longer than he did that game.
It's also a big reason he lost last year's AFCCG as Denver as they were effective at masking their pre-snap coverages, much better than they did in the regular season matchup. Every now and then Rex Ryan throws together a gameplan that gives Tom trouble with pre-snap reads. But these are the exceptions without a doubt.

Definitely not new, but Tom has taken the pre-snap read to a whole new level. The ball is out of his hands so quickly, it's insane.Not a new phenomenon; veteran quarterbacks (Grogan, for example) called their own plays and recognized and adjusted to defenses.
