It's my own damned fault. I said, it's past 3:30, how can it hurt to watch a little pregame before I head off the the local pizza place and sports bar to watch the game. So I turn on CBS (I know better than to watch BSPN under any conditions). and what is the first thing I see, its a the CBS guy and the Denver DL (Ware Wolfe and Miller, I think) and what is the 2nd question out of his mouth. "Does Tom Brady get special attention from the refs?" ....and my head almost exploded. This has been going on all week now, especially over at BSPN. The casual football fan now believes Brady is a crybaby, and the networks are backing that up.
Forget about the fact that he gets roughing calls fewer than most NFL QB's. Forget about his unmatched toughness over 15 years of work. NOOOOOOOOOOO. It wasn't about Peyton's HGH. It wasn't about the screw job the NFL gave Brady and he's had to live through for over a year (and STILL has to live through) Today. It wasn't about the singular unique record Brady has managed over 15 years of work, and UNLIKE Manning and UNLIKE Montana, and UNLIKE Marino, he's still as good as ever. NOOOOOO, before the 2nd biggest game of the year, the narrative is Tom Brady - crybaby - gets special treatment.
Well I just got finished picking up the pieces of my exploded head and I'm wondering whatever possessed me to watch eve 5 minutes of pre-game crap....because that is all it took.
