Good stuff from a bad journalist

[Fencer]

I don't recall him accomplishing this at any other time in the past decade-plus, but Borges' article on the Colts game is good from beginning to end.

Borges: Tom Brady stayed cool, got what mattered

As the Colts’ minds were reeling, Brady’s mind was operating like a Swiss watch when, two plays later, he found his initial reads taken away and stepped first left and then rolled right, flushed from the pocket as he’d often been this evening. As he rolled, linebacker Jerrell Freeman foolishly left Blount to try and run Brady down from a distance way too far away to make a play. As he did, Blount went from his position in the middle of the field to following Brady as linebacker D’Qwell Jackson tried to catch him from behind.

Brady knew immediately neither linebacker would win their footraces, as Blount flashed in front of him on what was now a shallow cross. The moment he did, Blount received a bullet from a master marksman, hitting him right in stride in a way that allowed him to scamper (does Blount ever really scamper?) for an easy 11-yard touchdown and a 34-21 lead.

I think that is what makes Borges so hateful to me. The ability to write well has always been there, it is just that he chooses to waste that talent on mean spirited personal agendas. For the life of me I cannot understand how he still gets so much TV work, you always know what he's going to say before he opens his mouth.

Sorry Fence, one solid article over the last 15 or so years isn't going to make me give him a click. But thanks for the clip to read.

I think you are missing the Elephant in the Room regarding this Borges piece and the video accompanying - - especially given Borges' history relating to BB ("Duplicitous Pond Scum") .

He is stating that BRADY makes other teams call stupid plays to try to outsmart the Patriots.

Brady wasn't on the field for the punt.

11 STers who were incredibly prepared and calm under this pressure situation were.

Paganao was trying to outsmart Belichick. He got his ass handed to him.

Read it over again - - the name Belichick is NOT EVEN WRITTEN ONCE in that piece!
