Brady apologizes to Josh

[Bruins29]

Sorry about the carpet.

I don't understand why there needs to be a public apology. If they are truly BFFs, then the only thing a public apology does is give the media and fans some sense of closure. I don't know why we need that...and **** what the media wants. Those ****tards deserve nothing from this franchise.

Probably because he decided it was the right thing to do

I remember an interview with a current ref who said TB went up to him before the game and said he wanted to apologize for anything he' going to say to him during game because he gets intense. His intensity is what makes him the greatest.

That can't be it. Tom was coerced by the media and caved into public pressure.

He does it all the time y'know....

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

Or it is thing people with class do.

I swear, the people in here are so dedicated to the notion that Brady can do no wrong that even when Brady himself admits he f'ed up, they have to find some other reason to justify the whole thing and act like apologizing to someone is indicative of a character flaw.

If it was any other player on another team, the exact same people in here would be laughing at the coaching staff and criticizing the player for doing what he did.

To me, people with class do it in person.

And not sure if you are arguing with me or if my point made you go in another direction.

Brady can do no wrong? He's fairly human and doesn't have a habit of doing this. 16 years with plenty of pressure on him and we have 2 outburst documented by the media.

Doing a public apology does seem unusual and there could be many reasons for it. I'll not speculate too much other than to say it seems more for the media or interests outside the team. When does BB want people to speak publically about intern matters? ...

You do realize he chewed Josh a new one in public in front of other players and coaches?

Do you think that warrants a public apology?

He doesn't owe anything to me.

You seem to be very passionate about this issue.

I don't think Tom gives a **** about me or you.

He cares about Josh and how he is perecived by players, coaches and owners.

That's all there is to it.

I'm sure all this stuff gets handled in house. Not sure you got to my other points that it's certainly an unusual chain of events and no big deal either way. The one thing it does, is it stops being a distraction for BB/the team and the issue can be put to rest.

I'll follow suit.

That it does.

So it’s all about speaking on behalf of others for you

I'm not even sure what point you are trying to make or what you think my opinion is on this topic. Really, I'm exhausted by this and that is odd because I'm must not be communicating very well because I get the impression people think I'm being caustic or harsh.

 

[catent]

I was glad that Brady did.

He wants to win and score on every drive. That kind of fire is what wins championships.

I assume your reaction would be exactly the same had someone besides Brady acted in a similar manner, be it Dez Bryant, OBJ, Roethlisberger, etc?

That such a display of fiery passion and competitiveness is ultimately a positive contribution to their team and increases the team's chances of being successful?

 

[catent]

BTW, shouts out to London Fletcher for having some sense in this non-sensical world of social media.

I agree that OBJ's antics are often in poor taste, and his urinating dog act is much different than Brady coming unhinged, but had Dez Bryant, OBJ, or a similar player gone off on a coach in the way Brady did they would've been treated similarly by the media, if not worse.

One can argue that Brady didn't intend to cause a distraction with his actions, but he did, regardless of whether that was his intent.

The thing is, Dez has yelled at a reporter before. I could go through a list of examples. The difference is that Brady did the action of apologizing. Whether anyone perceives the apology as sincere or not, he went that extra mile to apologize for it. Cam has never apologized for the comment he made toward the woman reporter AFAIK. I could be wrong.

I do agree they would have been treated worse, but I'm not as quick to say it is due to a racial reason, like some in the media were quick to do. The guys you mentioned are younger, have less experience in the game, and thus less standing to do what they have done. I am not saying Brady is in the clear entirely because of what he has done, but when someone has put in more work and has the resume and the accomplishments that he does, leeway is given more to him. It is unfair, but that's the way it is.

Again, if Paxton Lynch did what Brady did you would not hear a peep from any one. Not because of his skin color, but because he has done nothing in This league.

 

[Off The Grid]

I wholeheartedly agree with your rationalization. The respect between a player and a coach is absolutely a 2-way street. If there is none, then the team is not a team.

However, I do think it is in Josh's jurisdiction to remind Tom to look at open receivers. Now, I dont know what Josh said of if he insulted Tom but for Tom to seemingly blow up based on a criticism is out of line.

I also believe that Tom does tend to "lock into" players sometimes. Those are players he trusts and I get that.

I think the exchange surfaces a frustration but I'm making a leap to that conclusion.

I do think Tom slung a couple of "F-Us" and Josh and IMO that is reason to apologize.

With that said I have had many hard conversations with coaches but I always did in private.

Emotions got the best of Josh and Tom. It happens. Apologies were exchanged and time to move on.

Tremendously put on all accounts, as always, Brother Rob!!

 

[Off The Grid]

Uh, McDaniels isn't "some jamoke" - and it speaks volumes as to your respect level for the guy that you called him that.

As far as the offense is concerned, he is 2nd only to Belichick. That hardly makes him "some jamoke".

Simmer down. It was written tongue in cheek. Anyone who doesn't think that I have tremendous respect for MacDaniel's skill and rank hasn't read very well.
