Finally, as a physician, the junk pseudoscience of a lot of the things Brady has peddled has annoyed me. That annoyance turned to anger at the start of the pandemic seeing Brady try to sell “immune-boosting” junk and making a profit off the virus.

Don't you think the purchaser of those junk have the right to make their own decision on what is junk and what is real for them.

I don't really believe in Eastern medicine, I don't care about supplements. I don't go on special diets. But other people do for their health and people should not disparage their beliefs.

Alot of people are making big bucks off the sickness. Tech companies and big pharma to name just two.

No one has done what Brady has done at his age. Obviously there's some truth and he is not just promoting sh#t.

Just wanted to correct your clear hypocrisy in trying to take the moral high ground.

Really want Seattle to win this. I have approximately 0% confidence in Tampa Bay beating New Orleans or even playing a competitive game.

Bucs have to put on their big boy pants.

 

[carmelo15]

Clearly the Pats had a better year, lmao

I mean I’d rather beat more winning teams and not make the playoffs than winning the super bowl but not beating as much winning teams

I think the problem is that Payton absolutely owns Arians. Also, it’s just a terrible matchup for them. A dominant offensive line that makes you pay for blitzing and a great defensive front four that typically creates a lot of pressure.

Hard to believe this is true if you are rooting like hell for him to lose. He has been associated with Guerrero for years so that is not a new phenomenon. Obviously every fan can root for whomever they want but I just honestly cannot understand actively rooting against someone who brought so much to our team - especially since he went to a team with zero history with the Patriots. If he went to the Colts, Giants, Steelers, Jets I could understand.

Even if he went to our rival I don’t care I’d still go for them. This guy wanted to retire a patriot and was chased out by the egotistical GM/coach so we should hate him for that. Some people are stupid man the guy wants to keep playing but he should retire cause some don’t want him on another team even though he begged for extensions here

They’d be good with a competent coach but ya Arians will be the downfall

I do not think he was chased out. Looks like it was a mutual divorce from both sides.

 

[RicoG]

You'd rather see the Steelers or Chiefs get another Superbowl over the greatest Patriot/player of all time?

It would be epic if the Bucs and Chiefs make it to the SB and Mahomes boy gets taken down by Brady a 2nd time.

If Brady and the Pats didn't take them down in 2018, the Chiefs likely would have won the SB and going for a 3peat.
Then we'd have to suffer from listening to the media proclaim Mahomes, Kelce, and Reid the GOAT and the Chiefs the greatest dynasty.

Really want Seattle to win this. I have approximately 0% confidence in Tampa Bay beating New Orleans or even playing a competitive game.

If Rams win, there's a realistic chance that they will be their next opponents. I'm expecting the Saints to try and choke away their game against Chicago. Chicago not a good team so Saints will probably win anyways.

........and that target has a losing record this year

Tom wanted a multiyear contract after the 2018 SB. Bill only wanted to go year by year.

So after 2019 you could look at it as mutual divorce for irreconcilable difference. Or per Bill's motto, Brady was let go a year early rather than a year late.

Or maybe 3-4 years too early, but who’s counting when you have a succession plan like this.

Rams will beat the Packers

LOL maybe they should take a look at a 45 year old Brady and give him whatever he wants in years to come back. Beats seeing Stiddy stink it up.
