Brady is the goat but FU

[Sect140]

This is a stupid thing to get upset about.

I think there are certain members here that spend every day looking for things to be angry about, it must be exhausting.

 

[Sect140]

seriously, **** brady for this ********. i don't give a **** about your Raiders, your new head coach. Brady could've easily said something like "I don't have a dog in the fight BUT i won't be upset if the team in Foxboro wins" or something like that. ****ing fraud. Does anyone remember deflategate? when we all went to bat for him? when most of us told kraft to **** himself for giving in for the "good of the 32"? Brady is and always has been a ****ing fraud as a person. Hocking $80 vegan protein and $25 bags of nuts, preaching about health, pliability, etc and now you're doing pizza hut commercials. **** you tom. Willing to bet most of the people on PatsFans turning a blind eye to Brady's comments and dismissing his fanbase of 20+ years are not from New England and they are pats fans who "picked" the Pats as "their" team when they were playing Madden and liked throwing Hail Mary's to Randy Moss.
I cannot wait for Brady to do a Fox game at Gillette next year so everyone can give him a piece of their mind.

Yup they will give him a standing ovation.

 

[Sect140]

Clown post of the year right here!

I’m guessing he has 9 out of 10 of them.

 

[Sect140]

Nothing to do with the Brady soap opera. Why is he talking to the press when he hasn’t even practiced this week.

 

[libra957]

At least Belichick will root for the Pats....right?....right?

 

[Tunescribe]

You don't see the irony; do you?

No, I don't and there's no telling whatever you've conjured or construed.

We did have a hand in that. We chose to kick him to the curb when we should have treated him much better. I remember some many on here saying they only care about players who play for Pats. Hypocrisy of fans always amuses me.

This notion of "hypocrisy" for not supporting an ex-player from the team you root for, while he plays for another team, makes no sense whatsoever.

It hurts a bit that he said this. I think and hope it is to do with Raiders ownership/hiring Hawks OC + being a broadcaster and not because he is still salty about how things ended.

Nonsense. The man sure as hell better not be "salty." That is, after being inducted EARLY into the Patriots Hall of Fame -- before a packed stadium -- boldly declaring "I'm a Patriot for life!" and attending the unveiling of a statue in his honor.

But please, you don't call yourself a "Patriot for life" and then say you have "no dog in the fight" -- especially when the team you made your legacy with is coached by a friend/former teammate.

Other than my momentary annoyance at him. My feelings about him do not change. But you have some clowns in this thread insulting and berating him. That part is not ok.

Arguably just as annoying are your weird takes.

This is the last thing he should be worried about. I don't want to see him standing on the sidelines during the game.

He's not "worried" about it, he simply answered a question from the press.

 

[Jim Plunkett]

I think you fail to realize that he is still and always has been under the thumb of billionaires. Everything he says on television is filtered though the permission of the league and the network.

 

[Tunescribe]

Tom's issue is he is constrained.

During his TB12 days of strict dietary regimen, one assumed he had ample fiber in his diet. But now that he's hawking Pizza Hut, well ...

 

[RxJock1120]

Highly doubt he’s scared or jealous of Maye

Why do you doubt that???

Maye is 25 years younger, has the rocket arm and running ability Brady did not, is going to the SB with his former team, Maye is talk of the town, bringing glory back to NE, building his own legacy in NE, etc....and Brady is not, can't play the game that gave him everything. Sure seems like a good reason to feel some jealousy.

Do you honestly think great athletes don't want to be know as the greatest ever and don't want anyone to even come close to threatening their legacy?!

It's extremely unlikely that Maye will have the type of career that could do anything to negatively affect Brady's legacy and if he does end up having a career that overshadows Brady's, Brady will be like 70 by then.

I don't think Brady's outlook on the Super Bowl matchup has anything to do with Drake Maye. But you could very well be right, I'm not in Tom Brady's head.

 

[fair catch fryar]

TB12 is the greatest of all time...fact. Tom Brady the person is kind of a dorky tool that lacks a social IQ. Don't get too wrapped up in it.

 

[fnordcircle]

Press asks question to player required to attend press dealie. Person gives answer.

Fans: "WHY ISN'T HE DOING BURPEES OR MEMORIZING THE PLAYBOOK?!?!?!"

Swear to god, some of you guys are unhinged.

That's a good one, I needed a laugh.

GOAT player, not just QB. And, a dink.

Name a sports GOAT who wasn't a weirdo off the field/court. Usually they struggle at their next jobs too.

Brady/Jordan/Gretzky/and idk you you want to say is the GOAT in baseball but I know a bunch of contenders were freaks.

He doesn't effing care. He's a millionaire.
He's not Al Bundy.

 

[Grogan14]

Brady not ever even calling or contacting Drake Maye to give him a shout out is a disgrace.
Maye is a humble likable very young QB who idolized both Brady and Newton and both of them have treated him like dog ****.

I know he is minority owner of the Raiders and wants Maye and the Patriots to fail so his Raiders will do well...
but come on, its just common decency to give Maye a call and congratulate him on his success.

I think Brady's behavior is a combination of his competitiveness and not wanting to give any support to Maye, but also I think he has great resentment under the surface for both Kraft and BB and the Pats organization.

 

[Kdo5]

I have the utmost respect and appreciation for him as a player but it’s been pretty clear that he still has some resentment toward the organization.

He’ll pay some token appreciation to the team or region but it’s painfully obvious that he doesn’t care and feels we owe him more than he owes us. He wouldn’t be wrong, I just don’t like the dog and pony show with the statue and “I’m a Patriot for life” crap.

It’s long since he’s been “a Patriot”. As far as I’m concerned he is an owner of the Raiders and hopefully his **** hole organization continues to suck.

Btw I find ‘Brady firsters’ intolerable. I respect those of us who knew our 2023/2024 teams were ****ing awful and yet watched every game anyhow. I definitely know some people who acted like Bucs fans and now are trying to crawl onto the bandwagon.
