Amendola apparently bitter about time in New England:

Bill is employed by the team I root for so he's got my support.

How are you able to see games when Brady's nuts are in your face?

I think it's all in the delivery and what was said.

For example, in the past Ted Johnson had been highly critical of BB but I don't view him as being bitter.

Welker complained a little too but again was straight and to the point.

Gronk also has some beefs with how stifling Foxboro/BB is.

With DA, he *****ed. Especially when he went down the road about his contract.

You're such a great fan! I bet if Bill ever sees this post he will give you a big thumbs up and pin a medal to your chest for so vehemently defending his honor! Keep up the good work!

Stop projecting what you wish Brady would do for you lol.

I'm a Pats fan that's why I'm on here.

I agree but it is just funny to see people claim different things about ex-players comments based on where they stand themselves. Kind of like when PFF has some random stat about a Patriot that is good and it gets cited but if it is bad then everyone craps on PFF (like me I don't like a lot of their weird stats).

I love Danny and think he was as clutch as they come but Danny took the pay cuts. He could've tested the free agent waters but he didn't. So does it suck Bill kept coming to him to ask him to take less? Yes of course but at the same time the minute he could get more elsewhere he did. There was also the report that he was interested in re-signing here after he got cut in Miami but it never came to fruition. I agree to some extent about Danny's comments on the Patriot Way but he kind of loses creditability when he gripes about his contracts 30 seconds beforehand.

Delivery is important. But in this case it's the actual content. Compare what Dola said vs what Butler and now Devon have said. Dola completely dismisses the contribution of other great players that have been huge contributors to the success and puts the onus on one single player.

Totally. I think people in general have a hard time changing their beliefs or their pov. I know i'm guilty of it.

I think as a person, Amendola has very low social awareness, is emotional and doesn't think before he speaks.

For example after when Olivia Culpo dumped him he published this long-winded, rambling Instagram note about their relationship, sex life, his problems, her problems, their problems etc. I remember my oldest - who follows him showed it to me. It was a lesson on what NOT to do after a breakup.

Devin McCourty -

“I think ‘Dola is trying to let people know Tom’s greatness. I don’t think that came out the correct way at all,” McCourty admitted. “What he said about the coaches is true. It’s watching film and putting guys in the best position. When I think about the Patriot Way, though, I think about a team. Whether you want to call Tom the best player of the Patriot Way and the leader of it, no doubt about it. But you can’t tell me in all of those games and all of these years throughout that the defense and other guys haven’t had something to do with that. That’s all guys coming in. That's all guys believing in that. We’ve had great players across the board, we’ve had guys like Darrelle Revis, Vince Wilfork, Tedy Bruschi, Willie McGinest, Ty Law, those guys -- Ty Law is a Pro Football Hall of Famer. He is the Patriot Way also.

His friggin boat, "8 Rings" when he has won 6 as a HC tells you everything you need to know. Did I also mention the hubris to think he could replace the GOAT with any jamoke and think he was going to keep winning? The man is ludicrously arrogant for anyone to see with an IQ over a houseplant. Apparently you are "challenged" in this department.
