I think everyone needs to calm down. That fool said what he said for attention, but at the same time, he's telling the truth.
Last year, I did not think we were that great of a team, we were just better than anyone in the AFC because other teams lacked a decent QB. If the Texans had a QB, we would not have played in the SB. That D had the blueprint and Brady was embarrassing himself at times. Yes, I'm going by what I saw in the game and it was not good. Then we had to face sorry Pittsburgh, who unfortunately still gets hyped because of the past and a good receiver -- the team sucks and have sucked since Tomlin took over, no ring will change that fact.
That Superbowl, like it or not, was rigged and rehearsed. As soon as I saw all the Muhammad Ali references in the preshow, I said they were foreshadowing the game and Brady would have some type of comeback, but dang, I didn't think they would go all out and recreate Ali vs Frazier in NFL format. The plagerism or tribute was straight uncanny and the suspension of disbelief was even worse.
Nobody is going to convince me that ATL's defense got tired from the old rope-a-dope and Brady knocked them out. Again, my judgement on the matter will not be blinded by my fandom. Brady or ATL's D had nothing to do with Matt Ryan and his offense playing completely out of character towards the end, they go from practically walking into the end zone all night, to Ryan standing in the pocket, waiting for hits/sacks or to intentionally overthrow his receiver, he could've at least managed the clock, the mess was outright comedy at that point . They were practically waiting or hoping that Brady would outscore them. At no point, did I think we would lose, while watching the game, because I knew in my gut that it was rigged in our favor.
Brady clearly stop pursuing his appeal of Deflategate because the *32 gave him an offer he couldn't refuse, which was likely the next 2 SBs and a chance to recreate the dynasty aura in New England before his retirement, as long as he didn't expose the league for the frauds that they are. Sad.
I didn't even get excited after the Superbowl, I was actually disappointed with the product. I did shed a tear, when the overwhelmed Brady fell to his knees, the guy truly deserves an Oscar for that gratifying moment, it was almost as good as Game of Thrones, when the North rallied around Ned Stark's bastard, Jon Snow instead of the legitimate Stark girl and crowned him the King of the North. They've been my favorite characters for years and they deserve every honor; However, Brady's story was horribly written last season, compared to Jon Snow's.
As I said before, I have to start thinking of the NFL as I do with the WWE and talk about it in kayfabe. I would actually find myself more happy for my team and fussing about the audacity of Bill Politan, if I did. Otherwise, the storylines last year sucked and the league could definitely use new writers, better halftime performances, and a decent commercial for the SB. The whole show was garbage last year.
The rant is over and now I'm going into my shell until the season starts with the "One more for Brady campaign." The story of Brady v Garrapolo should be fun, almost like Jon Snow v Sansa Stark if it comes to that. I'll be watching... I think.
