Whether or not you believe Brady is guilty of misconduct in the Deflategate case, the Patriots' star currently ranks without peer among American sports villains. This is true for a number of reasons:

• Brady wins -- a lot. He has the highest winning percentage (.773) of any quarterback in NFL history, and none of the other 31 teams has a winning record against him. The Buffalo Bills, in particular, have suffered greatly at Brady's hands. He's 23-3 against the Bills with 58 touchdown passes and 19 interceptions.

• Brady has four Super Bowl rings, a supermodel wife and has earned approximately $150 million in salary over the course of his career. Jealous?

• Brady is the premier player on a team perceived by many NFL observers to operate on the fringes of fair play -- if not in outright defiance of the rulebook at times. He currently faces a four-game suspension over the Deflategate scandal.

However, Brady shouldn't lose too much sleep over barbs and slights hurled by trolls. As LeBron can attest, even the most spiteful critics eventually get bored and look to other targets for their schadenfreude.

Hell yeah.

The force is with you, young Andrew. But you are not a Jedi yet.

 

[PATS68]

How are those ratings and stock prices doing these days?

 

[NashuaPats]

Can you say...




Defamation lawsuit!

 

[karguy85]

Sure, he's a villain. Especially if you consider someone a villain if they are an all-time great NFL player who was drafted in the 6th round, had to work his way up to the top, has never said a bad word about anybody, and now is being railroaded and dragged through the mud by a multi-billion dollar corporation.

If Tom Brady is the villain, I want him to rape and murder every opponent this season.

 

[Patriot Missile]

That's ok. I rate Espn as the number 1 network of buffoons.

Keep clinging on to that football contract you morons. Your gonna need it over these next few years just to keep your network afloat.

 

[karguy85]

The fact that the NFL has allowed, and actively participated, in the destruction of the reputation of one of the few good role models in the NFL is really sad and absurd. Regardless of whether they initially thought something nefarious was going on, the way they handled the subsequent appeal, punishment, court appearance and everything else is reprehensible.

Of all women beaters, child beaters, drunk driving assholes, rapists, sex offenders, PED users, suspected murderers and gang affiliated players actively playing in professional sports, surely the #1 villain is Tom Brady, the guy who's being accused of deflating footballs despite zero evidence & playing better with properly inflating ones to finish the game + winning a SuperBowl vs the #1 defense of the decade.

Thanks ESPN.

Exceptionally Stupid Pr*cks Network.

Meanwhile Ray Lewis is enjoying his cushy job at ESPN. The Pats play Pittsburgh opening night and Rothlisberger is playing the role of the good guy.

Up is down and down is up. Welcome to the NFL and ESPN brought to you by the man of Integrity, Roger Goddell.

It's actually a funny read ....

It's villains in terms of who is the hero vs who is the villain and to many Brady is the bad guy here but we already knew this as does Brady .... and he's going to win to boot which will make the NFL the bad guys in the end.

on the Gene Steratore ....

 

[FourierSeries]

Those seem like arguments for why he's the GOAT, not a "villain."

 

[BradyFTW!]

ESPN, the #1 clown car in sports media.

Originally said in sports, but the NFL has em beat.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

ESPN..the joke network....

 

[Gronkowski123]

2015 in america

Damn that's funny. hahaha

 

[VectorPrime]

Tom Brady, more hated than Ben Rothelesberger serial rapist(i dont give a damn to spell his name right)

 

[shmessy]

Yeah, that's what I got from actually READING it.

It was one of the most complimentary pieces possible.

They basically listed all the ways Brady has dominated the NFL and life in general.

One might do well to actually READ it before going off on it.

(For those that are actually paying attention, Hannah Storm was the ESPN employee most deserving of our wrath today).
