OT: Official 2020 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[sb1]

The discussion was LT. Freak of nature physically. Ten cent head.

Maybe but in the modern game for sure you need intelligence defensively. And I think that might have even been true for QB's. Nobody would accuse guys like Bradshaw or Snake of being too cerebral.

So you don't dispute that Brady doesn't care about you. Yet you go on being his lap dog and follow him to Tampa....

I thought I'd seen most everything on the inter webs tubes & pipes, but this takes the cake. It never occurred to me to waste a picosecond's thought on whether some celebrity, athlete, public figure or whatever gave the slightest **** about me or any other fan.

Poster is saying, "Well, if TFB doesn't demonstrably care about ME, I'm not gonna pay any attention to him!" /snit

Newsflash, Bill Russell, Ted Williams, Bobby Orr, Wawwy Bird, etc. did not care one whit about me & others, yet many of us followed their entertaining exploits regardless.

Obviously, I don't mean ME personally, but I do mean he ought to care about his fans. You know, the same people who paid thousands of dollars to see him play, wear his merchandise, and buy his TB12 crap. Do you know what that makes me for following a guy who doesn't care about his fans? Stupid.

I don't feel like all athletes are like that though. Eli Manning, for example, refused to sign with another team as a backup. For him, it was "once a Giant, always a Giant, only a Giant." That is despite the fact that Giants fans gave him crap for his inconsistency. There are other examples too.

Sorry, replies from the 3 or 4 same dimwits is not taking a beating.

You're in a thread about the greatest player in our franchise's history spouting off conjecture and diminishing his accomplishments. You really think people aren't going to argue with you on some of your "takes"? Especially when your name on the forum is the name of the man you're continually bashing? Now you claim you "didn't know who he was" when you made that name? You used his own personal logo. A logo tied to the business partner of Brady who potentially started the alleged fracture in the relationship of Bill and Brady. Now you're in a thread you can easily just avoid pretending like you know what Brady is thinking or why he did what he did. You're either trolling or incredibly dense.

I've decided I will not watch Goodfellas anymore because Robert Deniro doesn't care about me.

I had that logo as an avatar for probably a decade...just to let you know since you are newer to the forum. Yes, a lot of information has come out about his personality since I joined the forum. Sorry that Brady is not universally loved and respected, especially outside of NE. Then his coach of 20 years comes out and says another guy he coached was the greatest he's ever coached and people like you go ballistic.

What has he done that has made you so upset? He left to play for another team? Let's say hypothetically Bill didn't run him out of town and he left because he simply didn't want to be a New England Patriot anymore, even if that were the case what does he owe the Patriots or the fanbase? More wins? More rings? I don't know how anyone can think he owes the team or the fans anything.

 

[Kontradiction]

Sounds like to me you're in denial over what the one guy who knows more about what those two men (LT and Brady) did on the field said...

When all else fails, a nice appeal to authority is the way to go, eh? Brady will retire as a Patriot. I know that must get you fuming. Maybe Bill will retire with a winning record without him.

Heh. Didn't even know Moss had that one.

I thought Brady would be right at the top in the NFC QB voting tbh. Just for the novelty.

 

[Kontradiction]

Clearly declining though.

Well, he’s apparently extremely unpopular outside of New England. Pro Bowl votes (from fans) and his record of jersey sales year after year (by fans) clearly proves that to be the case.

 

[Kontradiction]

"TommyBrady12" is taking a beating in here.

I know I’m late on this but I’m just catching up.

 

[amfootball]

Great stuff. Thanks!

Speaking of Avatar's:

A. why don't you have one anymore?
B. Who was that woman in your last Avatar?

How much does the fan vote count vs the coaches/media?

He'd be higher on the list if his team was doing better. Getting b*** slapped twice by the Saints, 4th down blunder vs Bears, and losses to the Rams and Chiefs are not a good look. And 4 out 5 of these loses were on national TV.

Brady and their offense is nothing to what I expected prior to the season as I expected near 2007 level.
