OTAs - TB absence thread

[Ring 6]

What is clear to me is Brady did not think OTAs are as important as he says they are.

That’s kind of shaky. When a reporter puts a mike in front of Brady he is going to talk about whatever the team is doing as being important. And there is some level of importance but I trust his judgment if at 41 he feels he is fine without them.

It is not unreasonable at all to believe Tom is annoyed by his under market contract or his personal Mr Miyagi has been banned.

Yes it is. He has not said word 1 about his contract. Whether or not he wishes his buddy was hired as the team trainer is meaningless. It’s just bs created by people trying to bring the franchise down that you were suckered into believing.
For 18 years Brady has separated management from football. He has supported personnel decisions, never crying for more weapons, when at times he needed them, literally never questioning the organization. Why would he change that because he thinks he should dictate the training staff.
You are being duped.

I trust his judgement too but not showing up for the voluntary sessions does indicate that they were his #1 priority.

You are right but I still think he wants more money and hes miffed Mr Miyagi was blacklisted.

Actually he did freak out on Pioli in 2005 after a Monday night home game vs Denver in which they lost and asked him to go get some receivers.

Who cares? I think we can agree going to or skipping OTAs are not going to affect the season. I guess they aren’t Belichicks #1 priority either since he skipped one to go to Fenway and cancelled 2 others.
But once when he was asked he said they were important.

Why do you think he wants more money? There isn’t even an unconfirmed report that he has even floated the idea.

Excellent point.

I just do. Gut feel. I know Kraft said both he and Tom are ok with the contract situation but I'm not buying it.

Link?

Actually it was in 2006. No link. Someone reported it. I remember hearing it.

He was all pissed off when Milloy was cut too....but everyone was.

Overall Brady has been a great soldier.

Well I’m not sure how to discuss your gut feeling about something you have absolutely zero knowledge of. You are literally making it up out of thin air. What’s the point?

And you remember hearing it doesn’t hold any water either.

You are trying to make an argument that disparages the GOAT with absolutely nothing to support it. Don’t you have better things to do?
Make negative stuff up about the jete instead.

I swear this fan base has gone crazy.

I have nothing better to do.

There is no doubt Tom has evolved as a person and shes had a major influence. Hell 27 years ago I chewed tobacco, spent 20hrs in the gym lifting weights, watched Ren and Stimpy and didn't like Jewish people.

Then I met Mrs RW (who is Jewish) stopped chewing, started long distance running and got hooked on Melrose Place.

Meeting me could change your opinion about Jews back the other way.

 

[Ring 6]

I have nothing better to do.

Then spend your time making things up to trash the other 31 teams instead.

I did nothing to trash Tom. I stated that hes probably not satisfied with his contract and POd Mr Miyagi was banished.

If you think that is trashing you are hypersensitive

Ha. Nah.

You are making up out of thin air that he has a negative attitude, is unhappy with his paycheck, angry over a trading decision and implying he refused to attend OTAs thereby putting pouting ahead of the team.

Of course that’s trashing him and it’s the worst kind of thrashing, you are pretending to know his thoughts and your pretend is 180 degrees different than any of his actions.

I don’t know man, I think if I met you and didn’t know better, based upon your drinking stories I’d think you were Irish

You are going bat **** crazy over this.

Speculating that someone believes they are underpaid and not pleased with how their business partner was treated is not trashing someone.

Calling Tom a moron for partnering with a snake-oil salesman and saying water prevents sunburns is trashing.

 

[Ring 6]

Nope

Speculating that someone believes they are underpaid and not pleased with how their business partner was treated is not trashing someone.

Of course it is because you are using those made up thoughts to advance an argument that his commitment to the team is suffering.

Calling Tom a moron for partnering with a snake-oil salesman and saying water prevents sunburns is trashing.

So we are moving into other methods of trashing the guy now?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Nope

Of course it is because you are using those made up thoughts to advance an argument that his commitment to the team is suffering.

That is not trashing. Its a speculative statement.

So we are moving into other methods of trashing the guy now?

For those two examples, yes. I'd say the same thing about my own brother.

I’m as pale as an Irishman and drink like 2 and am 1/2 as charming

Sounds like it all evens out

In college I filled in tending bar in Boston, most Irishmen weren't 1/2 as charming as they believed they were at 2 when they'd had more than enough to drink for 3

The good news is that your excessive drinking will protect your pale skin from the sun.

That’s exactly what I’ve told all of my (ex-) girlfriends!
