the Tom Brady/Patriots shameless dickriding thread

[st33lersguy]

Like how no one ever mentions that Tom Brady rode cheat tactics to three of his Super Bowl wins, and the morons in the league office have specifically legislated the game around protecting Brady

[steel striker]

Ok, I'll start.

"He embodies leadership."

He also comes off as a smug SOB for the way he acts when things don't go so well. Like throwing temper tirads on the sidline and, throwing water bottles everywhere.

So I pretty much gave up watching any sports TV, reading any sports websites. WTF, 12 jerseys polluting my porn sites!!! Last thing I want to see a half naked girlie wearing, UGH!

It will be interesting to hear how the media spins the decline of the Pats after they lose another SB. They have already hyped the fact of just attending the SB is a major accomplishment in preparation for the loss. I don't see how Vegas has the Giants losing by 3?

Unfortunately, because they were a 9-7 team and got some breaks in the playoffs while facing three opponents who had a bad game. I am bracing myself for the worst, but hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

Here we go ... this one was hard to resist. Maybe one of the best yet. Slurp, slurp, slurp.


12 things to know about Tom Brady
Pats QB likes hummus, started surfing and just might call ya "babe"

INDIANAPOLIS -- The well-meaning gentleman on the phone says there are no new stories left to tell about Tom Brady. The No. 199 thing? It's been done. And done. The Tom-Brady-hates-to-lose-so-much-that-it-hurts yarn? Google that, and it'll get you 4 million hits. The ground has been plowed here; there's nothing else to say. Tom Brady is married to a supermodel, for God's sake. He can't even go to Vegas, much less buy diapers at the store, without being stalked by paparazzi.

So therein lies the problem this Super Bowl week, of writing a story about a quarterback who's been to five of these things, who's been dissected on this stage as he's led his team to the biggest sports spectacle in the world. What can you say about Tom Brady that hasn't been said? What could we possibly learn at this point?

Brady apparently is a generous guy. He gave each of his teammates, starters and scrubs, a pair of Ugg slippers (Brady endorses the product). For Christmas, he splurged for watches for his offensive linemen. Connolly says the big boys actually look quite stylish in the Uggs, which are known for their furry comfort.

"We're probably the best-dressed offensive linemen in the NFL thanks to Tom Brady," Connolly says.
