You just a know there were haters out there saying things like "see, I knew he was overrated" when the team was down 25 points, as if they were vindicated some how. Then they had to watch that happenHaters can't even deny it anymore.
This gives me great joy.You just a know there were haters out there saying things like "see, I knew he was overrated" when the team was down 25 points, as if they were vindicated some how. Then they had to watch that happen
Well, the ones who were still watching.You just a know there were haters out there saying things like "see, I knew he was overrated" when the team was down 25 points, as if they were vindicated some how. Then they had to watch that happen
Winning percentage of QB's not named Tom Brady on that list is 0.241. Adding Brady makes the winning percentage go up by 0.07. He also has over half of the total wins for QB's in that group.Holy shit that is incredible.
Yeah but what about the taxes??Brady giving the MVP truck to James White
Two years ago, he gave it to Butler

More clutch? He helped dig some holes but for me that fourth quarter/OT was the most clutch you can get.People trashing him after a bad game would have been pretty dumb. Career resume was probably there before the game anyways and he still was at God mode level this year. Nice little capstone though for sure.
Just wish he was more clutch. Threw more picks in the playoffs than he did all year!
No! I refuse to like Shannon Sharpe.Shannon Sharpe:
"When you are a great player -- and I wasn’t the player that Tom Brady is, but they didn’t compare me to other players, they compared me to a younger me. That’s the comparison they make with Tom Brady. The guy that’s been going to Super Bowls every 2.3 years since he’s entered the National Football League.
"So to make this about Deflategate … he was somehow more motivated? Did he understand what he was up against? Absolutely. The guy missed a quarter of a season. He knew what happened.
"Has he moved on? Sure. Does he not know what happened? Of course he does. He knows what commissioner Goodell did. He feels he was wrongly accused. And just because you forgive doesn’t mean you ever forget. But Tom Brady’s fire doesn’t burn because of Deflategate. It burns because he was a sixth-round draft pick. He still views himself as that. He’s fueled by championships, because that’s that’s the only thing that matters to him."

I watched that Sharpe - Bayless show for the first time last night. Hate them both but wanted to soak up anything. Skip said Brady is not just the best QB and football player of all time, but maybe the greatest and most clutch athlete of all time. He is more clutch than Jordan.No! I refuse to like Shannon Sharpe.
That was a great drive, all suspense. The one in OT, when I looked at it again with the pressure off, kind of felt like the World Series in '04. There was no way the Cardinals were stopping the Red Sox after the comeback against the Yankees. Somebody said mosquito against rhinoceros chance.Ryan Rusillo and Tim Hasselbeck made a great point on ESPN Radio today. The momentum was such and the sense of inevitability was so obvious that people have all but overlooked that the tying drive had to go 91 yards, which isn't exactly easy to do.
I believe that Buck said during the game that it would be tied for the longest drive they had all year. And they did it in 2:33Ryan Rusillo and Tim Hasselbeck made a great point on ESPN Radio today.

Got 57. Of the 8 I missed, the only name I recognized immediately was David Thomas. Who the fuck is Andre Davis?I've posted this on the site before, but I always like to break this chestnut out every couple of years to see how well I'm keeping up with the GOAT's career. 35/65, I apparently still have foggy new father brain.

That last drive was a master class of ball distribution. Brady has certainly been guilty on locking in on guys over the years, but everyone had a key catch or play. I know Brady likes to say his favorite receiver is the open one, but he and McD called a hell of a drive to close it out. Amazing.That was a great drive, all suspense.

No real thread for this type of thing

No doubt. It is a masterstroke of team and individual handling of an even that turns the hated, dynasty that always wins into the bereaved martyr with a chip on their shoulder, but that is how it played out. A different group may use the loss of draft picks as an excuse.I get the whole idea where Brady is just as pumped for the Super Bowl no matter what, but I can't separate Deflategate entirely. Forget motivation. A group of people united under the belief that what they are doing is righteous is a dangerous group of people, no matter what it's about.
http://deadline.com/2017/02/tom-brady-new-england-patriots-book-movie-the-finest-hours-writing-creative-team-1201912990/A new book and feature film project about Tom Brady, who has won more Super Bowls than any quarterback in NFL history, is on its way. Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, the writers behind Disney’s The Finest Hours who were nominated for an Oscar for The Fighter, and New York Times bestselling author Casey Sherman are reteaming again.
Sorry hard to see this being a good movie, unless it just focuses on year 1 and 2.
Excellent!If it wins an Oscar do the producers give the award to the producers of the Malcolm Butler film?
Raging Bull?Sorry hard to see this being a good movie, unless it just focuses on year 1 and 2.
I can't think of a good bio movie about a superstar athlete.

The Brady book and film will chronicle the New England Patriots superstar’s come-from-behind win in Super Bowl LI, but it’s not going to shy away from controversy and will include the team’s battle to overcome the Deflategate debacle in 2014, follow Brady’s fall from grace and then his triumphant return to lead the Patriots to his fifth world championship.

Makes my point it isn't the Sugar Ray Robinson story.Raging Bull?

Indeed. I just misread Reggies post because at times I am borderline functionally illiterate.You realize that wasn't a bio pic, right?
