And to top off the ridiculousness of that excuse, according to Warner, the Rams practiced their red zone offense in their walk through. The one that was supposedly filmed in nefarious fashion giving the Patriots the cheating edge for their eeeeevil victory.
Now they're trying everything. He says he'll play forever, huh? Well, we'll get him injured, then.
Haha, I've had a few chats with Schreier and I've always liked that dude, but now it's war!
From where I sit, you're pretty much spot on until the last sentence. I feel like there's still a strong current in the mindset of most non NEP NFL fans that the Pats are cheaters. Jealousy blinds them from the ability to have rational thoughts.
That's actually a better cover. They should run with it.I do not take credit for this. It was posted in that Deadspin article.
LMAO. I had forgotten about this picture.
That isn't something that is unique to Brady though, all those same things could be said about LeBron James.
Good point, but there's a very different underlying dynamic behind the polarizing effects and hatred by non-fans. LeBron was always supposed to be good and he just attracts the criticizers of someone adorned "The King" before or ever if he really deserves it. That debate rolls on.
Lebron attracts it because he's a giant d-bag. I really want to like Lebron, he's a fantastic player and I really don't blame him for being a d-bag since he was pampered since he was 9. It's not just The Decision either. I don't believe I've ever heard Tom Brady call himself in the third person, explain after big games on how great he is and then when asked if he can get any better answer with things like I've been the best since I was 16.
I'm sensing some sweet Kellerman hot takes about how Brady only lets his kid play as the Pats because he wants to play as Aaron Rodgers so he can feel what's it's like to play football at so high a level.
Brady is not even close to being the most polarizing celebrity in modern professional sports. As said, LeBron is more polarizing. So are ARod and, a little earlier, Barry Bonds. Heck so is Bryce Harper for that matter.
Bryce Harper is not as polarizing as Brady. Not even close. That's a comical comment.
Especially now that he's finished.

I don't even know who Bryce Harper is.
Eh. Jeter's an asshole. Very good but overrated, a jerk towards women, kinda disdainful it always seemed to me, etc. he was easy to dislike.
What evidence is there that he is a Jerk to women? I mean, he gave a lot of them an STD, but the whole gift basket thing wasn't a jerk move. It's weird but I'd say it was not done out of malice at all.
Thank you, I agree 100%.
Now who's naive, Kay?
So it's you who believes your playing whatever at a high level when you play video games? When you play one of those block busting games do you believe your a high level demolition man?
And people -- at these prices, parents -- shell out $100+ to have the name of a cheating cheater who cheats on their backs?
I don't think non-football fans know who Newton is, but most know who Brady is and all about Deflategate (at least what was reported in the general media). I might have agreed with your point if you had thrown up Kaepernick instead of Newton though.
Things must have really changed since I moved out of there five or six years ago. Maybe the two SBs helped, but it was also before DFG, which must have hurt. I left in midseason 2011 and basically any time I wore my shirt to a bar, I got shit about it from strangers.
Pre-DFG the shit from strangers was mostly followed up with "I hate Belichick, but Brady's okay". Post DFG that's a little less true, though Belichick still draws the majority of the ire.
Without going full V&N, the Brady/BB/Kraft-Trump relationships have added an element to Pats hate that didn't exist before.
