The dude just wrapped up one of the best seasons by a quarterback ever, has a career 92.9 rating and three Super Bowl rings. And he's just 30-years-old. That's fucking scary.
-
i think that's why they hate tom brady
-
Why do people hate SUCCESS?!
-
Could be I think FOOTBALL SUX lololol
-
"Men want to be him and women want to be with him". Well, actually, most men want to be with him too. He's so dreamy. :heart
On another level, how can you not hate the devil?
-
Why do people hate SUCCESS?!
Exactly.
There are but two good reasons to hate the Pats, Rodney Harrison and Bill Belicheck.
I can't think of a good reason to hate Brady, jealousy is not attractive. Brady is, though :-*
-
He's reeeeeeaaaally cocky. I admire what he's done this season, but it's apparent that he does as well, even moreso than me.
-
If Brady wins the Super Bowl then the conversation will be: Montana or Brady?
-
Montana was super successful and people did not hate him like they do Brady.
So, I think it has more to do with his arrogance and the geographic region of his team.
-
The conversation I was talking about was who is the greatest QB ever.
By the by, Brady is the first cold-weather QB to average 300 passing yards per game for a season. He played one dome game all year. All his games after Thanksgiving were outdoors in the north.

I dunno, why does GAF hate Michael Jordan and love Tracy McGrady? :lol
I can understand people hating on Vrabel for being dirty, or Bellicheck for being a bastard, but Brady? The only reason people hate him is because the media loves him; that's a horrible reason to hate somebody. It's not Brady's fault announcers "slob his cock" through entire games. Maybe if Alex Smith had a 92% QB rating they'd slob his cock too, and GAF would rest on the seventh day.

I don't have a problem with Peyton Manning, I like how he can make fun of himself and have good time doing it (his commercials and the SNL appearance, for example). However, Brady just comes off like a total douche. He's got that "I'm so fucking awesome, why don't you just suck my cock right now?" fratboy swagger. He's an extremely gifted athlete, but a douche nonetheless.

How does that qualify him as a douche? He works harder than anyone, is humble, doesn't play with the media like Peyton, etc. He's a quiet, serious dude on a righteous mission man: to be the very best, like no one ever was
When I think of arrogance I think of someone so physically talented that they feel they don't have to work hard, respect the game, or be a team player. None of those things come to mind with Brady

He might be the very best (and I would probably agree with you), but he's still a douche in my eyes.
And honestly, why get your panties in a bunch over it? Don't worry about it and just enjoy the football.

You can't look cocky while doing the Manning-face.
-
Don't most of the GAF posters who like T-Mac also like MJ?
Back when I skimmed the NBA threads, being a fan of T-Mac was usually just a way of being anti-Kobe, and being anti-Kobe was a way of trying to protect Jordan's legacy.
-
As if Jordan's legacy needs protecting. :lol
-
That's what you'd think, but it doesn't keep DM et al from getting super-defensive.
Anyway, Tom Brady hate is basically equivalent to A-Rod hate.

Things have taken a turn for the worse :lol
distantmantra: My panties aren't in a bunch, I'm just curious as to why he gets such hate. Perhaps it's because while he is definitely a great QB, many people have always tried to say he's not in the "Montana/Young/Elway/Marino/etc" league like the media tries to insinuate. Well after this year it's hard to deny he's near the door
And I met Brady and shook his hand when he played for Michigan :heartbeat

Brady is the anti-A-Rod in the post season. And he's the anti-A-Rod when it comes to salary negotiations. I don't see the comparison.

He is good and his fans are obnoxious.
Might as well compare him to Jeter then.
-
Successful pretty-boy resentment. Like when people had the sense to hate on Leo DiCaprio. And yeah, Jeter generates a good amount of hate outside NY.
To keep the backlash at a minimum, you need some grizzled, salt-of-the-earth PR, like Favre.
-
I think my hate for him also stems from my hate for all Boston sports this year. Seriously, they're fucking dictating all of sports.
-
I don't like Brady because people act like he's the next Montana, and there is no next Montana.
:heartbeat Joe Montana

1. The need for homoerotic mythological sports worship by the masse creates false legends far too quickly
2. Watching his actual play hasn't ever impressed me that much. Even a guy like Peyton, another case of reason #1, has made throws that I've said "wow, that was a tough throw". I've never seen Brady do that. Something less impressive about a system guy. When he goes deep to Moss, it is often junk that Moss bails him out of.
-
"Men want to be him and women want to be with him". Well, actually, most men want to be with him too. He's so dreamy. :heart

I love you.

He doesn't throw the deep ball as well as Manning, but he can still throw it 50+ yards.

Quarterbacks do not throw that many deep balls in a game. They just need the threat of the deep pass.
-
That play was awesome on so many levels.
GODDAMN IT FUilhdsihfkjsafgdsge

Here's what I don't understand when folks say Brady is cocky - he is easily one of the most humble guys in media sessions. He's always spouting "team first" crap and stuff like that. I mean, even Peyton calls out his idiot kicker. I guess it's just pretty boy resentment. His on and off-the-field actions don't seem to jive with the, "He's a giant douche!" assessment. From all indications, he's a great teammate and what not.
Which is the opposite of A-Rod. From the hand slap to throwing teammates under the bus to announcing he's opting out of his contract during the World Series, A-Rod is a dick.
-
Kickers don't count as teammates. Especially Canadian kickers. It's the equivalent of throwing the waterboy under the bus.
-
Brady seems to hit Moss in stride pretty well Etiolate.

Brady doesn't have a cannon, but he does have a strong arm and he's easily one of the most accurate QBs I've ever seen play the game.

lol
That's why I don't talk sports on GAF.
-
I'm trying to get my ass in shape and rather than offer words of support he just said I should buy bigger shirts. He's an ASSHOLE.
Wait I think that's someone else.
-
Brady is smart as hell and knows what he can and can't do. I'd rather have him QB for my Superbowl team than Peyton
