Earl Morrall. What a story he was...The most illogical hero the sport ever knew...well, maybe the second most illogical behind George Blanda... Blanda sure had an astounding couple of years in his late forties, pulling Darryl Lamonica's bacon out of the fire game after game. Nick Foles last year and even part of this year was pretty improbable, but we don't have the full picture for him yet. |

I don't take this stuff very seriously either, pipps. It's just in my blood to hate Tom Brady and the Patriots. I'm a very bitter Giants fan clinging to whatever hate I can. [img src="//storage.proboards.com/6828121/images/udcwFqPimnXDtjoTmoVL.gif" alt="  " class="smile"] lol, why the hate? The Giants are 2-0 against the Pats in the Super Bowl.  |

[img class="smile" alt=" " src="//storage.proboards.com/6828121/images/udcwFqPimnXDtjoTmoVL.gif"] I hear you, Kaybli. We root for our teams the same way. Since MLB takes up most of my sports energy, I focus my hate corpuscles on the Red Sox and, to a lesser extent, the Mets (which would change if they became good again -- you can't imagine what it was like being the only guy in America rooting against the Miracle Mets of 1969.) With the Browns so bad for so long, I lost my capacity to hate any single NFL team that much. I think the last team I truly hated was the Buddy Ryan Eagles. I sort of hate the Golden State Warriors, but it's kind of a detached hate and actually quite meaningless. I am more prepared to hate the Lakers if they become serious contenders, as they seem to be on the verge of doing. It always cracks me up when you refer to some player or umpire as "you bum." I almost always agree with you when you say it, but your timing with it is impeccable and you think to say it before I do! Hahahah, I try to keep it as PG as possible. I'm thinking words much worse than "you bum!"
Oooooooh, I hated those Buddy Ryan Eagles too back in the day. And their QB Randall Cunningham. Now I have a grudging respect for Randall and use him in Madden (video game) to scramble around and irritate my brother when I play him.
Hey, at least the Browns are looking up now right?

I don't know if I would try his diet, but I would try his wife. As for Deflategate, to me that is the most overblown scandal in sports history. I remember that game very well, and Brady did better in the second half against Indy with "legitimate" footballs than he did in the first half with deflated footballs. Presumably those footballs have been closely monitored ever since, with no decrease in his effectiveness. And of course several other big name QBs stepped up -- if memory serves Aaron Rodgers was one of them -- and said they also liked to play with footballs of non-compliant weights. They started shutting up when it looked like Brady was headed for trouble. I don't think Tom Brady turns into Ryan Leaf or Browning Nagle when he uses footballs of the prescribed inflation level. A lot of people hated Brady long before deflategate came around. I think it had more to do with him seeming to be a guy who had it all, and for reasons I don't understand that annoys a lot of people. Hey, I'm a Cleveland Browns fan, what do I know? When you go years with the likes of Colt McCoy and Brandon Weedon and Tim Couch and Johnny Manziel and Cody Kessler and Charlie Frye and Brady Quinn and Seneca Wallace and DeShone Kizer as your field general, you start seeing mirages when you think of guys like Brady. And yeah Belichick coached the Browns just before he became a genius. I don't take this stuff too seriously and I don't think you do either, Kaybli. But thanks for giving me an excuse to give a very partial list of Browns QBs during the time Brady has started for New England. It makes me a little slap-happy. And then there was Tyrod Taylor and Derek Anderson and Trent Dilfer and Kelly Holcomb and.......... I don't take this stuff very seriously either, pipps. It's just in my blood to hate Tom Brady and the Patriots. I'm a very bitter Giants fan clinging to whatever hate I can.

Sorry GF, I had to take that one final shot. [img class="smile" alt=" " src="//storage.proboards.com/6828121/images/udcwFqPimnXDtjoTmoVL.gif"] Reporter: Tom, what do you think of kaybli? Brady: I'll forgive you for not addressing me as "sir" this time, but is kaybli the guy that started that wonderful He amy ha web site? Reporter: Yes sir, Sir Thomas Brady: I love that site. We all do, us super athletes. Sort of keeps us in our place you, know? Could you hold my sceptor while I tie my street shoes? Thanks. My friend Karl actually gave him the idea. Karl and I used to walk to the library together when I'd go in to look up new plays and study the effects of inflation on footballs. Actually, it was Karl that taught me the physics behind deflating footballs, and I met my wife, Giselle...I met her one night when Karl had some 'left over" ladies he couldn't handle. I'd always hang with him so I could meet girls. Anyway, love you and your website, kaybli. Maybe we can kiss some time... |

More from Brady on his wife:
It's tough being married to a supermodel wife. You guys just don't know. I've used tweezers on parts of her I didn't even know girls had. And while she's nice to look at, she has the breath of a komodo dragon. And down THERE? I bought her a grooming kit but had to include a hedge trimmer, a leaf blower and a lawn vac to keep it all neat. Of course she has to maintain her precious thigh gap, so the kids and I have to watch her carry a bowling ball at the top of her thighs around the house. Housework? Yeah, it gets done, but not with those nails it doesn't. I broke a nail dusting on a Saturday one week this season and Uncle Bill was really angry...
All right, I'll stop now, but only because GF is a fan...But I will admit that whether I like it or not, the man has certainly maintained his QB skills to ripe age for QB's. He must be really dedicated to working out and practicing...As far as Giselle goes, I believe the bloom is starting to fade off that rose. That's how life goes. By the age of 50 or so we all look alike...Super hot chicks are usually a pain anyway...

I love the team like I love the Yankees but I don’t know these people personally so they’re more than fair game just like Saint Jeter was. These people don’t know we are alive. On your last comments though, last year we “met” Gisele leaving a game. I’m sorry to tell you she’s still absolutely beautiful in person. Maybe not Alex Rodriguez-Centaur kissing himself in the mirror beautiful, but pretty hot nonetheless. |

I used to love me some scrambling quarterbacks...Fran Tarkenton!!! I don't know if he qualified as scrambling, but remember Joe Kapp with the Vikings? He was famous for hurdling over would-be tacklers. And Peyton and Eli's daddy Archie could scramble pretty well too -- not that he had much choice on those awful Saints teams he played for. |
