That bogus roughing call was the closest KC came to Brady all day. You can't just let him sit back there and pick you apart, but that's what happened on all those third down conversions the Pats had. I feel bad for that KC linebacker that lined up offsides and nullified what would have been a game clinching interception, he has to think about that all season. Tom Brady is one of the most amazing athletes I have ever seen. He's a scientist, like Greg Maddux in baseball, not the most physically gifted but just picking you apart with mathematical precision. I am not a Pats fan, but how can you not admire what they have accomplished? In some ways, Brady's career reminds me of Bill Russell in basketball. Plenty of people have better individual stats, but he knows how to run his team and get the most from them. It's all about winning. I've been watching the NFL since the best QBs were Johnny Unitas and YA Tittle, and there is nobody I would rather have starting a big game than Brady. Until recently I thought it was a coin flip between Brady and Joe Montana for best ever, but I am totally in the Brady camp now, and nothing but respect for Joe Cool, but what Brady has accomplished is insane. And Belichick -- jeez, a freaking wizard. I feel badly for Andy Reid, who is a great coach and a good guy and always beloved by his players. But he is a lot better from September to December than he is in January. |

Screw Brady, his stupid ass diet, and his annoying ass wife. I hope his arm falls off. Him and Belichick are a bunch of cheaters anyway. Spygate and Deflategate. Never forget.

Some of the absolutely ridiculous catches made by his receivers looked like they may have been playing with Nerf footballs. Uh-oh...You don’t think they deflated the balls again, do you?... 🤭 |

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.......... |

And I’ll add a few Jeff Georges, Art Schlisters, and even a Marty Domres to your potential baggage (if you’ll go to the B’more years)... Don't blame you at all, Inger. Irsay is right in there with Modell in the All Time Jerk Owner competition. (BTW I am sure you meant to say the Colts moved to Indy, not Cleveland.) The Baltimore Colts were a great franchise and I hate that you lost your team, then I lost my team, which then moved into the spot where your team had been and which neither of us like. Haha, Marty Domres from Columbia, I believe? A blast from the past. You also had Jack Trudeau and David Humm and Mike Pagel. I can even remember when Gary Cuozzo was Johnny U's backup -- he was a dentist in the offseason, I do believe -- Cuozzo, not Johnny Unitas. Famously Earl Morrall. One of my earliest NFL memories was of Unitas's predecessor as starting QB, a guy named George Shaw. I remember getting his football card when other guys in the pack would be like John Henry Johnson and Ollie Matson and Leo Nomellini and Sam Huff. That was actually my favorite era of football, because the memories are just fuzzy enough to slip into the realm of dreams. |

That roughing the passer call vs. KC was a tremendous boost to NE as well. They might as well get WWE referees to do these games... I’ll give NE their just due. Once they got the chance in OT they did what they always do. Besides, in 15 years we may be getting sick of all of Mahomes records and post-season success... of course by then, I’ll be eighty, so who knows what I’ll know or not know.... Damn. Eighty? I never thought I’d get past my mid fifties...but here I am... That bogus roughing call was the closest KC came to Brady all day. You can't just let him sit back there and pick you apart, but that's what happened on all those third down conversions the Pats had. I feel bad for that KC linebacker that lined up offsides and nullified what would have been a game clinching interception, he has to think about that all off season. Dee Ford is a free agent who is going to get a huge contract from someone so don’t feel too badly for him. |

I don’t believe Kaybli knows hatred at all. The closest he comes to that is disappointment and a tinge of sadness for that which
disappoints him...

By hate I mean light hearted sports hate that's all in good fun. I don't take my sports too seriously. I say that as a dude with a million posts on a Yankee message board. |

[img class="smile" src="//storage.proboards.com/6828121/images/udcwFqPimnXDtjoTmoVL.gif" alt=" "] 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! |
