and as for online shit about Super Bowl ads, which condemns endorsing unity and racial tolerance, featuring Martin Luther King Jr. speeches; DEAL WITH THIS!

There were/are plenty of awesome QBs who could whoop Brady's deplorable ass.

Fan yourself?

Sorry but Belichick and Kraft are Trump traitors period. They and his supporters sold this country out.

I remember when we made it to the Bowl in 1997, I joked it would be my graduation present (I graduated in '97)

On the other hand, thank god for that 199th draft pick huh??

In my mind, there will always be an asterisk by his name.

Last I heard they were good buddies...

the fault line between Trumpers and anti-Trumpers has been submerged at big family dinners by mutual agreement -- but the exact same fault line, with the same members, came up fiercely on Brady.

About the owner and coach of the team. What we all know what trump is, and what the owner of the football said about Trump. Then you have a coach that wrote that letter for trump in 2016. Remember?

I think trump being one of the most racist and treasonous persons we have had in the White House and in our country's history says a lot about the people who support him.

Something about him just rubs me the wrong way. I am not a sports fan, but I live in Boston and I never hear the end of Brady worship around here.

I guess he is a great quarterback, but I have no admiration for sports heroes. It's just not something that impresses me.

That's not inconsequential.

I still want to punch him in the face though.

I have no doubt Joe Montana or a Troy Aikman would have won more. Got to remember they did pretty good with the way it was.

Not a sports fan. Yet I like when our team wins.

Fact is the team won the superbowls and not Brady on his own.

The NFL ran checks at several cold weather game the season after fining Brady, the NFL destroyed the data without reporting one bit of it. I am pretty sure that I know what the data showed. Also, why do you think the NFL now keep game balls in temperature controlled trunks during games?

Someone is going to have to be cold blooded enough that when Brady leads a touchdown drive, the opposing QB comes right back and lead his own TD drive, like Foles did last year and Eli Manning did in 2007-2008.

keep hearing about in reference to Brady?

There are QBs in the 90s, 80s, and 70s that I would take over Tom Brady with these rules today. He's a good QB, but he's also a right-wing racist pos. Again the rules are slanted big time against defenses.

. . .against self-styled "supermen" like TB.

sound like the cheers at Gillette Stadium.....very nice....

I say this before they announce it.

After 2012. We lost that one but it was an amazing game. Better than tonight even.

If he had caught it, he would have walked in for a touchdown that would have won the game?

You young whippersnappers don't remember Unitas, Starr, Staubach, Marino, Montana, etc.

What Brady has is the best system around him. At least I assume so. The Patriots have been caught cheating in several different ways throughout the Belicheck era. We don't know how many times they've cheated and not got caught.

No one was more a product of his system than Montana. He just ran it to perfection. So does Brady. Trying to diminish him by citing “the system” is ridiculous.

It involved short to intermediate passes and using backs as receivers. Brady runs a modified West Coast Offense, using slightly longer distance passes, but still having backs as pass catchers.

Perhaps if Staubach or Marino or Montana had a better system around them, they would have won 6 Super Bowls

He most likely would’ve won 5 if he hadn’t taken that devastating hit in the 1990 NFC title game.

Just sayin'

His first one was here in the Detroit area. I was 10.

Extremely, extremely effective, mind you, but boring.

There have been a lot of quarterbacks who are a lot more exciting than Brady in terms of style.

Brady is full of 15 yard slants to Gronk and Edelman.

He just happens to be extremely good at that sort of thing.

But those slants to Edelman and Gronk (6'6", 268#, runs a 4.48) aren't as easy as you say.

MaHomes is going to blow all of that all over the water

Brady is lucky to belong to a well coached team. Without the team (and its highly effective cheating) he's nothing special.

And I agree that "He's a smarmy, entitled, self-aggrandizing piece of shit. He's cheated in more ways than one."

I just threw out a firebomb for fun.

It was the lowest-scoring Superbowl in history btw.

13-3, that was a battle of the defenses with a few good shots to make a touchdown run.

You just have to score more points than they do.

Tonight was masterful.

I realize it was a lost cause, but damn, it's still the Superbowl!

Some of the posts remind me of an image of two old men sitting on the porch of the country general store talking about how much tougher people were back a few years.

If he cheated.?...as you yourself acknowledge.

So, yeah.

Brady is scum.

I don't think that claim could be made.

Even then so many factors play into that, quality of teammates etc. I hate it when any sport claims one player is the best ever. It's just not realistic to do so. Top five might make more sense.


And fuck that fascist anyway

Yes. Best ever.

And I'm a Peyton and Drew Brees fan. But really, can't argue with all those rings.And at his age! He should be mowing the lawn and buying lottery tickets!

No doubt there was legitimacy to some of it but this team is so remarkably smart and resourceful there is not a valid comparison to another team in any sport.

Montana and Brady are the two best I have ever seen. Montana was the superior athlete and played in a more difficult era, particularly given the awesome physical teams in the NFC during that time frame. But Brady is a more dedicated athlete who has maximized every facet of his game. His mechanics are near flawless. I have seen that broken down in several slow motion video examinations.

I enjoyed the interaction with his daughter tonight. There was such joy on her face while touching the Vince Lombardi Trophy. She'll savor that even more decades from now once she understands the historical significance.

… especially quarterbacks, are practically worshiped in some schools - both college and high school. I think it contributes to their personalities - and it's evident in Brady. I think sports are great and contribute to overall learning... I wish more students had a wider range of sports to join. We celebrate many activities in school, but it seems like the kings and queens are always the football player and the cheerleader... The football player and the cheerleader are the gold standard... they are great activities, but not the only ones...

Pro Football.... bread and circuses.
