This is the first time I dont care to watch the Super Bowl. Thanks Tom Brady.

Since I was a kid, Super Bowl has alway's been a holiday. We cook a ham or a turkey. Tons of food. Tons of beer. Orginize a football game. Rain or shine. Tell stories, talk sports, great catches, games ect..

But, now that the Patriots are well on their way to getting another ring. I can't stand the thought of Tom Brady smiling ear to ear like Tom Cruise after the win. I never root against any one team for the sake of rooting against them. I don't know any NFL players, so it's not like it's personal. But Tom Brady makes me sick. Ever since he ran of the field when the Colts beat his boy's. A game that ended with him getting picked. He ran off the field like a little school girl with hurt feelings. No class at all. He quickly forgot about the 3 rings he already has won. Didn't have the guts to congratuate Manning on the win. Giving him the respect of another great QB who helped lead his team to his first Super Bowl. That say's ONE thing. NO CLASS. NO CHARACTER. Even kids learn that. He just put his head down and ran home to mommy. Sniveling all the way. Totally disgusting. I could almost hear him saying " they cheated" " it was the wind"
" they paid the refs off" " goo goo ga ga " But this year has been all smiles. I have actually seen his mollars. Even the biggest trouble makers, tough guys in the NFL give respect at the end of the game. Even if they dont mean it. They still do it on camera. Brady didnt even try to fake it. His character took over and said. RUN FORREST, RUN. Made me sick. So when he gets his fourth ring. Matching Joe Montana. They may have 4 each, but Joe will alway's be the man. I dont care if Brady wins 5, 6. 7, or 10. Can you see Montana running home, kicking and crying after a lose. He looked them straight in the eye. Shook hands. wished them luck. CHARACTER. Through and through. An athlete with sportsmanship. PRIDE.

Eli is playing very good these day's. But very good won't do it Im affraid. Perfect may have a chance. I hope for that. Trouble is that mistake free football isn't always good enough. Not throwing pics doesnt help when the other teams offense scores 30-40 points. And that is what they do. SCORE. WEAPONS galore. Oh well. I hope he has some Joe Namath in him in 2 weeks.

I have been posting long enough to know that some replies will be fired back from die hard Pats fans.
No Im not jealous, No Im not a cross town rival, No the owner didnt fire me. No I dont care about the SPYGATE. I just hate poor character. Even worse when people show it in the public eye. Class cant be bought. He is living proof.
Man I miss the 80's!!!

  • Its too bad your going to let your dislike of one Player ruin a "National Holiday" I feel the exact same way about Payton Manning and was pissed off for a couple of weeks after the Colts won last year just because he has a ring. However, Super Sunday is more than just a game and its to bad you going to be watching a rerun of Mr. Ed instead of the game.

    I love I love it I love it! No one believes Eli can do it, hes been mocked by everyone and when he wins its like people don't care they still put him down. LETS GO BLUE!
  • TheThrill, I strongly suggest that you watch the Super Bowl. Use your hate, use it man! Root against Brady all day long!

    BTW I loved the Run Forrest, Run line image
  • wow.
    You really dislike Tommy boy eh? Did you ask him out and he turned you down? Were you the one running off the field crying?

    Just kidding.

    Regardless of who is playing, you should watch for the commercials image
  • The commercials are what Youtube is for...lol
  • C'mon, there has to be more to your dislike other than

    << <i>Ever since he ran of the field when the Colts beat his boy's >>


    So many players in the NFL (and all major sports) have done classless things: Argued about a call, complained about play calling,
    trashtalked to an opponent (if you could only hear everything that is said on the field during a game), etc. If that's the case, you
    would hate most NFL players, and every team in the NFL. Is that the case?

    That's a common misconception, for whatever reason.

    This picture PROVES that some memories need to be refreshed.

    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
  • I finally get to watch a Super Bowl this year....yeah!!!

    The last 10 years I have been doing the Tucson mineral show/s during most of February, in which 2-3 million people attend. They jack the price on everything in town ($20 motels are $100+), hotel rooms to sell out of run around $5000, parking is terrible, have to worry about things like scale police taking my $400 scales, theft, got food poisoning twice and had credit card fraud four times. In a positive note, great Mexican food and usually free breakfast. Just not worth it anymore.

    Clear Skies,
    Mark

    First off a Big Thank You to Stown for saving me the trouble of putting that pic up for the Thrill. image


    Thrill- I dont know where you are coming up with all that ridiculas banter but Tom Brady exemplifies character! As you can see from the pic that Stown has posted he DID congratulate Manning after that game-its right there! WE went over this last year my friend-do you prefer to forget? With all this queer "spygate" crap being thrown at the Pats off and on all year and the '72 Dolphins running their mouths Brady has kept his cool. I understand you dont want to watch the Super Bowl because of Tom Brady? image Thats your right! You start the thread off with this poignant little story about the Super Bowl being a great day for you and blah blah blah yet you wont watch it now because Tom Brady is in it and he has no Character? image Stop your whining!

    I can't stand Brady either, but it's only because I'm jealous of his team's success and his striking good looks.

    And his woman is hot too.

    Good for you.
  • I stand corrected. I did not see him do that. I remember him running of the field before the whistle blew.

    Oh well, Go Giants!

    Wasn't Eli Manning the one who told the Chargers he wouldn't sign with them if they picked him, so they had to trade him?

    It was Belichick who did not congratulate anyone.

  • Thanks! Belichick. Maybe he was running of to kill the video tape guy. Guess it worked. The new one went 18-0 so far.

    One more time, GO N.Y.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Is the specter of even more stupid commericals with the Manning brothers any more attractive than another win for Brady and the Pats?
