Why All The Hate Toward The Patriots?

There are plenty of little snide remarks that he spits out from behind his pretty boy smile that just make me smile everytime he gets flattened by a 300 pound defensive lineman. After the Ravens game last week; when asked about the 4th & 1 play in which Brady was stuffed, but the Pats got a do-over because Rex Ryan called a timeout, Brady said that he would've had the first down, but he heard the whistle... sure you did asshole...

And then there's Brady the whiney bitch... Why is it ok for Tom Brady to bitch about holding or pass interference anytime he doesn't complete an effing pass? And if one of his passes is grossly over/underthrown, he screams at the receiver for running the wrong route. It's apparently never his fault.

And why is it ok for Tom Brady to run up to Anthony Smith and run his mouth for at least 30 seconds after throwing a touchdown? If that's not the definition of taunting, I don't know what is.

Ditto there man, what a bunch of fuck sticks. They all need to go back to elementary school and learn this over again....including the coaching staff. Funny thing about life, what goes around comes around and they will get thiers.

The answer is simple, he has a 4 inch tweeter.

What's wrong with having a 4 inch tweeter?

I don't have a problem with the Pats, they're just a good team. If people wanna see a new team win, they better pray their team gets better or hope Tom Brady's head falls off. Otherwise get used to the Patriots steamrolling everyone for another year or two. The only other teams I think could compare to the Pats are the Steelers and the Colts.

The one thing I don't like about them is that to me, they are the Yankees of football (Sorry Yanks fans). A bunch of hype and then when they get their asses kicked, they'll boohoo about it. (Can you tell I don't like the Yankees? )

Teams reflect the personality of the coach. The patriots seem smug because they get it from their coach. Colts are classy due to dungy, same with the Skins. Belichek has always seemed to have the personality of chalk board, and an attitude that he is better than anything or anyone around him. The guys on that team follow him and would run through a brick wall for that dude, as would most of our guys. I personally dont like the pats because I am a little po'd at the lack of class in running up scores and the snide comments made to opposing players, however, I do not think that makes Brady a bad guy. He is confident, he is GREAT, probably one of the greatest of all time, I think he just exudes that confidence in life also. The dude is dating the hottest women on the planet, making tons of millions, winning superbowls, the best QB in the league, I am sure if that was anyone of us, we would be perceived the same way.

If Brady looked like, let's say Sam Cassell or someone not so good looking, we probably wouldn't direct so much dislike toward him.

I wonder how much is actually "visual perception" (i just made that up) more than anything else?

Dude you hit it right on the head. People are just bitter cause the guy is great looking, he has a super model for a g/f and above all he's great at what he does. I don't think I've ever heard anything bad about the guy. His teammates really seem to like him too.

If he was a Redskin we'd all love the guy.

They wouldn't have acted like assholes if Merriman wouldn't act like an asshole in the first place by doing that stupid little dance everytime he gets a sack. Do you see any of the pats players doing that crap? Nope. SD looks like the assholes for bitching and showboating after they got beat.

Some people don't really care about character, but I do (that's not directed at you 12th man).

Let me ask you this tough question. We all love Gibbs. But would you rather have a high character guy who isn't a good coach and has a losing record? Or would you rather have a guy who is terrible with the media, has a terrible personality, but wins?

I care about character. But some of the things Bill B. has been accused of is not a big deal to me.

I don't get where people think Brady is good looking. The dude has a freakishly massive cranium. You could post a billboard on that forehead.

[SkinEmAll]

I have to tell ya that I agree. His forehead is huge! Also I must admit when I saw he was doing some ad for a magazine without a shirt on, I laughed my ass off. Im not one to usually judge a dudes appearance, but since I have a great dislike for mr.brady, I couldnt help but notice how un-buff he is. I dont know, maybe I thought he would have atleast a little chisel somewhere, a 6 pack or something for crying out loud. I mean we are talking about the Tom Brady.

Their cameraman got caught after the 1st quarter. I'm pretty sure the Jets would have won that game if the Pats didn't tape their 1st quarter signals. :yeahright

Also what's wrong with Brady yelling out his opinions at refs? At least he doesn't talk smack, throw temper tantrums, disrespect team mates (ex. Tomlinson snubbing Rivers), flick the finger at your own fans, or throw penalty flags into the stands. I love a quarter back with some fire in his belly.

there the darth vader of football.its the team you love to hate,and its insanity because every week we tune in to see something different but it ends the same.I hope they go undefeated...once i seen randy moss become theres last draft i already knew they were going to be unstoppable..

[prinzeofmoval]

p.s. every week we give them a reason to play hard..vs chargers:spygate,vs cowboys and indy:unbeatin records,guarrentee from dumb nuts at pittsburgh:the jets this week for ratting on them,the dolphins the week after to insure the streak and to shove in shulas face...stop giving them reasons

[PerkyPerk]

I don't really get why everyone hates the pats. I mean they go out and play hard week in and week out and live by this "humble pie" thing that Belicheck is telling them. I personally think that the players in the NFL are payed to play their positions and they shouldn't just stop playing because they're creaming a team. Yes, it was a little too much of a blowout when they played us, but the skins are on the field to stop them, and we just didn't do our job out there.
