NY POST – For more than a decade, for three different head coaches, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been a not-so-magnificent obsession for the Giants’ little brothers who wear green. But for the franchise that refuses to wait 43 years between championships, the pretty boy with the pretty model wife has become a Super Obsession. Because for the second time in four years, Brady is standing between the Giants and the Lombardi Trophy. The Giants respect him as a quarterback, because after all, he has proven that he is in Eli Manning’s class. But they do not fear him, because, of course, Antrel Rolle won’t let them. And four years later, they have not forgotten the day their Super Obsession exploded in a rage. It happened inside their sprawling hotel headquarters two days prior to Super Bowl XLII when a group of defenders that included Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck finally got around to watching a clip of Brady from Media Day openly scoffing at Plaxico Burress’ prediction: Giants 23, Patriots 17. “I remember the arrogance of the whole way he scoffed … I remember that making us particularly angry,” Umenyiora told The Post yesterday. “We just knew then that we were gonna take his head off. We just knew that right then. I mean, come on, man. There’s levels of arrogance, you understand what I mean? In the interview, like psssshhh, ‘We’re only gonna score 17 points?’ ” Tuck told The Post, “Brady, in almost a disrespectful chuckle, said, ‘Hah, we’re only gonna score 17 points on ’em.’ I’m in a room with Michael Strahan, A.P. [Antonio Pierce], Osi, Corey Webster, I think it was R.W McQuarters, Sam Madison and some more guys, but it’s mostly defense. And we kinda see this pretty boy chuckle — like ‘We’re only gonna score 17 points!’ — and it just seems like the whole room turned red. Like everybody was quiet. Literally fist-clenching, teeth …If we could have went and played right then, we would have went and played that second.”|
Love this shit. I’ve said it before but that Tom Brady clip is my favorite YouTube video of all time. Because its so rare that you can pinpoint when an athlete goes from celebrated underachiever to a smug douchebag, but for Brady, this is it right here. Everyone in the NFL always tries painting Brady as this picture perfect success story. From a 6th round draft pick to Super Bowl champ. The epitome of class and the face of the model franchise in the league. Still talking about him like he’s the skinny, happy-go-lucky backup QB from a decade ago. And not taking anything away from him – dude has had an unreal career and he is an amazing story. But nobody ever mentions the way this smug motherfucker acts now. How he looked right at the camera 4 years ago and openly insulted the team that would beat his ass and ruin his perfect season just a few days later. How he knocked up some B-list actress and then left her for a supermodel. How his team got caught video taping their opponents on their way to God knows how many wins. How he went from one of the greatest underdog stories in sports to looking and dressing like one of the whiniest, pussiest, prima donna athletes of our time.
Again, not taking anything away from Tom Brady. He’s a no doubter Hall of Famer and one of the greatest QBs to ever play the game. And you can’t blame the guy by any means for enjoying the finer things in life. But at this point in his career he’s a fucking bitch and I can’t wait for Eli to cement his legacy against him next Sunday.
