Most geniuses are loons. Love him or hate him, he really is a football savant.

ESPN still angry he had a MAGA hat in his locker.

It's a joy to watch them destroy themselves, they truly deserve it.

I think the New England Patriots made a huge mistake trading away Garrapolo. I’m not saying he’s going to be great, but in very limited time he looked pretty good and they now have no one behind Tom Brady. Oh, yeah they re-signed Brian Hoyer, as I said no one behind Brady.

I understand that Tom Brady wants to play until he’s 45 and I think he really means it. However, when you get to his age, he can lose it quickly. Just a little bit off the fastball, or just a little bit off the touch and boom he’s throwing interceptions and his football looks like it’s lobbed out there from a third string wide receiver on a trick punt play.

Think I’m wrong, look what happened to Manning. He had it one year and in mid-season 2015, he lost it. It just absolutely fell of the table for him. I have no doubt that if he still had it, he would be playing right now. If it happened to Peyton Manning at 39, it can happen to Tom Brady at any moment, perhaps even this year. I know he’s looking great and it probably won’t happen to him this year, but what about the next? Or the next one after that? Bottom line, I don’t think he’s going to be playing at this level for more than a year and they traded away a possible future for a second round draft pick.

Tom Brady is friends with President Trump He strongly supports him too and his positions.

Well this kills loser Leftists like Bill Simmons that let his politics bleed into sports.

Tom Brady already has 4 Super Bowl Wins and will probably get another one this year.

He just trying to attack Tom simply because he is jealous and he is mad Tom supports President Trump.

It’s got nothing to do with the avocado ice-cream... He’s a good Catholic and thanks to his prayers and the prayers of his family, God gave him talent beyond that of a normal human.

Either that, or God listened to the prayers of Bostonian’s and New Englander’s and he gave them Tom Brady to wash away the taint of 1985 and 1996.

Luck may get you through one season, two at most. But a fifteen-year-and-counting career? No way.

Is he a loon? Maybe by normal standards, but what is required to achieve a long career in the NFL, where the average term of service is about four years, may certainly look loony to outsiders.

And will he get hurt? If he keeps on playing it's inevitable and in fact he already has been hurt several times. That's the cost of a life in the NFL.

What absurdity!

Loons don’t win every roll of the dice to become the best.

Lefties love to dream.

Th ESPN article is a dreadful bore, but anyone who thinks that Brady is simply lucky is the loon.
