What’s pathetic is how people like you elevate paid athletes into some level of a moral example on how we ought to live and try to liken him to a guy who ran for office. Not even closely related. He’s not out there making speeches, he’s not endorsing candidates or causes. He plays football and otherwise keeps his mouth shut. You feel the need to judge him for a situation that you know very little about all of the details save for what you reaD about on the internet or People Magazine. It’s his business, not yours and nor mine.
However, if you want to start looking for flaws as a way to lessen people perhaps we should turn our attention to people like Rush, Ann Coulter, VP Cheney and anyone else who doesn’t live to your standards...
That guy is the best pass-rushing defensive end I've ever seen . . . and that's saying a lot when you consider that I've seen the likes of Richard Dent, Reggie White, Bruce Smith, etc.
Brady doesn’t hold himself out to be a role model? As of Dec 2007, I think he did:
“You look at Joe Montana, who was one of my role models growing up, Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods,” Brady said. “They’re all great role models for children and adults with how they handle themselves every time they step out in public. It’s flattering to be mentioned in their company.”
Violated rules without any benefit from that violation? Oh, the humanity of it all!!!!! The Pat’s defeated every opponent during the 2007 year without using a single clip from any illicitly gained video, and you want to make them out to be the worse cheats in the world. I like the way you used the little (I don’t care how you rationalize it) cry to defray any problems with facing reality. But, then whiners do that.
So, you wish to dump on all the the players of that franchise for what one player did in his personal life - and you don’t have any information regarding the particulars of what went on in that relationships or who decided what in breaking it off. I don’t hear you crying about all the illigitimate children coming out of Hollywierd!!!!! Do you, then, not watch any movies or television programs? If you do then you’re nothing but a hypocrite. You can’t have it both ways. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it. Now, flame away.
Is that BS the best you can do? How pathetic.
I think he didn’t. He just paid respect to those guys and said how flattered he was to be considered in their class.
Go kiss Bellyache’s ass. Your a Pat’s fan and cannot stand that your beloved losers LOST! Live with it pal. They got their asses handed to them by the Giants.
You still don’t get it, do you?
The guy is out there in the public eye. He can’t avoid having his “business” found out. Too bad if it “has nothing to do with his real business”. If it gets out, it gets out, and is fair game.
BTW, what do I need to know about him to know he’s screwing around and that that’s immoral? He has a bastard child and it’s HIS fault as well as the woman’s - unless it’s even worse and he raped her. Bottom line, we all know about it, and it’s immoral - and the child who had no choice is the reason it’s immoral. And I wouldn’t want a kid idolizing a “man” like him, who IS going to find it out, even if we try to hide it.
“who doesn’t live to your standards...”
Oh heavens. My morals are just so hard to live by.
It's a game.
Well, he didn’t deny it.
It only matters because “need to get a life” ers like you read about his life in the tabloids and need to feel indignant and morally superior.
Have a good one...
Now you are reaching....
Two things that stood out IMO was the Pats going for it on 4th and 13. IIRC, they were in FG range so why not try one.
Secondly, at the end of the game, with 35 ticks left, it appeared that Brady and the Pats just plain gave up. There was no fire to attempt to get within FG range. Sure there was pressure, but Brady could have tried something a little more than he did.
I gues that having spent a good deal ot time picking yourself off the turf, you tend to get a bit gunshy. And the Giants had plenty of them to go around. As a cowboys fan, I say gongrats to the Giants. Way to go. You brought another Vince Lombardi Trophy to the NFC East. The NFC East still holds more of those trophies than any other division.
Oddly enough, Strahan had a reputation for being a lazy bum his first couple of years in the NFL (I seem to remember him being very injury-prone, too). The turning point in his career came when former Giant defensive end George Martin — who was one of the most well-respected players in the NFL but toiled in obscurity on bad Giants teams for most of his career before the team won Super Bowl XXVI after the 1986 season — send him a personal letter telling him that he was destined to be one of the greatest players of all time if he put his mind to it.
I’d like to resort to your brand of vitriol, but I just can’t bring myself to lower myself to your level on this argument. The Giants won that game, no doubt about it. The Pat’s didn’t bring their “A” game, which I knew they would need against a very good Giants team. Yes, I’m a Pat’s fan. No, I’m not crying about the loss. Yesterday the better team won. Now, go kiss your own arse.
"It's a game."
I’d say what you originally replied to him was itself a “personal attack” with the smarmy attitude and inuendos (”what did YOU do”). You started it.
