Tom Brady Blasts ESPN
Tom Terrific Is Burning Bridges At A Tremendous Rate
Remember back in the day when Tom Brady was scheduled to be president in 2028? Then he decided to knock up his girlfriend before ditching her for Gisele. So much for that.

Naturally another line of work open to Brady is becoming a talking head for ESPN. Wait, scratch that as well.

Tuesday afternoon Brady appeared on WEEI radio in Boston to talk about an upcoming charity event when he got lobbed a few questions on Spygate. He chose to rip the media, and more specifically, ESPN.
"I think it's a way to really sell newspapers, and all the ESPN stations, they've got to fill the air, too," Brady said.
That's not too bad, and probably more or less true, but Brady decided to continue when it was mentioned that many of the ex-NFL players who work at ESPN were harshly critical of the Patriots and suggested that they gained a huge advantage from stealing signals.
"It's just kind of the environment right now, though. I think that's the way that guys make it. They just say the craziest things. That's what ESPN has become. ESPN, to me, is like MTV without the videos, ESPN is without the highlights."
Well, I guess there's always Fox Sports or CBS for Tom.

Anyway, I actually thought the arguments put forth by the ex-players were dead on about the advantage the Patriots gained by stealing signals, even though Brady is right to a degree about ESPN in general.

I'm just starting to wonder what the heck is going on with Brady. Last year he gave the famous "We're trying to kill everyone" line, he's on a team that arguably won three dirty Super Bowls, he's insulting former players, and he isn't holding his tongue on ESPN either.

He's pretty much become the Darth Vader of football. Which is exactly why 18-1 will never get old.

I don't know if this will hurt any broadcasting in the future or not .  ESPN seems very forgiving to jocks who might put more potatoes on the couch watching them.

I'm sure he's been hounded lately for comment on this topic, but he really didn't need to go down this road.  If he'd won the Super Bowl, everything woulda been about the Golden Boy.  Instead, Romo n Jessica r getting all the press, and all of a sudden we have a third country heard from. 

 

Maybe what he's really angry about is that no one seems to remember his record setting year.  Maybe w/ all this, it's become a tarnished record?  Well, Barry Bonds never failed a drug test either. 

 

But he was right about one thing, ESPN is a bunch of whore-mongers who'll go after any story, b/c they r a news station, first and foremost.  Even a broken clock is right twice a day.  But that's not a reflection of former NFL players who know just how it might help saying just that.  Get over urself Brady.

No, he prefers those kissasses at CBS and Fox that prefer to shove their heads so far up his golden ass. Never understood how honestly jimmy terry, howy and chris(all former players) could think that they didnt gain sny advantage from doing this . ESPN all did it at first too. "Ahhh...this istn as big of a deal as everyone is making it out to be". Now Slareth(spelling) is the head of the class srying about how it helped them. ESPN- perfect example of crappy journalism and favortism. The Pats-Cheaters, and very very sore losers. Tom Brady- The most overrated QB in the NFL Today, and a whiner to boot. God I love this game.

Thats all you got? Really? Come on kid.....use your brain. First off, how many more years does brady have on romo? 5? Romo's only played one full season. Give him four more before we make comparisions between romo then and brady now.

You're not really trying to compare Tony Romo and Tom Brady are you?

All this is, is more fuel for the fire that will burn Brady until he wins the SuperBowl next year.

 

But on my personal preferrence side... I'd chose Bridget Moynahan over Gieselle. I guess it's my strong attraction to brunettes.

Was he? Hmmm....lets compare the two kids first year.Completion Percentage: Brady 63.9 Romo-64.4. Yards: Brady- 2843 Romo4211. Tds: Brady 18 Romo 36 . Yards/game: Brady 185.5 Romo 263.2 . QB rating: 86.5 Romo 97.4. Infact, sans 2007-2008, brady had only broken a 90 qb rating twice in his career, had never thrown more then 28 td's, never thrown over 4110 yards. Romo has never thrown for less then  4211 yards, 36 td's , and hasnt had a career rating lower then 97.4. Looks to me, comparitvley, romo has had the almost the same level of sucsess as brady in his first year. True, he didnt win the superbowl, the biggest stat that counts, but had an equal amount of sucsess through the first season as brady did. BEsides, you cant count the superbowl that year. The pats cheated. Or did you conviently forget that one?

If you are going to try and quote stats, at least quote the correct stats. You used Brady's stats from 2001 which is indeed his first season,but was not a full season. Then you used Romo's stats from 2007 which was NOT his first year, but WAS a full season. Nice try. Real mature. Romo actually threw for 2,903 yds in his first season only 60 more than Brady (albeit in 4 less starts). As for your stupid little QB rating comparison, well it holds no water. Romo came to a team with Terrell Owens already on it. Brady, up until this past season, has played and WON with a bunch of nobodies. You tell me why Romo has a better QB rating.

You also left out how each of their first seasons ended (which has been pointed out by several other people on this thread). Romo's ended with a fumble, and Brady's with a Super Bowl ring.

All stats aside, Tony Romo doesn't even come close to Tom Brady. Your taking 1.5 years of stats for Romo and somehow trying to make them sound like he is in the HOF after a 20 year career. Get over it, your boy ain't #1 and may never be. O yea and grow up.

I love it when i get to whale on stupid people like you who think they know what their talking about. In 2000, tom Brady played in one game, didn't start, went one for three for 6 yards. In 2001, tom Brady started 14 games. Ma bey you should brush on your facts kiddo. And way to go to prove my point rookie. Comparing romo's first half season to tom Brady's first full season only more serves my point. As for romo getting to play with such talent, is that fault? You cant hold a player down for having a goo team or not. And touch on the point of how the season ended. Here....ill quote myself.....wouldn't want you to strain your brain....

"True, he didn't win the Superbowl, the biggest stat that counts, but had an equal amount of success through the first season as Brady did". Uh oh, have you had enough? Lemme make sure you got the point of my whole argument before i go. Room has only played a season and a half. Tom Brady has played 5. Its not right to compare his one season vs. Brady's career, the way injury's can change it. Sure, comparing first years, there you go. But give the young one some time. He's going to win his too. BTW....below is the link to tom Brady's career stats. You should do some brushing up....his ass cheeks must be tightening up and cutting off the flow of oxygen to your brain.

I don't think Brady or any of the other player on the Patriots know if they cheated or not. They think and have to know they earned all the wins they got. Think of it this way. You are one of the best at what you do at work. Then all of a sudden someone starts a rumor saying everything you have ever done was done by some sort of cheating that your boss orchestrated. But nothing can really be proved. Would you just tell everyone you were a bad worker that got lucky or try to discredit the person that started the rumor?

LMAO....seriously.....you dont have any stats to back up anything your saying, so you go like a little kid and throw out a tacky(and inaccurate) stement that actually has no bearing on the subject at hand. First, i dont consider aikman the messiah. I dont even consider him the best qb dallas' has ever had. Second, dont hate on aikman cause its obvious your jealous of the sucess he had with the cowboys. Besides, aikman best asset wasnt exactly measurable. Aikman was smart and accurate. Probably one of the top three most accurate guys ever to play the position. He made few mistakes when he played. BTW.....grats to the guys who are on pace to be better then Aikman. For a guy widely considered around the 12-15th best ever, its really not that special. Call me when they get around 6th or 7th, which BRady is not. 1 good season and a few efficient ones doesnt make you the best ever.

Sorry if i missed out on your sarcasm in your post. But with the way most people ague on here(someone submits a post with facts, then all the naysayers come alive and throw tacky insults at each other) its sometimes hard to distinguish.

Here is the problem. You submitted a post with facts, but you doctored them to make yourself look right. I commend you for actually using real facts (most people don't), but they're not what you're trying to make them into is all.

Could Tony Romo wind up being better than or just as good as Brady? Absolutely. That just currently is NOT the case. Now if you don't mind, can we get this thing back on topic?

A few things...

1) Tom Brady is ALREADY a lock for the HOF. So comparing him to Tony Romo is ridiculous. He needs to be compared to other HOFers, not young guys who haven't proven ANYTHING.

2) Tom's absolutely right... ESPN is a joke.

3) It really doesn't matter what he says. When he starts destroying the league again next year, they'll hop right back on his jock.

4) Without his 4 rings, there's no way Bradshaw even sniffs the HOF. So although rings don't guarantee the HOF for a QB, they sure make it a lot easier.

How were they doctored? I compaired romo's first full season vs. brady's first. Did you miss something? or are you just in denile that romos first season was better than bradys?

Sorry kid, but your head is way to far up golden tom's ass to consider anything you say worth merit. Compairing a current player to a HOF is absoluty rediculous period. Even with cheating he's a lock? So mark mcguire and sammy and bonds are all lock for the baseball hall of fame? And please, dont tell me that "it didnt help brady " if it didnt, why were they stupid enough to get caught doing it multiple times. BTW, as i've shown, romo's first season was better than brady's, so compairing them isnt rediculous, its how far up there you are that is.

Yes, Tom Brady is a lock for the HOF. That's not even debateable at this point. Name a HOF-eligible QB with 3 SB rings, 2 SB MVP's, and a regular season MVP, as well as a major single-season passing record who ISN'T in the HOF. Fact: you can't.

And regardless of how good Romo's first season was, Brady's latest season was arguably the best EVER for a QB. So until Romo matches that, and wins a couple SB MVP's, it's really a moot point.

Fact: Brady's not eligable. Plus, he's a cheater. Brady is more then likely headed to the HOF...becuase of the rings. Minus one season, brady hasnt had quite the "spectaular" career you believe he's had. Probably has something to do with where your head is located related to his ass. To be oneof the best ever, brady needs to prove he can win without cheating. We've been here and done this before kid, and you know ima win, and youll eventually just piss and moan and then walk away...just like.....wow......a kid.

My point is that there is not a single QB who has numbers that even approach Brady's numbers who ISN'T already in the HOF. He's a lock. He's the best QB in the NFL right now, and you can't legitimately refute that. The only argument you have is that he cheated. You can't prove how much he benefited from that, or even that he benefited from it at all. You are nothing but hot air.

Right, and you cant prove how much bonds and mcguire benifited from steriods either. You cant honestly belive that pat. If you can look outside of your homerism to atleast see that, you need to walk away from this site.Btw, Peyton Manning> Brady. And Peyton has never been caught cheating. Plus, he has better numbers. And even if he was the best today(which he isnt) that doesnt make him the best ever. That only makes the narrow minded think so.

Brady has nothing to do with spy-gate? Are you freaking serious? I mean....come on kid....you rambling is just digging you further and further into that idiot box you have upstairs. Did Brady not play for the Pats the last few seasons? And which side of the ball were they caught taping?Lemme break a piece of this off for you nice and slow and ery detailed so maybe somewhere, what little you've got left up there will catch on.  Last time i checked, the new England patriots(the NFL team coached by bill bellichick, qb'd by tom Brady)were caught taping other teams DEFENSE(you know,the part of the team trying to stop the other team from scoring), and since Brady played OFFENSE(the team with the ball, trying to put the ball into the end-zone, which is worth 6 points) it would have benefited(or given an advantage too) the QB, who just so happens to be Tom Brady. Sure, the players still have to play the game, but its a lot easier call them numbers when your playing with loaded dice, or to hit again when you know what the next card coming is. You sir are the one babbling on about this and that without ever having a point. I'm sorry you feel I'm an "a-hole" kid, but point blank, your an idiot that likes to pretend that you know anything about what your talking about, and quite frankly, i cant stand people like that/you. I'm not here to be your friend or impress you .I joined this site to speak my piece and see what others think. If you dint like it, dint read what i have to say. And the fact that you obviously didn't even read the post about Brady vs. Romo's first year just adds to how stupid you look. The point i was making is com pairing Brady's 6 years vs. Romo's 1 is unfair, and when you look at it with and even Kiel(the two players first seasons) Romos season was comparable, even better in 1/2 the categories then Brady. What should have ended is your typing so you could go back a re-read it, so ma bey you could understand some of it. Idiot.

Peyton's regular season numbers are BARELY better than Brady's... but his postseason numbers are considerably worse. Advantage: Brady.

And Brady has never been caught cheating either. And until you can prove that the cheating had any affect whatsoever on his performance, I can only assume that you're still full of crap.

And although Brady's resume isn't quite the best ever, it's certainly the best ever through 6 seasons. And it's not even close.

Then please enlighten me pat...what were they tapings teams defences for? I gotta hear this one. Btw... since my facts are correct how is my opinion full of crap? Becuase the allmighty pat and his band of cheaters thinks so? Spare me.Oh, and the numbers dont lie kid, brady cant have had the best first 6 years, when he's only been the top qb 1 time and never had a qb rating over 92 until last season. Who has been: Peyton has.

Honestly... I don't know exactly how much it helped, and what exactly they were using it for. But neither do you. Which is why I won't pretend to know the effect it had on his numbers, and it's why you shouldn't, either. But you continue to do so, and that's what makes you sound so ridiculously ignorant.

And you're right...the numbers don't lie.

If you notice, those numbers are eerily similar. The perception is that Manning is a lot better than Brady. But if you look at his INT numbers, as well as the fact that Manning has had a MUCH better offense around him for most of their careers, and finally throw in Peyton's yearly postseason choke jobs, you can see that Brady actually is easily the better QB of the two.

And you're right...the numbers don't lie.

Brady and Manning's per-season stats:

Ya, you can see it if your wearing your pats goggles. And its not paytons fault the team he has around him. Its downright dumb to hold play that card. You cant hold manning having a good team around him, against him. BTw, the numbers say Manning IS better then brady. Like I said, they were taping defences, not offences. So the RB's and QBs, the players who read the defences and adjust the plays accordingly, are going to be the ones who benifit from it. Like Ive said before, its easier to roll the dice when their loaded.

Once again... you have no idea how much the tapes helped Brady, if at all. You are merely speculating there.

And I'm not holding it against Manning that he had a great offense around him. I'm merely pointing out an obvious reason for much of the statistical differences. In the one year that Brady had a HOF WR (like Manning has had for his entire career), Brady had arguably the best season ever for a QB. If he had a guy like Marvin Harrison for his entire career, like Peyton has had, instead of mediocre WR's like Deion Branch, David Patten, etc, then Brady's stats would have been undoubtedly improved. Until this year, the best WR he ever had was Troy Brown. I'mt exactly a stellar WR corps.

And like I said... the numbers don't even back up your point. As much as Peyton's regular season numbers are better than Brady's, Brady's postseason numbers beat Peyton's by even more. Would you rather have your QB performing at his best in the regular season against mediocre teams, or in the playoffs against the best of the best?

Your ani-Patriots bias is worse than you think... you should get that checked out.

Like iv said time and time agian, Tom BRady is undoubtedly the most overrated qb in history. You cant prove that witha hof fame wr his whole career he would have been better, because he hasnt had one his whole career. Thats like saying, because the sticker ont the car says itll get 20 miles to the gallon, doesnt make it true. There are veriables involved. And here's where your arguement becomes flawed. If his recievers were as mediocre, and he's never had a real running game(both of which are true) then how exactly did he have the "great" numbers he's had? Either the cheating had a larger part in his sucess then your letting yourself admit or his numbers arent as great as your claiming them to be. You cant have it both ways.

Your comments are so twisted, it's ridiculous. But I'll entertain your mental diarrhea for a little bit, because I'm on a ship right now, and I really don't have anything else to do.

"You cant prove that witha hof fame wr his whole career he would have been better, because he hasnt had one his whole career."

You're right, I can't prove it. All I can do is look at his career. For his entire career, he has had mediocre WR's. His leading WR's have been Troy Brown (twice), Deion Branch (twice), David Givens, Reche Caldwell and now Randy Moss. Only once has Brady had a WR with 1000+ yards... and he still averaged 3594 passing yards per season...NOT counting last season, where he threw for 4806 yards.

For the record, Reche Caldwell spent one season with the Pats... he caught for 760 yards... his career high with any other team is 352 yards. Obviously, he's a mediocre WR. Yet he was Tom's #1 WR for a year. Deion Branch was his #1 for 2 years... he has never had more than 1000 receiving yards in a season... and his two best seasons were with Brady. David Givens... he left for Washington last year... and his yards per game was less than half what it had been when he played in Brady's offense. Troy Brown was a good WR for years... but those years were BEFORE Brady took over. He is Brady's ONLY Pro Bowl WR that he had ever had before this year.

Now, with Randy Moss, Brady had arguably the best season ever for a QB.

You can say that he wouldn't have done better with better WR's... but that's just an ignorant statement. Not that I should be surprised to hear that coming from you... but whatever...

"There are veriables involved. And here's where your arguement becomes flawed. If his recievers were as mediocre, and he's never had a real running game(both of which are true) then how exactly did he have the "great" numbers he's had?"

Maybe he's really THAT good... and you're just THAT ignorant. I'd bet on it.

"Either the cheating had a larger part in his sucess then your letting yourself admit or his numbers arent as great as your claiming them to be. You cant have it both ways."

OR... maybe he's the best QB in the game. AFTER SpyGate is when Brady had the best numbers of his career. So the cheating must have a lot less of an effect than you think.

And I don't need to justify Brady's numbers at all. Outside of Peyton Manning, no one has better numbers. Peyton's aren't even that much better in the regular season, and they're considerably worse in the playoffs. That's a fact.

You're the most anti-Patriots biased person I have ever seen, and it's seriously clouding your judgment. Nothing you have said on this thread (or anywhere else, for that matter) is even remotely intelligent, and your very existence appears to be a waste of time and air.

In a second round loss in the playoffs to the eventual superbowl champs.....and i idd exactly that.......i know where your going with this....read what i said first. It might help to read things before you post because you dont like thwt they first sentence said. Agian, ill say, brady's first full season in the NFL compaired to romos, romo had the BETTER numbers, and the line right below all the numbers, i clearly wrote : "True, he didnt win the superbowl, the biggest stat that counts, but had an equal amount of sucsess through the first season as brady did"....Try agian?

Is any of that English? I could barely read it.

Are you actually trying to argue this still? You're wrong. You doctored the stats to make Romo look better. Why is Brady's first full season 2001 where he played only 14 games, yet for Romo you skip the 06-07 season (10 games) and used the 07-08 season where he played all 16? Man its fun proving homers wrong.

You want to consider "the first full season" the first season that each guy started all 16 games? Fine.

Brady-
Comp % = 62.1
Pass. Yds. = 3,764
TD = 28
INT = 14

Romo-

Comp. % - 64.4
Yds - 4,211
TD - 36
INT - 19

Pretty damn close especially considering that Brady was throwing to a bunch of NOBODIES and Romo had TO and some Terry Glenn, along with Jason Witten. As far as I'm concerned the edge goes to Brady.

And I think it's funny when you talk about the Cowboys and Romo "In a second round loss in the playoffs to the eventual superbowl champs"... second round, sure... but it was still their first playoff game that year, and Tony Romo's Cowboys are still 0-2 in the playoffs.

I agree to disagree, but that's mostly because you insist on being wrong. Therefore, I'll agree to be the correct one in this matter, and you can continue being the illogical, clueless Cowboys homer that you have proven yourself to be. Enjoy the Tony Romo era in Dallas... let's see if he can match Brady's bling.

wait.....wait.....10 games arent a full season kid. Argue that if you want, it just shows ignorance. Romo didnt start till what...week 8?Thats half a season.  arent you the idiot that tried to argue that i wasnt using real stats? Cause  your numbers....look exactly like mine. Think before you speak. BTW.....Romo didnt have terry glenn but for 1.5 games...you can give the edge to brady and live in the moment......but Brady isnt quiet as good as you think he is, and time will eventually prove me right. Besides all this, lets see how he fares when he doesnt have a defence and isnt allowed to cheat anymore.

Romo's first full season was compairable to Bradys and in many places, his stats were actually better. True he didnt win a superbowl, which is the most important stat,but superbowl rings dont make you the best ever. If they did, Terry bradshaw would be the best ever followed by troy.  And agian, like ive said, dont need your permission or approval to post my opinion on the subject where i want.

Honestly, I really couldn't care less whose first season you think is better. Sure, Romo had some better numbers... but he was in an undeniably better offense. The fact remains that Tom Brady is still the best QB in football, and he is a guaranteed first-ballot Hall of Famer. Now you're admitting that he's better than Romo anyway, so I'm pretty sure you never even had a point anyway... you were just typing to see yourself type...

Interpretation:

Ok, let me break this down for you: I dont need your permission or approval to post my opinion here. If you dont like it, dont read it, and dont respond to it.  FYI, since you apparently dont read the all of the arguments at hand, I’ve already or review my posts with all my numbers and stats backing up my beliefs, but your not reading my arguments, nor are you taking an objective point of view, than let me say this again, so that, even with your special limitations, you understand fully what I am trying to say: Romo's first full season was comparable to Bradys because in many categories his stats were actually better. It is true he didnt win a Superbowl, which is sometimes considered to be the most important stat, but Superbowl rings can’t make someone the best ever. If they could Terry Bradshaw would be the best QB ever, followed by Troy.  Again, like I’ve said, I dont need your permission or approval to post my opinion on any subject where i want. If you don’t like it, walk away.


***Does anyone have any spare eye bandages?

To the author:  It sounded like it was quite apparent, in the eyes of your responders, that there was an understanding of who's head you felt was up another's ass.  If you're trying to argue Romo "will be" better than Brady, or if you're trying to argue that "he is" better than Brady ... than I believe you are greatly mistaken, and miles away from who's head is up another's ass.

1.Peyton>Brady. You said it yourself. Brady is a cheater and will be lucky to get in the HOF with an asterick, if at all. Agian, never made the arguement Romo was better yet, the point was its not fair to compare Romo's 1.5 seasons to Brady's 5. Agian, my point- brady's the most overrated qb not only today, but ever.

None of that proves anything that matters. For example... Brady is STILL the best QB in football, and he's STILL a lock to be a first ballot HOFer. Nothing you say has refuted that in the least bit.

Dude,

I realize you may not have learned this, but ... stringing together misspelled words (even if on the internet), when you are engaging in any form of rhetoric makes it next to impossible for you to be taken seriously!  ESPECIALLY, when you use very direct language towards others, call people out for lack of class, and even go as far as criticizing a lady, who's already known for her wit, literary skills, and knowledge of sports ... in more ways than you and I combined, on this website!  All you've done is make yourself look like a hypocrite who's upset that others don't agree with you, and the sad part is you don't even realize it.

Homo and Bratty aren't even retired!  It's pointless to argue about the two clowns!  If you want to debate something just as meaningless, regarding QB's currently in the NFL, bring up a debate about the Manning Sisters or something! 

Last tidbit:  People don't "make logical arguments that refute why another's argument is flawed!"  They don't, because that would mean they agree with them!  Rhetoric (arguing) is done to SHOW how/why another's argument is flawed.

So argue! Quit griping ... quit pointing fingers ... quit acting childish ... and freakin prove your point!  Leave all the b.s. on Myspace ... please!

So the point i was arguing would be right. And I never said number 2, you did. For what I was arguing, that does matter. Am I saying Romo is a better QB right now then Brady? No. Am I saying tom Brady wont ever make it to the HOF? Absolutely not. But until he proves he can win without cheating, then he'll be IMO overrated. As for him being a lock, he either needs to have a few more great years, or get a big fat asterisk by his name, just like bonds and Sosa and McGuire, two of which, more then likely will not even make the BHOF. Rings don't make you a HOFer(see Trent Dilfer and Earl Morrall ). Is Brady one of the top 5 qb's in the NFL today? Sure. Probably put him in either 2 or 3, behind manning, and maybe rothlisberger, just because i believe he is a little better on the run then Brady.  Is he in the top 10 all time? No. Not until he has a few more "stellar" seasons and again, proves he can with without cheating.

So the point i was arguing would be right. And I never said number 2, you did. For what I was arguing, that does matter. Am I saying Romo is a better QB right now then Brady? No. Am I saying tom Brady wont ever make it to the HOF? Absolutely not. But until he proves he can win without cheating, then he'll be IMO overrated. As for him being a lock, he either needs to have a few more great years, or get a big fat asterisk by his name, just like bonds and Sosa and McGuire, two of which, more then likely will not even make the BHOF. Rings don't make you a HOFer(see Trent Dilfer and Earl Morrall ). Is Brady one of the top 5 qb's in the NFL today? Sure. Probably put him in either 2 or 3, behind manning, and maybe rothlisberger, just because i believe he is a little better on the run then Brady.  Is he in the top 10 all time? No. Not until he has a few more "stellar" seasons and again, proves he can with without cheating.
For starters... he won 17 games THIS year without cheating... and without cheating, had the best season of his life.

Second, you are proving yourself to be the most ignorant person on this site more and more with each post. CriticalFanatic is the biggest Roethlisberger apologist on the site, and even HE will tell you that Big Ben isn't even close to Brady's level.

Yes, Brady IS top 10 all time. In fact, he's top 5 all time. Fact.

Btw... How many rings do Dilfer and Morrall have? 1 each? And how many SB MVP's do they have? Zero between them? Brady has 3 rings, 2 SB MVP's, 1 regular season MVP, an obscenely good playoff track record, and a slew of passing records as well... stop being stupid.

Anyway, keep driveling on and on with your ignorant BS... it's funny to me... I can't wait to see what you write next.

Pat....I'm done having this argument with you. The fact that you cant look at the facts without being a homer is seriously your problem. Your not going to change my mind, nor am I going to give a crap what you say. The facts are the facts, like em or leave em.

They just weren't what you said they were is all. You used different parameters for each player to try and make Romo look better. You see to be the only one that doesn't see it. Just fess up already, you're getting annoying.

That's just it dude. That's my opinion. I'm not going to back down, you cant prove me wrong, and if you dont like it, maybe your the one who should "fess up" or just walk away. Besides, I enjoy seeing how delusional some of you are. And, it fun to get you all riled up.

It's a shame you're done. I was really quite entertained, hearing things like "I'd put Brady at 2 or 3, behind Manning and Roethlisberger" ...

I agree that Ben runs better than Brady does. I'll give you that. But EVERYTHING else leans heavily in Brady's favor. So yes, the facts are the facts... I agree with you there. But you're not stating facts. You're stating opinions. And they go against ALL of the facts.

Conventional wisdom states that opinions can't be wrong, since they're only opinions... but somehow, you've defied all that... because your opinion is clearly wrong. And that's a fact.

No it isn't your opinion. I did prove you wrong. Sorry. I don't know what is wrong with you, but if you have no more nonsense to spew I'm done with you.

I think Pat said it best. You found some way to make an opinion wrong, cause yours clearly is. On so many different levels.

Cowboy fans intellectually make molasses look like a cheetah.

Not sure how many more consecutive years of blatant failure by Romo will make them realize that he is no elite NFL QB and never will be.

Alex Smith fan? I don't remember ever proclaiming myself to be an Alex Smith fan, just a 49er fan.

Thats a ridiculous comment. Do you ever see any 49er games trying to hype up Smith like Cowboys fans do Romo?

Take your swiss cheese 7th grade arguments elsewhere, somewhere more fit for someone of your maturity and intellectual level. Im not even joking.

That sounds ALOT better than Romo is better than Brady now. Was that a valid argument... absolutely. Do I think its accurate, no. That's what this website is about peoples opinions. But it does make for some funny reading when people take it to heart. Those need to realize it's just all in good fun.

No, he's more like the Emperor. Vader saves the day at the end of Return of the Jedi and then everyone likes him. The Emperor was never the good guy. But that wouldn't work out cuz then who would Belichick be? Never mind. Belichick's the Terminator. But from the first Terminator. Have you ever seen one of Belichick's friggin press conferences?!?! The guy has like no emotion! He's always got the same dull tone lol. I love his conferences after a win! I'm sure he tears Brady a new ass after the game though since he's never happy. "Five touchdowns?!?! What is this?!?! This isn't junior high!! I want double that next game!!" lol he must have been a psycho in the locker room after losing the Super Bowl after an undefeated season lol

You know dude, your kinda like the beat-down boxer who keeps getting up because his pride. You should learn when to walk away, take the L, and argue another day. Its not heroic, its sad. Coupled with you refusal to read and comprehend what is being said, your making yourself look bad.  To hopefully help you out here, I'm going to break it down as follows: first,I'm going to prove where your comprehension skills have walked away from you. Then, Ill cover my final arguments one more time. If it still gets by you after that, well...I'll just feel sad for you.

OK. Post 11. Romo's name was never mentioned, nor was any comparative statements made. Strike One.

Post 23. Props for at least finding the right field. I believe that this was the one were I compared there two first seasons as a starter. You said that I "bent" the facts to my argument and that I didn't use accurate numbers(BTW, even if you don't like then, doesn't make it untrue: 14: starts and 15 games played is a full season, 7 games started and 8 played in is not). In this post i clearly said "

True, he didn't win the Superbowl, the biggest stat that counts, but had an equal amount of success through the first season as Brady did" . Where did i say Romo had a better season. Deductive reasoning would say after reading that, I did indeed say Brady had the better season, not Romo. Swing and a whiff number 2.

And ahh, the best one you saved for last. Post number 32. I say this is my best, because I clearly wrote the context of this argument, for the simple minded who would attack me just because they didn't like the subject. Let me post again.

Its not right to compare his one season vs. Brady's career, the way injury's can change it. Sure, comparing first years, there you go. Compairing Brady's years of play in the NFL vs. Romo's year and a half isn't fair to Romo, nor is it fair to compair tom Brady's 3 rings to romo's seeing as he hasn't been playing long enough to have 3. Strike 3.

Now, if for some ungodly reason, your still not comprehending what I'm saying, as I did in at least 4 posts, Ill reiterate: Could Romo be better than Brady down the road? Absolutely. Could he have one good season and never be heard from again? Sure. Is he better then Brady now? No . He's only played one and one half season, he still has a lot of learning to do, like how to be "clutch". Thanks for trying kid. Have a good one.

So... basically, what you're saying is... you have nothing to say, so you're going to make ambiguous statements based on hypothetical situations, which may or may not happen, and whether or not they do, it has no bearing whatsoever on the current discussion anyway...

That's what I got out of all of this... let me know if I missed something.

Im Bradys shower boy, and I dont like what your saying, you must be off topic. Thanks for playin' pat. Try agian, when brady gets done with you.
