The 22-year-old Brady was just as confident as the 34-year-old version that takes the field every Sunday for the Patriots.

“I still have the image of Tom Brady coming down the old Foxboro stadium steps with that pizza box under his arm, a skinny beanpole, and when he introduced himself to me and said ‘Hi Mr. Kraft,’ he was about to say who he was, but I said ‘I know who you are, you’re Tom Brady. You’re our sixth round draft choice,’” recalled Kraft. “And he looked me in the eye and said ‘I’m the best decision this organization has ever made.’ It looks like he could be right.”

I'm not a big fan of the Patriots as an organization ever since they got caught cheating but it is really hard not to be a Brady fan. The guy is pure "awesomeness".

Wow. Just wow. :D :D

Not really. Dude is not a likable at all. He's very arrogant and cocky. I respect what he's accomplished, but I can't stand the guy. He's a total ******bag.

Well to me a hater is someone who tries to downplay a guy's accomplishments. I'm not doing that I have all the respect in world for him and he's one of the 5 greatest quarterbacks of all time IMO, but I just don't like the guy.

I want to see the pats lose the SB on a pick 6 from Brady. That would be a perfect ending.

Show me where he has been arrogant and cocky.

OK, I am in again.

I wonder how much hate people would have for Tom Brady if he was their QB??? Well, the answer is none.

I guess people can say he has too much. Too good looking, beautiful wife, lots of money, success on the football field. He seems to have it all - and if people have a problem with his confidence, what can I say?? You want your QB going into a game thinking he is going to lose? -- you want that confidence, that drive to win.

I have heard it all, he is a wimp, he is a whiner, he is not tough enough, he is just a system QB, oh, in Indy - he is gay, what else??? What a bunch of bull. He is an overall great guy considering what he has, very level headed, but has an extreme drive to win. And to work at it to be the best that he can. I listen to it all, and say -- whatever, all bull. If I could give you a 22 year Brady right now on your team - what, you would say no -- and you expect anyone to believe you???

Me, best thing that ever happened to the Patriots organization - Brady. That along with Belichick and Kraft (although I cannot stand Kraft honestly).

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

qhw_YLGmvKw

Perfect example.

[FootballFan1]

Perfect example.

Um, you mean confidence??? Again, do you want your QB going into a game without confidence??

And I think the Pats are known for not throwing trash around, and respecting the teams they play -- unlike teams like the Jets or Pittsburgh.

Please already - you want a QB that doesn't have confidence??? Seriously?

There's being confident and then there's being a flat out ******bag. The latter is Brady.

Aha, that's OK, you are trying to goat me. And it is OK - I can handle it. Because in the scheme of things, Brady still plays for the Pats.

You had your share of good QB's - glad the Pats got one too!

[Gemini Dolly]

LOL. Cool story.

He sure has backed up his claim.

[Rogah]

Perfect example.Wow. If that's the best you have of the guy acting arrogant, then you've really done nothing but destroy your own contention.

[Rogah]

LOL. Cool story.

He sure has backed up his claim.I just don't understand why this story is actually being reported on like it is something new. Not only did he make the comment 12 years ago, but that story has already been widely reported for years. I am not sure why CBS Boston decided to rehash it and present it like it was something previously unknown.

[FootballFan1]

That one is easy - stir the pot. Like the hype with Tebow. Are you kidding me with that guy -- what has he done?? I am not knocking the guy, but the media goes in the direction of stirring the pot.

It is going to be one tough game for us tomorrow. The Ravens have a seriously good defense -- the kind that gives Brady, or for that matter any QB trouble. No QB can get the job done with someone in his face.

I respect the Ravens, and their team. Win or lose, at least I will not have to hear about the Patriots not winning a post season game anymore. Even against the Broncos, who in my opinion did not belong there to begin with.

San Fran vs. Giants - looking for a 49er win. And if we cannot win would like to see them win. That all said, the Giants have put on an impressive effort over the last month and it is anyone's game. And think Eli has done a good job overall.

And let the games begin.

[CoCo]

Wow, no kidding. I guess I'm going to have to look up that definition again because that is about a million miles away from my understanding of arrogance.

Or maybe this was supposed to be an example for Plaxico. ;)

[BraveHeartFan]

That story has always been one of the many reasons that I'm a huge Tom Brady fan.

I love for your QB to have confidence, even the kind that borders on arrogance.


I've said this before, but I'll mention it again, of my all time favorite things I've seen in football came when the Chargers were playing the Colts, I believe is who it was, and the game went into OT.

The Chargers won the toss and when they did Phillip Rivers proclaimed "Ballgame." Then proceeded to go out and drive his team to the game winning score.


I loved it. Some people thought it made him overly cocky, and built it into his arrogant personality people bag on him for, but I loved it.


I have no problem with confidence and swagger like this.

[CowboysFanSince88]

Really no reason for a Cowboys Fan to hate Tom Brady since

1. He plays in the AFC
2. He never beat the Cowboys in the SB


I would like to see him get ring number 4 since he has done so many favors for me since 2003

[tupperware]

That's arrogant?
I have no problem with Brady, great QB. I'm just pointing out the example.

Given that he threw 50 TDs and was a large part of the reason their offense was so potent in 2007, I'd say yes, the "We're only going to score 17 points" was arrogant.

In my opinion it's okay to be arrogant and cocky all day if you can back it up and Brady can.

The person I replied to made it seem like Brady had never been arrogant or cocky before, he has.

I believe him that day_LOL I thought for sure that the Seahawks were going to win

[Future]

Perfect example.
Erm, he was responding to being called out by Plexiglass. If I was 18-0 with one of the best offenses of all time, being called out by the other team's receiver, I would have said the same thing. And I bet most QBs would.

How would you respond if Tony had been in that position and said "Yeah, probably. We'll be lucky to only score 2 tds." ??

That's arrogant?
Took the words out of my mouth.

Tom Brady is the freaking man.

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

That's arrogant?

Yes it is how is it not?

[Rogah]

Yes it is how is it not?How it is not is because it is confidence, not arrogance. Don't confuse the two.

Shady Brady is an a**hat either way

[SkinsandTerps]

I can't believe anyone would find that clip of Brady as showing arrogance.

If anything it showed focus. He took it in stride as typical talk, and even joked about it. I didn't even see cocky in that clip.

Some of you guys really reach.

The guy is one of the best QBs in the game. His confidence is no different than many superstars in any sport. It's not like he is a jerk about being good. He just knows that he is good and beats himself up over mistakes than anyone else does.

You want to see arrogant and cocky...take a look at Brett Favre.

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

[tupperware]

I think your right. It really is "just you" that feels that way.
I thought it was kind of cocky myself. More cocky than arrogant really, but what does it matter? I think it's good to be cocky when you can back it up. Once again for those who cannot read, I pointed out an example. I never said I thought it was a bad thing.

[rash]

i dont care what people say about him.

the man is a machine.



i'm rooting for the pats because
1. i want an exciting superbowl
2. i don't want the 49ers to win their 6th
3. seeing the giants get another ring would make me puke

Ok, Hold up. You say this then root for and have a rapist in ur sig? Kobe is one of the most arrogant,self-righteous,baby,***** in all of sports. Cmon!!!

[ABQCOWBOY]

Brady almost got broken in half on that QB sneak. Somebody has teach that guy to dive forward, not up and over. I seriously thought he was hurt when Ray Lewis stuck Brady right in the back. His body bent the wrong way. He was pretty lucky he wasn't more seriously hurt.

Imagine if they didn't get it AND lost Brady.

Just more proof that it is better to be lucky than good.

[DFWJC]

Have to chime in a and disagee on this one.
I don't see Brady as that at all.

[Verdict]

I think Tom Brady is the best QB in the game right now, and second isn't even close. Would I want him to QB the Cowboys? Sure, as long as he continued to play like he is now .... absolutely.

Moreover, his accomplishments are irrefutable. He also seems to elevate the players around him.

He is also very confident. That is part of what makes him a great player.

However, I do not believe being confident and being an arrogant "*****" are mutually exclusive. One can be both.

I think at times he comes across very smug and and as an arrogant *****. That is just my opinion. Opinions vary. But to say he CANNOT be both confident AND an arrogant ***** are wrong, IMHO. That's not to say he IS which is a "Question of fact" but that it is POSSIBLE for him to be both.

[JackWagon]

I wish ours was that arrogant and could back it up like brady has.

12 seasons .... 5 superbowls.

And the first couple were with spares at WR and RB.

you have to go back in history to find dudes to compare tom brady to ...

Scary thing is i think Staubach would have been the greatest ever if he didnt have to spend 5 years in the Navy.

Tom Brady might not be the greatest ever .. but he certainly is in the conversation.

[Rogah]

Stupid call by the "Greatest Coach of all Time":laugh2:

Yeah, calling a QB sneak on 4 and goal from the 1 foot line was moronic. Wait, whuh? :confused:

How is it not close? Rodgers put up far superior numbers this season and he's got a Super Bowl.

At that point in the game with the score where it was at? Remember the plays which immediately preceeded it?

It was a BIG balls call and classic big Bill but not worth the risk AT THAT TIME.

They don't make it or Brady gets hurt.....

Good to see your hindsight is 20/20 though.

[FootballFan1]

I don't know why anyone is saying anything about Brady and the QB sneak. He has been doing it for years with great success. It was no one time thing - that is for sure. And no "great" call by Belichick - he goes with what works.

The guy cannot win. He goes for a QB sneak, and it is a stupid call. Oh, he is going to get hurt - are you kidding?? Oy, just make the call, an easy one. The guy is 6'4'', 225 pounds. I think he can handle it. And again, tried to find info on it (percentage wise), but he gets the first down almost every time. An easy call. Now, if he had to run downfield like Favre, that is a different story.

And also the kicker incident is cheating -- didn't even look at it because it is so ridiculous. What, you don't know what down it is?? And the whole play looked rushed. That is on the Ravens, not the Patriots. Them thinking it was a gimmee and not thinking it through. Well, let's get this kick over with and move on. Wait just a moment, how about you have to make the field goal FIRST.

That all said, I like the Ravens players. They play a tough game, but a clean game. I like that in a team. The Broncos on the other hand, actually try to hurt players. I can see it in the calls and how they hit. Nasty team, in spite of the spirit from god with Tebow - please already with the nonsense.

Yeah, it was a tough loss for the Ravens. They could have won it, and had a shot at it. But always remember the basics and don't just assume the after kick, or short field goal kick is a gimmee. The basics. I saw the guy on the Ravens team saying OMG when the kick was not good. Hello, pay a little more attention to the details. Like the SF kid that fumbled on the kick-off. How did that happen?? Rushed play, not getting down to the basics, which in my opinion can make a difference in every game. Actually, it is not an opinion, it is a fact in both championship games. Pay attention to the details.

Good to see your hindsight is 20/20 though.Dude, it was 4th and goal from the 1 foot line and they ran a quarterback sneak. They weren't exactly revolutionizing the sport of football with that play, nor was it some sort of grossly incompetent call. It was the right call and Brady sacrificed his body to get the touchdown. For some reason, some people in here see that as worthy of derision.

[Rogah]

I don't know why anyone is saying anything about Brady and the QB sneak. He has been doing it for years with great success. It was no one time thing - that is for sure. And no "great" call by Belichick - he goes with what works.+1, although one of the reasons why it is so successful is because oftentimes they call some other play in the huddle and then Brady literally makes the decision to sneak once he is lined up under center and sees the defense.

I honestly believe Harbaugh was a deer in headlights, terrified of "icing his own kicker" a la Jason Garrett.

The funny thing about this is that the Pats didn't even reach 17 points. Only managed 14.

.


Uhmmmm..... Kicking a field goal to tie the game that early in the game after being stopped already in the same short yardage situation would have been a bad call?

Especially since you have the best QB to ever play the game to get you some more points since there is so much time left in the game?

Ok.

[Rynie]

**** Tom Brady. Dude left his PREGNANT girlfriend. Total D-bag.

[AmarilloCowboyFan]

I haven't like Tom Brady since the tuck rule play.

For one, he had both hands on the ball so it wasn't in motion. It was a fumble. Then in an interview after the game he flat out lied and said, "Well, I know I was trying to get rid of the ball" or something to that affect. B.S. he fumbled the ball and he knows it.


Just one of the reasons I can't stand that ******.

[DFWJC]

**** Tom Brady. Dude left his PREGNANT girlfriend. Total D-bag.
hey Rynie

Were you also one of the ones on this site slaughtering Steve Nash--I mean flat out killing the guy--for leaving his wife who just gave birth?

Turns out, all of those folks were way out line given that the child was not his.

Bottomline, neither of us really knows what's up with Brady and his girlfriend.

I agree we do not know what happened to their relationship, and it may have been a amicable breakup, but he doesn't deny the baby. It's his.
