Tandaian No. 3 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'm not sure why a lot of people completely ignore the fact Tom Brady and his team were caught cheating twice. Does anybody want to be like Lance Armstrong as a cyclist? Does anybody want to be like Barry Bonds in baseball? It wasn't performance enhancing drugs, but filming team walk throughs is a big deal for game planning. Getting a better grip on footballs is a big deal for QBs. Tom's first 3 Super Bowl wins were by 3 points each. That is a difference of a few plays. Not sure why anybody would want to hitch their wagon with a known cheater.

The Tom Brady story is classic hero mythology. Lowly regarded out of college, 6th round draft pick, gets his chance when the starter is injured. The "tuck rule" in a snowstorm gets him and the Patriots to his first Super Bowl. "Deflate Gate". The filming violations. NFL quarterback is the pinnacle of success for am athlete in the United States, and more than anything else, Super Bowl wins separate the quarterbacks. Brady was far from the best player on the field for Tampa Bay in the win over Kansas City, but he was voted the MVP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
