  1. So you're agreeing with every thing I'm saying? You didn't refute any of it. I offered suggestions for his behavior and you agreed. On a side note, glad to see that Brady has dropped his portion of any appeals. Took his medicine. 4 games it is.
  2. 1. Ah, so you meant to say 'millions of Brady's and every other NFLPA members' combined union fees' when you said 'why is he spending millions'? I understand. I also didn't say it was necessarily illogical just that, in my opinion, his ego was a driving factor. Yes, I know, fans/public should be subservient to the all-knowing Tom Brady and NFLPA. Just offering an opinion. 2. He'll always be a sixth round pick who had to work for everything he got in the NFL. He may have reached the pinnacle a few times but he obviously carries that chip on his shoulder. You're right, recent events have changed some of his attitude and appearance (the cheating). 3. So he doesn't NEED to cheat yet still does? Not getting that... So he just enjoys cheating and/or is a poor sportsman? Lacks integrity? Oh, but the second paragraph you say he's just covering a "mistake"? Yes, quite the slip-up to tell the ball boys to deflate the footballs after a referee check and then reimburse them with signed memorabilia. I don't particularly care what kind of person he is but his golden boy image is tarnished. Some people have a hard time accepting it. This is just the cherry on top of the whining and arrogance he's shown since ~2006-2007. For the record, again, I did like him back then but that doesn't matter to you, right? 4. Ah, so by 'success' you meant 'postseason success' - hard to answer your questions when you rephrase them after I post a response. All you wrote was true but the Patriots are a good team. Again, they probably dislike us more than we (maybe just specifically I) dislike them.
  3. Is he spending millions or is the NFLPA footing the bill? Who said anything about it being a logical decision, anyways? I actually did like Brady, he was the underdog. Despite he penchant for diva behavior or other arrogance, he was a winner and essentially the prototype of the QB position. Now, if he needs to cheat to get those results then what is he really? If he destroys his cell phones when he could have cleared his name, what is he really? When he pretends to not be able to feel the difference in ball pressure when any layman can, what is he? The Steelers have been a bigger barrier to our success (although not recently) and I still view them as a bigger rival than the Patriots. The Bengals are a bigger barrier. We've done well against the Patriots, they probably have more animosity towards us.
  4. Because his ego is wrapped up in his image. He's the golden boy, or at least he loves that people think of him that way.
  5. Is it slotted draft position or actual draft position? Ravens like to run around the board, Patriots get their picks forfeited for cheating.
  6. 57 OJ Brigance days until kickoff OJ Brigance played a long football career - not all NFL - through his career. He played in Baltimore both as a Stallion (CFL) and Raven - winning championships with both teams. He made his living as a special teams ace and made the opening tackle in Super Bowl XXXV. Since he playing days, he served with Ravens in Player Development, eventually becoming the Director of the program and appearing on RaveTV. In 2007, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, aka Lou Gehrig's disease), a degenerative spinal nerve disease that kills neurons for voluntary muscles. The average ALS patient survives two to five years after diagnosis. It has sapped his ability to control his muscles over the years. The disease is eventually fatal as it makes even breathing and eating impossible. There is no known cure. However, when everyone was doing the ALS Ice Bucket challenge and donating, it was going to people like OJ. Noted for his charity, kindness, faith, strength, and integrity he's a great asset to the team and has close bonds with many players, staff, and community members.
  7. lol the Madbacker
  8. So tomorrow... OJ, CJ, or Bart Scott?
  9. I think SNL nailed Brady's self-proclaimed 'innocence' on the head back when it happened
  10. Luck's 2015 was definitely more consistently bad.
  11. With the 746th pick, Berad's reclamation-project Ballers select... Mike Tolbert, FB
  12. Yeah, he took a steep decline in productivity last season but I'll blame Cleveland rather than Hawkins. He's limited to be a slot WR but with Dez and TY, that's what I need.
  13. @-Truth-, you're up!
  14. With the 728th (I think) pick, Berad's reclamation-project Ballers select Slot WR extraordinaire, Andrew Hawkins
  15. Went young (except for Watson) on my makeup picks. You guys pretty heavily looted a lot of noteworthy players. Kudos
  16. With the 701st pick (after many skips) Berad's reclamation-project Ballers select RB Devontae Booker
  17. With the 700th pick (after many skips) Berad's reclamation-project Ballers select TE Ben Watson
  18. With the 699th pick (after many skips) Berad's reclamation-project Ballers select OC Max Tuerk
  19. With the 698th pick (after many skips) Berad's reclamation-project Ballers select OG (where he fits better) Jeremiah Poutasi
  20. I was looking at pictures for Chester to post this morning but couldn't drum up motivation for him
  21. Yeah but twitter didn't exist back then lol
  22. We win the SB, people say: 'Think of what this does to our draft position! Ugh!'
  23. Yeah, I remember us being lopsided that way last year. Trestman caught heat for it for sure.
