Thank Goodness We DON'T Have Tom Brady

Wow, can you believe the selfish lazy attitude of this guy. Bellicheck ought to cut his ass TODAY:

Monday Morning QB-Peter King (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/05/09/mmqb.tom.brady/1.html)

... Last year was pretty disappointing in a lot of ways, obviously. Losing to Baltimore the way we lost in the playoffs, losing leads late, losing on the road. Every year is so different, and the way we approach this year will be extremely important. We need to see the toughness. We need to see the commitment. Can we take the coaching?''

Brady will hear a lot of questions about his commitment, now that he's spending so much time in Los Angeles. Hs goal in the offseason used to be to win the prized parking spot given to the most dedicated player in the offseason program. Now his family goals take precedence, and because his older son (he shares custody), lives in Los Angeles, he feels he has to be in southern California more. He made it clear he's not going to give short-shrift to either of his sons, and if he has to work on his own for a good part of the offseason, away from his teammates, so be it.

...

Well this makes sense. He has already won rings and is a baller, he feels the need to spend his time on family related issues.

I think that is acceptable.

Of course to put it in context, the last comment on it by Brady seems to sum up the AH saga in my mind as well:
Ultimately, what it comes down to is this: We've all got to be ready to play.''

Well this makes sense. He has already won rings and is a baller, he feels the need to spend his time on family related issues.

I think that is acceptable.

Wait, his team didn't really play good late last year, he is one year removed from major injury, and all these other things we would hear if he were on our team.

I agree it's acceptable, but let's also realize EVERY team has players who aren't at these camps, and yes this was a back-handed way to say get off AH's back.

With that vent out, I understand if the mods lock or merge this thread.

His children should come before anything else. Good for him. Obviously you posted this as a parallel to Haynesworth's stuff. I don't think there's much of a comparison. Haynesworth is a fat lazy loser who doesn't want to do offseason work with the team because he thinks he deserves to be traded. He's a malcontent jackoff IMO. Can't stand the guy.

AH will start getting the benefit of the doubt from me when he carries us to two Super Bowls like Brady.

:lol:

Great point GMScud, after AH starts winning he can get away with things without scrutiny.

Also I think this is a legitimate debate. He was hurt, didn't play well last season, etc. I side with the family however. Just how I feel.

They should trade his ass but who would want a malcontent like that? The dude's a cancer and a disruption to his team! For the kind of money he's making he should LIVE at the practice facility. He epitomizes the term "Spoiled, selfish, athlete". Bastard! Man these guys piss me off!

What is he getting away with? Saying that he wants to train on his own because he admits last season wasn't his best (yet he still was prob one of the best defensive player in a unit that wasn't coached that well)? Saying that he would be best suited to play DE and not NT in the 3-4, and that he'll play whatever the team tells him to do anyway?

Are you saying that AH's situation is worst than when Shawn Springs completely disappearing during the offseason a few seasons ago? Or the Miami players on this team training on their own because they felt like it?

Like I said, people need to get over the 100 mil stuff. Personally, I wish Haynesworth was training with the team, however, I don't think this is the worst thing that could be happening with the team.

You know what I think is worst than this? Changing to the 3-4 and creating a whole bunch of needs on team that didn't have many draft picks. But still, I'm willing to give MS the benefit of the doubt.

Family will be there long after the fans forget your name and the luster of Lombardi trophies wear off. The most impoirtant thing a man can do is be a father to his children. Tom Brady should not face any criticism for this AT ALL. He is a proven winner (3 times) and has never shown up out of shape or unprepared. I congratulate rady for seeing what truly is most important.
