Around the NFL: Conference Championships Edition

Peyton and Eli are.

Eli Manning demanded a trade because him and daddy refused to play for San Diego and wanted to play for New York.

Peyton told the Colts he would beat them for the next 15 years because he would be that great.

Every quarterback, almost every athlete is egotistic and thinks they are the greatest thing to ever walk the earth.

One person that was not supposed to be this way??? Te'o....

Eli's dad didn't want him there cause of AJ Smith. Peyton said that because he wanted to show he was confident and because he wanted to get drafted first over loudmouth drug and anger problemed Ryan leaf.

Teo isn't a QB so don't bring up that name.

Sounds like you've had the misfortune of meeting a whole bunch of fairweather Ravens fans who really need to get their fan card taken away. I worked in downtown Baltimore for two years and ran into a few annoying fans, but not many.

Going with AMD on this one. I have lived in Baltimore for almost 20 years now. It's the unexplainable hatred of the Skins that really just gets to me. Plus, so many I meet are just real jerks.

If you're a Skins fan, how do you piss off a Ravens fan? Just tell them you really don't care if the Ravens win or lose. They HATE that Skins fans don't care that they hate them.

So when peyton manning says something its "confidence" when tom brady says something ita cause he is an a-hole. And Eli manning called himself elite, while flacco said he was the best quarterback in the NFL. Like I said, every good quarterback is full of himself. Aaron Rogers can't even take a joke he is so full of himself. Every quarterback is conceited and thinks they are the best QB ever. Even RG3, I should walk around saying "talent respects talent" and "I'm the best option", every quarterback is like this. I wouldn't want a quarterback on my team saying "I'm just ok I guess". It's the NFL, every player thinks they are amazing

So you can make excuses for the Manning's but Brady's must be because he's a prick. Funny thing is you say Peyton's was because he was confident and wanted a better draft position, wouldn't Brady's be that he was confident, and wanted to keep his starting spot?

Star athletes have huge ego's, most top level athlete's do, that's part of what makes them succeed - an internal drive and pride in their success. Why hate on that, especially when they back up the talk?

Is it really arrogance when, in fact, you are better than everyone else? Isn't it just a statement of fact?

Tom bradys in a different class of arrogance. He literally is an asshole. Every QB has to be confident as others have already mentioned. You can't have a QB out there saying "I think I'm ok" so every QB has that. What makes Tom Brady different from manning is he's a prick.

Examples: Anthony Smith of the Steelers said he guaranteed that the Steelers were going to beat the then undefeated patriots. Tom Brady was throwing TD passes left and right and instead of just letting his play do the talking, he has to walk up and rub it into the face of smith that they were kicking their ass.

Super Bowl XLII- before the game is played plaxico burress predicts the Giants would win 21-17. Brady, instead of giving the typically QB answer of something along the lines of "I like that he's confident, were going to go out there and prove him wrong; it should be an exciting game," likes to throw out a little asshole prick jab which was "Hahaha we're only going to score 17 points?!?! Okay Plax. Is he playing defense?!?" Overly cocky (not just cocky) and an douchebag comment. Please show me a star QB doing this. Did Montana do this or Steve Young? Don't think so.

Prior to that super bowl I can also add in that Eli, being the nice guy he is, wants to shake toms hand, tom just looks at him and turns the other way like a prick. I remember our own QB RG3 saying "Quarterbacks don't go against Quarterbacks" so maybe Tom should have just shaken his hand since Eli wasn't playing defense and other QBs shake hands. Its little arrogant crap like this Tom has done over the years that builds up in not just the fans mind, because there is a large base of people who hate Tom Brady, but theres also all that respect that people like analysts, the media and coaches have given tom brady over his 12 year career that has gone to his head, which makes him feel like he's in a different class and can get away with little crap like this, which I have yet to see a Manning do, or Brees, or Ryan, or Flacco or Schaub.

And then theres whinning to the refs because he got bumped right after a throw. Before I go on, yes all QBs complain, but theirs complaining and theres whining. Tom Brady whines like a kid (stomping his feet, throwing his arms all over the place, yelling at the ref like the refs his dumb kid or something) I wish I had youtube clips of tom Brady whining to the officials, especially the most recent one against San Fran when he screamed at the ref and spiked the ball and got in the refs face.

xqd5-8k8JmQ He already has two rules made for him for crying out loud! Tuck rule and you can't tap/hit/press against, the QB below the waste or else. Whats mannings rule? Whats Brees's rule? Whats Rodgers rule? What are all the other QBs in the leagues rules that have been created of recent?

My god if Tom Brady was just confident like the other QBs, he would have so much respect from a wide majority of fans. But its all these little things that add up and separate tom from liked to douchebag in many fans eyes.
