For the record I did not say he was terrible, others have played into their 40's so please really, and super bowl wins are a reflection of the coaching and the entire team not just the QB.

He's OK but as usual with any NEP fan, "Brady walks on water". Ok whatever - rolling my eyes - Belichick is the reason for his success. Brady - Belichick = 0

I will give him some credit though, he cries a little less than Kaepernick.

I don't ever remember Belichick throwing any touchdown passes. Belichick - Brady = 0 also.
Most players are lucky to play at a high level for 5 to 10 years. To play at the level he's at for over 20 years and actually play better into his 40's is and incredible feat.

Brady + Belichick = 7 Superbowls

Rolling in laughter that somehow some slob in NH (a title that we all qualify for) can opine that Brady is just OK or that Kaepernick cries. What these guys have done is extraordinary. None of us could even carry their water (they drink a lot!) You should give them all a lot of credit.

Playing any professional sport at the highest level takes a lot of talent. To play at the level he has played for over 20 years is extraordinary talent.
Most guys are lucky if they make it and can stick around a few years.
Some players act like dick heads because they think they are above everyone else, AKA Brown. Brady has done it without bosting or bragging. He lets everyone else do the bosting and bragging. All he does is WIN!

Couldn’t agree more!....Tom let’s his stats do his talking for him! He is the GOAT QB and closed that door behind him a while ago! No one compares or comes close to the records he has set!

My son played a sport professionally for ten years, just retiring this year due to health issues. I know first hand the physical and mental struggles they go through.
Guys like Brown give the regular players a bad name. Fans love the stars no matter how they act personally. But for every star player there are 20 or 30 regular players that put in the same work, if not more, just to stay in the game and make a living to support their families.
So when a guy like Brady goes about his business like a regular player I have enormous respect for that.
The way the fans treated Andrew Luck was disgraceful.

And don’t forget that Brady has restructured his contract to make money available for the players around him (that make him look good). That’s the ultimate sign of a team first kind of guy. He could easily be the highest paid but that’s not what’s most important to him. (And I think his wife still makes more than he does. Had to throw that in.)

Default Case Dismissed

New Hampshire prosecutors have dismissed a charge of cocaine possession against New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung, according to statement from Belknap County Attorney Andrew Livernois.

Chung, 32, was indicted in August on a felony charge one count of possession of a controlled drug, found in his Meredith, New Hampshire home during an incident in June.

The charge was dismissed on terms that he will remain on good behavior for a two-year period. He will also submit to state-monitored drug testing and perform forty hours of community service. If Chung fails to comply with those conditions, the state has the power to reinstate the charge and prosecute the NFL player.

Interesting... wonder how many average "people" would get that same charges dismissed with the promise of good behavior and a little community service.

It would probably be better for society overall if they throw the book at celebrity criminals. IMHO

Not just celebrity criminals but all criminals that think they can buy their way out of trouble.

Your chances when facing a criminal charge are much brighter when you hire a talented, capable attorney.

Generally, the more money you have the less you have to worry about getting caught up in life's entanglements.

Pretty much all of them. The state does not want to incarcerate anyone for first time possession of a little coke.
