According to Terezowens.com, the seven-time Super Bowl champion appeared this week on the “Complex Sports Podcast” and said he doesn’t understand why New York Giants fans hate him. “How could you hate me when you’re a Giants fan? You should love me! That was the only team I never beat. The frickin’ Giants. ... I got to figure out how to beat the Giants someday, we have to have some kind of rematch in Tampa in a championship game.” Brady has a point. The Giants beat him and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII to ruin their run at a perfect 19-0 season. Four years later, the Giants upset the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. Heck, the only reason Eli Manning is a borderline candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame is his two Super Bowl MVP awards, both of which came at Brady’s expense. In fact, during the NFL’s Draft-a-thon last week for the 2021 NFL Draft, Brady was asked if he would trade two of his record seven titles for that perfect season in 2007. “I would, 100%” was his answer |
You misspelled Justin Edelman's name. The correct spelling is: W-E-L-K-E-R. ;o)

...I think Giselle was referring to Edlemens miss that went through his hands near the end of the game.

now that he's in TB
How do you know what other people revise?
I met Brady on charity bike ride for pediatric cancer in 2008, such a good dude, very philanthropic, seemed down to earth even then when he'd achieved so much - on field, in life, in wealth.
I interacted with him again the next year at Vince Wilfork's draft day party which was in my town at a local bowling alley/arcade/fun zone - again reinforced my initial impression.
I didn't hate him before then, and I admired him ever since.
Not sure how you know what people are revising historically.
Obviously there are individuals (you). But on the whole, I think most people are not hating him now but really did hate him then.

And there's also an individual (you) who I am not sure is qualified to say what people (Giants fans) on the whole felt about Brady when he was in New England (which was all of 1 year ago) and suddenly change their opinion of him as he changed location.
A reporter once asked Reggie Jackson if all the "boos" (that he encountered in visiting stadiums) bothered him.
Reggie simply replied... "Well, they don't boo nobodies."

He beat the Giants in the final 2007 regular-season game.
Also 2003, 2015, 2019 and 2020. He's 5-3 lifetime. But to a guy with Brady's trophy case, five regular-season wins don't mean much.
None really in a big game.
Those years he beat us, the Giants weren't exactly lighting it on fire.
He has been a great player. Engaged and competitive. He would be a GOD in NY if he had that career with the Giants.
He didn't really give them a choice. When you destroy your phone you are essentially admitting guilt. Brady handled that whole ordeal very poorly. Had the opportunity to just come clean and save the big hassle but chose not to.
Prior to that Brady got a ton of preferential treatment, as did Peyton Manning. The NFL rules as we know them today are in large part because of these 2 players.
I think most Giants fans with a brain happen to like Brady very much. It's the baffoons that rooted for the Eagles in the Superbowl because they were "sick of the Pats" that are generally a peculiar, yet relatively small, group.
That fact that some Giants fans, on this board no less, routed for the Eagles in that SB is an obscenity.

Definitely true.
They asked to have their own balls for game day; they (well, Peyton) complained about strictly enforcing illegal contact by DBs on receivers; they essentially criminalized any hit on QBs (driven largely by Bernard Pollard hitting Brady in the knee in 2008 to knock him out for the season); and maybe one or two others I am missing.

The fumble/non-fumble rule?

From the league, lol what? Remember he got suspended for BS?

More so Manning. The rules outlawing defense were a direct result of Polian crying to the NFL that the Pats manhandled them int he AFC Title game.
Watch this Funny or Die episode that features Brady.
Tom Brady's Wicked Accent - ( New Window )
I hated Brady after him acting cocky in the press conference leading up to SB 42. But I got over it after we beat him a second time. I'm somewhat indifferent to him at this point.
I think that's a big part of it.
Give the guy credit for not being insufferable. I know I'd be.
Brady Sr. actually called into a radio show to share his thoughts on the contest.
He told the "Zolak & Bertrand" show on Boston's 98.5 The Sports Hub that:
"I saw the [NFL's 2021] schedule come out last night and I started salivating when I saw that we play the Patriots in the fourth game of the season. And that we're coming up here [New England] to make our record 4-0 after the fourth game. ...
"We expect to beat the Patriots rather handily, frankly."
Yes! This!
Love that he couldn’t beat the Giants
Yet. You don't hate Dak yet.
Living up here in Patriots nation will sour you on any player on the team. (Except Teddy Brusci; I liked him. And I can’t help but like Bill Belichick, despite his assholery.)
Yes, Brady seems like an entitled D-bag to me. So happy the Giants and Eli beat him 2x. Again, Pat fans are the 21st version of Cowboy fans. I grew up in CT and I didn’t know a single fan of theirs. Not a single one!
My wife, a casual football fan and pseudo Giants fan, hates him.
I ask her why and she reverts back to Giselle in the elevator being pissed about the Pats loss in the SB 46 saying "my husband can't throw AND catch the ball, the other players have to do something".....I think Giselle was referring to Edlemens miss that went through his hands near the end of the game.
She also refers to the SB 42 quote by TB "we're only gonna score 17 points?....welllllll, OK"
Neither of these things bother me
Tom is without a doubt the GOAT, and was the GOAT well before that last SB win.
My wife hates him also...but because he cheated on his pregnant wife.
Hadn’t thought about him that way but you’re absolute correct. Fuck him!
