Brady cannot understand why Giants fans “hate” him

Big Blue '56 : 5/13/2021 11:28 am
Quote:


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

think most fan bases have a certain amount of hate for Brady. It just comes with the territory. When you are at the top of your game, there will always be haters.

Giants fans would hate him either

Hate is too strong. The laugh when he said, "We are only going to score 17 points?" put some spice in it though.
As a guy at the top of the game, sure, he attracts hate, or at least  
Mad Mike : 5/13/2021 11:34 am : link
dislike. But Giants' fans definitely dislike him a lot less than many other fanbases.

Hate? No, but that quote turned me off
I do NOT hate Tom Brady  
I Love Clams Casino : 5/13/2021 11:35 am : link
to his logic....why would I?

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.

He's smug, but I don't hate him.

Of course it'd be different if XLII & XLVI had gone the other way...
Aside from not beating the eagles  
bLiTz 2k : 5/13/2021 11:35 am : link
And causing me the most miserable time I've ever had as a sports fan seeing them win their first title,

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.

Brady's kind of douchey,  
an_idol_mind : 5/13/2021 11:36 am : link
and that's why people don't like him.

But yeah, as Giants fans we've got no reason to hate on him.

I do carry a grudge against Landon Collins for dropping the easiest interception of his career in what would have ruined their 10-0 start in 2015, though.

Some really do, although I don't get why.

Boston vs NYC thing?
Just general Patriots hate/hating the person on top?

I don't know, I don't get it though. We own him and he's the best ever. I fucking love that.

anyone who isnt on the Giants

But I dont hate Tom Brady.

Hell I dont even hate Dak, i hate the Cowboys, I hate Zeke Elliot, I hate Demarcus Lawrence. But I dont hate Dak
Brady is arrogant  
AnnapolisMike : 5/13/2021 11:40 am : link
and he has good reason to be so. Giant fans hate is reserved for divisional opponents.
Brady Is A Pretty Boy Douche

His "We're only going to score 17 points?" comment sealed it for me.

I don't hate him. I love Brady. He was on the field for 2 of the greatest days of my life and he spent well over a decade making Jets fans miserable.

What's not to love?
I love Brady

Right there with ya. Rodgers is another level of douche...Dak is a likable player, but obligatory F the Cowboys.
I agree  
KDavies : 5/13/2021 11:45 am : link
I never hated the Patriots. We always beat them when it mattered.

I usually root for the Patriots in the Super Bowl. I hate a lot of NFC teams for obvious reasons. And I root for Belichick. He helped the Giants win 2 SBs as DC.
Brady's story is a miracle...  
bw in dc : 5/13/2021 11:51 am : link
A sixth round, super-unathletic draft choice who defied incredible odds. There should be no hate for the guy. Only respect and admiration.

And for the most decorated player in the history of the sport, he is tremendously humble.
I actually like Brady because  
DC Gmen Fan : 5/13/2021 11:52 am : link
he's still older than me - but not by much lol.
He lost to the Eagles in the Super Bowl  
allstarjim : 5/13/2021 11:59 am : link
That's enough reason to hate him.

Seriously though, I think as he's aged, Brady has either become more likable, I think. He's not on the Patriots anymore, and the fact that he was able to win one without BB in New England, just adds to his legacy and respect I have for him, even though that Tampa team arguably had/has more talent than any of the other Super Bowl winning teams Brady had in New England.

I also looked at Brady in a little bit of a different light for the way he handled the dude who stole his jersey from his locker room at the Super Bowl that he won I believe against Atlanta. He could've been a real jerk to that guy and he just forgave him.

Brady is my age and I go up stairs with pain in my knees, this man is still playing pro football at a high level. Just have to respect what he's done, the dedication he gives to the game and how hard he trains, works, everything he's put into it.

He's an unbelievable person.
He comes across as a bit

Brady handled the loss graciously.

mfsd : 5/13/2021 12:09 pm : link
Nothing but respect for him as a player. He’s said/done some cringeworthy things over the years, but what elite athlete in the spotlight hasn’t done that here and there? Certainly nothing to warrant hate

He’s also always been respectful to Eli and the Giants for beating them in the SB twice
agreed  
LG in NYC : 5/13/2021 12:10 pm : link
I never understood any Giants fans who hated Brady or the Pats.

as some here have already said, I think Brady is a little douchey personally but I never disliked him as a football players and I never disliked the Pats other than being tired of their constant success year after year.

Yeah I used to hate him. Back when he had those epic games in the AFC Playoffs vs Peyton...I was always rooting for big brother...shit, I was ALWAYS rooting against Brady no matter who was playing them. Until that Eagles-Patriots Super Bowl, of course.

And at least for me, it's much less about his move to Tampa, that might be a small part of it, but it's a lot more about recognizing the commitment he has to the game, and I think he's mellowed a bit, as well. Just that he's still doing it at 43 years old, it's unbelievable. The guy is a year and 25 days younger than me and just won a Super Bowl. My knees hurt, my neck hurts, my back hurts, and I couldn't run around the block a couple of times without needing the rest of the day off my feet.

Seems like a good family man too  
DC Gmen Fan : 5/13/2021 12:16 pm : link
thats a plus in my book
He’s a big doof  
UConn4523 : 5/13/2021 12:20 pm : link
but I absolutely loved Brady until all the cheating came to light then I became indifferent. I respect his career but I like other QBs better.
We hate him for losing to the Eagles!  
Chris684 : 5/13/2021 12:25 pm : link
Ugh..
Eli is borderline????  
Big Blue in MD : 5/13/2021 12:25 pm : link
I take more offense to Mike Rosenstein's comment that the "only reason Eli is a borderline HOF candidate" take. these SuperBowl victories solidify the HOF. Statistically he is borderline because of the overall record but other than that he should be in, especially if Kurt Warner is in.
Tom relax...  
Giant John : 5/13/2021 12:33 pm : link
I can’t speak for all Giant fans but I can speak for myself. I don’t hate you. I don’t even dislike you. I have nothing but respect for your accomplishments (except for the little problem with the inflation thing) and the couple of things you haven’t accomplished on the field. Compliments on the wife too!
Have a great day.
I admire a guy that can play at that level  
MattyKid : 5/13/2021 12:35 pm : link
at his age when most of us are bitching about our achy knees. It's like hating Michael Jordan. I'm a Knicks fan. I don't hate MJ. We are fortunate to witness pure greatness. I only wish I got to see Jim Brown play.
I actually always liked Brady for this reason  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 5/13/2021 12:39 pm : link
The more success he had, the better those 2 Super Bowl wins over him looked in hindsight.

But 7 is enough, getting one without Bill was fine but I don't ever want to see win another one lol
I have been telling anyone that will listen for years...  
BCD : 5/13/2021 12:41 pm : link
that I have nothing against Brady in fact I love the dude and rooted for him in the SB....yea we got his number...until we meet this year then let's get after his ass.

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.
I don't. Or didn't. But these kind of comments make people
