here's a pats thread for everyone to talk about patritos shit because nobody else cares

and the breakup rumors are true because brady sniffed out the plan and outmaneuvered bill which is the greatest insult imaginable

bill simmons had an interesting pod with francesca about this...bill sort of falls somewhere in the middle. his thing is he finds it hard to believe that belichick would ever take that order from kraft, or that kraft would actually issue it

thank you for listening to bill simmons so i don't have to :)

just saw a tv ad for "12 Strong" & every time an action movie comes out around the playoffs i'm like, is this the annual mark wahlberg us vs everybody movie for the pats team outing

hard to believe that belichick would ever take that order from kraft, or that kraft would actually issue it

easy for me to believe that belichick would be made to understand what kraft wanted without literally being told. an order delivered with plausible deniability for all. deniable not only to the outside world, but even to themselves.

idk why its hard to imagine kraft saying brady is retiring a patriot and thats that he does own the team

yeah i believe it's much more likely kraft said "brady is a retiring a patriot" than "trade jimmy" even if the end result is the same.

i support brady retiring a pat and also he shd do it within the next year or two prob

although as long as hes playing good.....

it wld be pretty incredible from a decline of american football perspective if he got caught juicing after all this

If youre good they let you do it

feels like there's no incentive for anyone to really looking into juicing in football but if they did brady would be a good place to start

man hes just using muscle elongation

tbqh considering the strain football puts on the body itd make sense to allow some juicing for recovery purposes

def

supervised juicing

we can call it "sprucing" just to eliminate bad connotations

i have no idea what i'm watching

excerpt from PFF's new 'qb annual'. would love to see the rest of this and i like PFF a lot but i have a cherished internet policy of parasitism and i try to never pay for any content

thinking abt it, i support 2 patreons, pay a sub for a gdamn rss reader, and contributed to the last ilx drive so i am actually among online's foremost philanthropists but i am still not paying for a sports website.

i paid for a year of greg bedard's site, more because i want to see that model succeed than because i'm dying for content.

lol wtf if that scaling

sort of feel like if you’re going to come up with a QB metric you better make sure brady was #1 in at least a few seasons in his 20s and 30s before you unveil it

PFF isn't the definitive word but I like it a lot alongside other stats. in a sport that understands its own data so poorly i think a measure based on grading play-by-play performance is super valuable, even with caveats. football has to be the hardest sport to separate what we notice is happening from the full picture of what is actually happening

Congrats to Tom Brady on being picked as Patriots Player of the Week, what an incredible journey

non-td call on the field was appalling

rong

Are you arguing with yourself?

lol i meant rong thread, i reposted on the playoffs thread

“We used to always mess with Hernandez when we were on the field and say, ‘Hey man I heard they found the body,'” Scott said. “And we thought it was a joke because we knew something had happened in Florida. So the whole running joke was hey I heard they found the body. Like we all knew he was a bad guy, there had been stories floating around this guy for years.”

lol bold

wow dont f w lil brady

Tom Brady cuts his weekly interview short on WEEI, saying he was disappointed to hear of news that host Alex Reimer made a disparaging remark about his daughter when discussing the "Tom vs. Time" documentary. Brady said he is evaluating if he wants to be on the show again.

— Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) January 29, 2018

An inside source at WEEI has confirmed that Alex Reimer has been fired for inappropriate comments about Tom Brady's daughter.

— Rob Harrington (@bharrington5585) January 29, 2018

On WEEI’s “Kirk & Callahan,” on Monday, Brady called out the station for comments made the preceding Thursday by host Alex Reimer about Brady’s daughter, Vivian, and her appearance in the documentary, “Tom vs. Time.” On air, Reimer referred to her as an “annoying little pissant.”

whatever else you think about the comment itself it was a powerful career move by this guy

i wonder if he knew as soon as the words left his mouth

btw been meaning to say "the patriots shd go back to those ridiculous elvis shoulder uniforms"

agreed. the 90s were a real boom time for pats uniforms.
