End of an overrated era
He's 1 of the 5 greatest QBs of all-time, even though he hasn't had a lot of post-season success (though he did get the 1 SB win and went to another and lost in a thriller). The reason he's not had post-season success recently is his arm is a noodle at the end of each season when he's playing in cold weather. The reason he didn't have post-season success early in his career is the Colts had no defense. Brady, by contrast, played with a great D in his early years, but hasn't had a good D the last several years till this year. And he hasn't won a SB in a while. Not because he isn't great but because they haven't had a complete team. Adding Revis Island and Browner has once again made their D 1 of the better Ds in the league, and that's why I think they're going to win the SB this year. Marino similarly never won a SB but is 1 of the greatest of all-time. He never won a SB because their Ds sucked, not because he wasn't great.
I'm not sure who is more irritatingly smug - Tom Brady or Pats fans who have just become big football fans over the last 15 years.
If you were surprised at the refs overturning that call, you haven't been paying attention the last several years.
Did y'all talk about how fucking awesome Chuck Pagano's dad was on this thread yesterday?
