Brady Sucks...

Recently Tom Brady was hatin on Jets fans for calling out "Brady Sucks" after he won 38-14. Now come on Tom, saying a player or a team sucks without any applicability is one of sports proudest traditions. I mean, why else would they announce the visiting team one player at a time, with a notable pause after ever name, if we weren't meant to scream "sucks". But if Tom really wants me to spell out why he sucks, well....

....it's just he is surrounded by an extraordinary team.
I mean, come on, this guy was the backup quarterback at Michigan. Michigan! Not only did Michigan get blown out 39-7 to Oregon, but lost to a 1-AA team two weeks ago. And if Tom was just second-string at a sub-par school, well then, the only explanation for his renaissance is he is surrounded by superior talent that drags him up to excellence.

...at acting.
Remember those awkward and stilted commercials with Tom Brady some three years ago? Well, luckily that faded quickly. And judging by the exponential growth in Peyton commercials, we'll never have to suffer those again.

...at commitment.
I don't think I need to explain, come on Brady, be a man.

...at making football interesting.
Does anyone pay attention to tennis or golf these days? Of course not, one player so dominates each sport that it makes every tournament a foregone conclusion. Honestly, without fantasy football and isolated pockets of Patriots fans, who is going to pay attention to the NFL if the Pats keep on this course? Red Sox fans don't yell the Yankees suck because we deride their playing ability, but because they nearly destroyed baseball in the late nineties. I know everyone asks to watch dominate players at the top of their form playing, but it's the worst viewing experience. I mean, come on, if and when the Patriots blow out San Diego, who will be surprised, and who will care?
