When you finish with the Brady butt kissing campaign, can you answer a question for me?
Who played better, Brady in SB36 or Brady in SB53?
I think when you factor in the lack of weapons in 2001, Brady in SB36 was much better.  No horrible interception.  No fumble after holding ball for 5+ seconds that was saved by Andrews.  I think the 2001 Brady finds a way to beat the Titans in 2019 playoffs.  That guy was a fighter and not a whiner about what he didn’t have.

Thanks, Mike in WPB

TB12 deserves more blame

Gil Brandt almost died choking on this show once. Luckily Tom let him get some water.

Was the money ever the real issue, or did it always come down to playing time?Also, the Alex Guerrero aspect.

Gronk went to Guerrero because it’s good for Gronk, not because of Brady. Did Alex Guerrero cold shoulder Jimmy Garoppolo? Plus, Tom Brady wasn't a mentor to Garoppolo, but that’s no sin as a teammate.Is there really a power struggle between Kraft, Belichick and Brady of who is most responsible for the franchises' success?
