More unpopular thoughts from thyself: as a fan of football, it’s been amazing to watch Brady play. Its been fun hating him. Rooting against him was a blast. Beating him was ecstasy. To take anything away from him is, IMO, petty. The way my father talked about watching hall of famers from his time play, I will speak on Brady in my old age. “I was there. I witnessed it all. I was a part of that history.”
It obviously sucked. The rules seemed bent if not made for his benefit. The referees appeared to have been paid off from time to time. His greatness was our misery. And that’s why I have nothing but respect for our biggest foe, I think, of all time.
I will miss longing with extreme prejudice to pulverize his arse. I hope to meet him in the Super Bowl and whoop him in to retirement. Winning the conference and being the final steak through his heart was the way I hoped to have had ended him.
