if you can't take a little criticism you don't deserve to be making millions of dollars a year

Preseason is meaningless. =\


On a different note, Week 2 will be extremely exciting. I can't wait for Sunday.

I really don't know why everyone dislikes Tom Brady.

People forget that he himself was an underdog story, very late draft pick, backup to Drew Bledsoe, would anyone believe that he would become what he is now?

I can't think of any scandals that involved Brady, or any acts which affect his character negatively. (correct me if I am wrong)

He even took a pay cut so the Pats could get Moss. I've never heard of another star player being less greedy. [source]

he got somebody well-known pregnant and then left her for somebody a little more well-known, and arguably a little more pretty, depending on taste.

giants had absolutely no momentum last season until the playoffs. They went 1-3 in the preseason
Bears went 3-1 in the preseason, that momentum helped them a lot in the regular season!
The falcons went 3-1 as well! awesome indicators

here's what really matters

I definitely laughed when I heard the Rams comment. It's true. The Jessica Simpson comment irritated me, but I can't stand her... she's so stupid. I also HATE it when people refer to the team they like as "we". Apparently (judging by Mark Schlereth's [SP]) comments, the players don't like it either. On NFL Live today the first thing he said was "We? Who is we?" Then I think he went into how she doesn't get payed by Jerry Jones so she shouldn't refer to herself as part of the team.

All those things aside, I think it will be a good game this Monday. Romo is historically bad against the Eagles.

And Kimmel, you're fighting a losing argument. There are two things that preseason is good for 1) to see who needs to be cut (this doesn't affect starters), and 2) to get some rhythm/timing back. Hell, most people discount week 1 because starters don't play enough preseason games. Preseason is an absolutely worthless indicator of a team's skill level. Although I happen to like the Broncos chances overall against any teams passing game, I'm still questioning their ability to stop the run. They allowed 4.7yds/att last week, and that's about what they were giving up last year. Granted, that is distorted by the 48 or 54 yard, something like that, run that Fargas had. They did exactly what they did last year. They had a bunch of stops for one or two yards, or maybe less, but then they broke down and gave up a few huge runs. All they need to avoid is the mental mistakes that are allowing huge running plays and they'll be fine. I happen to think this D-coordinator is better than Bates, so I think they will get everything on track. Plus Williams moved back to weak side, where he belongs, and they added Boss Bailey, and two big DT's.



That doesn't change that it's seen as a negative.

But the Brady hate started way before that, and there are plenty of other beloved sports figures who have kids with other people.

He put himself in the spotlight so that he would one day be on the biggest stage his sport offers, and now he's crying because he can't handle the pressure he asked for? There's nothing to feel sorry for.

He was brought in, and paid millions of dollars to throw the football and make exciting plays. He failed to do that last week. Kerry Collins came in and did a better job. That's like saying you would have had less respect for Chargers fans when they booed Ryan Leaf. Vince Young need to appease the fans, the fans don't need to appease him.

He was drafted third overall three years ago to win games for the team, and bring them back to the Super Bowl. "Since 2006, no NFL quarterback with at least 500 attempts has a lower passer rating than Vince Young." That means, by any measurable statistic, Vince Young is the WORST QB in the league.
