I must admit that I was thinking along these lines as well ... that this greedy little attention whore is so self-absorbed that he had to make it known that Randy Moss was going to kick his little DB ass, as if no one else knew it was coming. lol :rolleyes:
He makes his little quote about well done trumping well said, and then hides behind his thugs. I was hoping James Harrison would take a swipe at him. I know I probably would have. :glare:
Tom Brady gets knickers in bunch (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/2007/12/11/2007-12-11_tom_brady_gets_knickers_in_bunch.html)

As the Jets take that lonely walk to the electric chair, er, prepare to face undefeated New England this Sunday, one question remains: Will the media spend more time making fun of Eric Mangini's crew or kissing Tom Brady's butt?
The predictable Keith Olbermann set the tone Sunday night on NBC's "Football Night In America," saying: "There's late news from the Patriots. Next week the Pats cheerleaders will face the Jets rather than the team itself."
Olbermann must be writing Tiki Barber's material, too. Barber sounded like a Brady groupie, gushing: "The greatest thing about Tom Brady is he has the confidence in himself."
Blah. Blah. Blah. Is this all we have to look forward to? Counting kudos. That, and rehashing how SpyGate should not taint the accomplishments of the Patriots and Bill (CIA) Belichick? Maybe not.
One mouth ain't dropping to his knees and genuflecting - ESPN's Mike Ditka. Shortly after New England whipped Pittsburgh, Ditka was on "SportsCenter" trashing Brady, basically calling him a thin-skinned jerk, for getting in the face of Steelers safety Anthony Smith (last week he "guaranteed" a Pittsburgh win) after hitting Randy Moss with a 4-yard TD pass.
Ditka, never known for concealing anger, wondered if "Johnny Unitas" or "Bart Starr" would react to comments voiced by a backup player with just two years in the league. Brady, Ditka said, has a severe case of "rabbit ears."
"Don't worry about the opponent, and what he said, because what he (Smith) said, he's got to back (it) up," Ditka explained. "That kid had no ability to back it up. Brady should have brushed it off as nothing.
"So," Ditka continued, "(for Brady) to take it to another degree, to acknowledge it, you're just as wrong as him."
See, in Ditka's world, a flawless season cannot cover up the character flaws of the quarterback engineering it.
