Tom Brady Rules The World

I guess there is some rule where the visiting team gets to use their own footballs. That's right, once again Tom Brady is master of all and got this rule in place.



Colts | Manning says football rule Brady's idea
Thu, 22 Jun 2006 21:35:36 -0700

John Oehser, of Colts.com, reports Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning is not taking credit for the new NFL rule that allows teams to use their own footballs during road games. Manning and New England Patriots QB Tom Brady attempted to make calls to every quarterback in the league to help get the rule changed, "It was Tom Brady's idea." Manning did not want to see a missed pass in a game because of a bad football.

I don't see a problem with a rule like this unless the some teams start coating the ball with stick 'um or something like that.

the alternate title for this thread was

"St. Cronin is a sexay beast."

I went with Tom Brady in the title though because he rules.

Good to see that Manning is still not trying to take any credit for anything. First he throws his Offensive Line under the bus, then Tom Brady. I can not wait to see who is next. How about a kid in a wheel chair, Peyton...

Um... by most accounts this is a great rule change. Manning had received credit for the idea and the campaign that got it changed and has defered the credit to Brady. How exactly is he throwing anyone under the bus on this one?

You know, I can kind of understand guys doing this sort of thing in prison to survive, but to do it voluntarily on the outside is just kind of sad.

OK, now I get it.

stcronin hearts Tom Brady.

adding to make sure I'm not coming off like a dick. It's a free country; one can heart anybody they want. Me, I heart Joey Porter.
