Shorttynaz Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) When it happened, they showed the replay a few times. I think this was 100% intentional. I've seen some ugly slides (Peyton Manning had a few this season) but c'mon man. You don't slide with your leg 2 and a half feet in the air. And as his foot got closer to Reed's junk, his foot went up more, not down as it naturally would have. This was 100% intentional. There's a good shot of it here. Look at Brady's eyes - he's not only aiming for Reed's junk with his foot, his eyes are locked in on his target. These guys make is SO easy to root against them. http://cbssports.com...d_Bull_Crap.jpg http://www.washingto...bradyslide1.jpg Edited January 23, 2013 by Shorttynaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Animated GIF in this article that shows the slide. I agree it looks dirty, and frankly dangerous for himself, even if he was just trying to protect himself by sticking his foot up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thought the same thing when I saw it with the naked eye, no replays, slow mo or other angles needed. If this was Suh people would be calling for a lifetime ban, but Goldilocks can apparently do no wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 There is talk of moving Tom Brady to re-haul the Pats roster. This brings Ryan Mallet (not a fan) into the picture. Wow...I don't think this ever happens but it's something to talk about I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You think Kaep, Ryan or Flacco get away with that move in that situation? For every year they're in the league without a history of this, I'd say yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 that slide was total bs and not only did i think he was going to kick pollard's junk but i also thought he might tear up his knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope I said earlier I thought it was dirty, but was refuting that he's subject to a double standard as for league discipline (or rather that suh lost the benefit of the doubt most players (should) get) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, wasn't it pretty obvious? And didn't Brady apologize publicly? Oh, and he's lucky he didn't blow his knee out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Since you have to get written permission to hit a qb these days I guess he was feeling his oats. In the old days the following play would have resulted in him missing a few pretty teeth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHook Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 If it had been Pollard, I'd have understood more. After all, Pollard blew out Brady's knee and busted up Gronk's ankle. I'd be scared of him too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and he's lucky he didn't blow his knee out. I'm sure some Pats fans would argue it wasn't intentional. The refs obviously thought it wasn't intentinoal since there was no penalty. Would have served him right if he blew out his knee. Hadn't heard about the apology, but found it here which also says that the NFL is taking a look at "Any play of that nature is routinely reviewed," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the AP. PS I was mostly having fun with the Suh part before, just that to me this looked more intentional, yet I wasn't hearing much about it. Where with Suh it was an immediate clamor to punish him. (Yes I understand his past history of dirty play has made him a target and he lost the benefit of doubt.)

detlef Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I don't see the point of perpetuating rumors that have 0% chance of ever happening. Yep, just for the hell of it, I googled "Tom Brady trade rumors". Nothing at all. Discussions about whether or not they'd resign Welker and Brady getting his back was the only thing close. Nothing, nada. Oh, and the Pats are like 18 million under the cap, so it's not as if they'd even be in a position where they'd need to. Taz? Where was this "talk" you heard of? At some bar?

I saw a couple of articles asking if anyone would trade Brady for a chance at Andrew Luck or RG III back in April, but that was it.

I'm pretty sure the answer was a resounding "WT F are you thinking?" I saw some discussions from back in 2009 too, including a of some analysts talking about it. This was after Cassell took over the year Brady was injured. Warren Moon was the one who was bringing up the point. But yeah, now, no way no reason, no how.
