I think he might actually be Gisele Bundchen in disguise.  Although even she probably doesn't love Brady as much as D4L does.

Right on cue, just useless rhetoric and garbage in response

D4L, you are arguing stuff that is inherently subjective.
Now, we all understand that this is opinion, but the weird thing is that your opinion almost always seems to fall on the side of Brady being unfairly wronged.

If this were coming from Hoodie, we would dismiss this as expected behavior and move on.  But coming from a self-proclaimed Dolphins fan, one begins to wonder why it is that your subjective analysis so frequently concludes that Actually The NFL Is Unfair To Tom Brady.

One man's useless rhetoric is another man's statement of the obvious.

Back on track...you were incorrect, that definitely should've been an offensive PI call.

I have explained why.  Perhaps you could explain why you believe he always gets the calls?

Being a fan means rooting for somebody.  I don't root for Brady.  Is that obvious enough for you?

What are you basing this on?  Last year's playoffs?   Because you are deluded if you are basing it on his career with new england.

Superstar players and the plays they are involved with tend to get the benefit of the doubt in a lot of cases.   Or sometimes even if there is no doubt.  And there was no doubt that Godwin committed OPI on that play.

Sunstroke and artichoke both say it is a flag.

Phish says no flag

Dave and fyo are undecided

I cannot decide either.

Btw I want to state my view on Brady and Marino once and for all. I think Marino had better quarterback skills than Brady.  However, Tom Brady is better at making his teammates play better (and his opponents play worse).  Therefore, I would take Brady over Marino even I believe Marino is a better quarterback

A lot of truth in your statement.  Different sport, but same principle.  Pete Rose had the smallest strike zone of any batter in the major leagues.  He was notorious for wearing down umpires complaining about their balls/strikes calling and he was also arguably the most popular player in the league during the glory years of the Big Red Machine.  So his strike zone was about from the bottom of his belt buckle to the top of his belt buckle.   So umpires were always hesitant to call strikes on him.

So because of that we automatically assume Brady gets all the calls?  We disregard the mountain of evidence otherwise?

I still want somebody to explain to me how analyzing calls and the results of that analysis has anything to do with who I root for.

Not all the calls, but a lot of them.   Same deal when I watched Michael Jordan play.   A lot of times, it was clear the defender had planted his feet and Jordan was dead guilty of charging, but the foul would go on the defender for blocking.

I don't click on any of the links you post, so I would've never known.
