This article seems like a stretch, as if CBS sports were
trying to rile up a media frenzy that didn’t happen. If this article was three
pages long, I would have been thoroughly annoyed that I wasted my time reading
it, but since it was four hundred words I couldn’t be bothered. I don’t really
see what else Brady would say at a pep rally. If he said something the least
bit negative, the media would jump all over it too. His comment was not the
least bit inappropriate and the editor who let the story run should be
receiving the brunt of this grief, not Brady. Even the competitors who I am
sure have had their fair share of concussions can tell the difference between
motivational and distasteful comments. At least the Giants did not jump on this
story and retaliate because that would have been an even bigger mess. Playing
football as a career is a privilege and making it to the super bowl is an even
bigger one. The media’s ability to potentially ruin that for a player by misinterpreting
a harmless comment is pretty ludicrous. I am not sure what else to say other
then this article is very, very idiotic.
Avery, this reading was pretty ridiculous. There was no point in writing this article; I think that the editor just needed something to be published, and fast. Tom Brady did not say anything that would have offended anybody on a normal daily basis but since the media made uproar out of it, people said things. I am pretty sure that the people that were interviewed did not care that Brady said what he had. I am very happy that is article was not much longer, I probably would have stopped reading since it was such a waste of my time. There was no reason for this article to be published.
