Tom Brady Crying Video … Spliced With Pia’s Elimination From American Idol
All, NFL, Reality Television, Video April 12th. 2011, 10:45am
Tom Brady filmed some NFL draft documentary for ESPN (airing tonight!) and in it he tears up when talking about his slide to the 6th round in 2000. The guys at Tauntr had the idea to splice the video of Brady crying with Pia’s elimination from American Idol, and the result was the most brilliant Tom Brady video since his dancing at Carnival.

Weak, TBL.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:47 AM
I’ll defer to the honorable Stephen Douglas on this one
@CRM_Stephen Brady still cries when he thinks about tumbling into the most perfect situation. If only the Raiders or Seahawks had selected him earlier.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:48 AM
You were picked in the 6th round? Oh you poor man. You poor man who’s worth millions of dollars, is married to a Brazilian supermodel, and causes the panties of women all over New England get soaked at your very appearance.
If those things haven’t pushed your ego up and over the humiliation of being drafted in the 6th round, then fuck you.
Funny video though.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:51 AM
When Michael Jordan uses the slightest of slights for motivation, he’s a cutthroat competitor. When Tom Brady continues to use the largest of slights, years on, after much success, he’s a pussy.
Funny how that works.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:52 AM
Damn shame when a system QB gets all big-headed and thinks the world owes him something.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:52 AM
Wow, high five bsanders.

Getting drafted in the 6th round of the NFL draft–he was still DRAFTED–is worse than getting cut from your high school basketball team?
April 12th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
Vomit inducing. Seriously, crying that you got drafted in the 6th round?
If only he had a secret camera in the other teams war rooms, maybe he would have been able to gain the upper hand and get drafted earlier.

April 12th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
So it’s the most brilliant video…since the last one?
April 12th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
Shit, I’m no Pats fan, but I thought that interview was riveting. It’s crazy how these guys are wired.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
I also don’t recall Jordan ever crying about his slight for an ESPN documentary. But that could be nitpicking…
April 12th, 2011 at 10:54 AM
That’s not what happened. What happened was, contrary to urban legend, he wasn’t promoted to the varsity team ahead of upperclassmen when he was an underclassmen. He was a late bloomer, physically speaking. The horror.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:54 AM
Didn’t Jordan get cut as a sophomore? It’s not like it was his senior year.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:55 AM
That’s not what happened. What happened was, contrary to urban legend, he wasn’t promoted to the varsity team ahead of upperclassmen when he was an underclassmen. He was a late bloomer, physically speaking. The horror.
Fair enough, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a valid comparison.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:55 AM
Yeah, he just pettily eviscerated Bryon Russell for no reason at his own hall of fame induction. Much better.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:55 AM
yep and…
yep.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:55 AM
BSanders gets it.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Yeah, Jordan cried because his murdered Dad couldn’t celebrate a title with him on Fathers Day, not because he wasn’t able to take his talents to Detroit.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Yeah, he just pettily eviscerated Bryon Russell for no reason at his own hall of fame induction. Much better.
Touché.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:56 AM
He’s probably laughing at that video after banging his super model wife in a pile of money that would embarrass the King of Zmunda.
I don’t get the Brady hate. I understand hating Belichick (even though I admire him as a coach), but I don’t understand the Brady hate.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Even if the getting cut part were true – yeah I’d have to say that the NFL draft is in fact a bigger deal than high school sports. Geesh.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:56 AM
There is a lot of scrutiny of Sanders’ comparisons the last couple days.

April 12th, 2011 at 10:58 AM
I don’t want to pile on, because I like ms, but the minute that Brady is complecent about who he is in life and what he’s doing, is the last minute I want him leading my team.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:59 AM
You’re right, but let’s not pretend getting drafted in the 6th round, especially as a QB, is your ticket to Canton. I’m sure there is a numbers guy around here to tell you what the chances are of sticking in the NFL as a 6th round pick. I’d bet the chances aren’t that great.
April 12th, 2011 at 10:59 AM
So glad I’m back.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:00 AM
Yeah, Jordan cried because his murdered Dad couldn’t celebrate a title with him on Fathers Day, not because he wasn’t able to take his talents to Detroit.
All Jordan had to do was pay his father’s gambling debts and it wouldn’t have been an issue.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:00 AM
They’re both fucking faggots, so there you go.
/fuck them
April 12th, 2011 at 11:00 AM
while i share sanders’ opinion, i like brady’s emotion…you can tell he still uses that as motivation even today. i love shit like that…i can’t do this? well fuck you.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:01 AM
Now that’s seperating yourself from the pack.
Well done.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:01 AM
I think THIS sums it up.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:01 AM
I haven’t read the comments, but I’ll start by saying I love Tom Brady, and I think he’s a fucking badass. I didn’t in the early years, but I was wrong. That guy is a badass.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:02 AM
I don’t throw this word around lightly – what. an. asshole.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:02 AM
I don’t want to pile on, because I like ms, but the minute that Brady is complecent about who he is in life and what he’s doing, is the last minute I want him leading my team.
I don’t even know why I engaged…I don’t really care about this. I do think it’s silly that he reverted to tears, but I certainly do not doubt his competitive nature.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:02 AM
I get using it as motivation but the crying is a bit much…Aaron Rodgers’ little tumble might not have been as far but it was still on ESPN for four hours showing him squirming (the commissioner didn’t show him the same pity they gave Brady Quinn the following year) and he seems to hold it together in interviews when asked about it
April 12th, 2011 at 11:02 AM
Sometimes in life, you dislike a person for no reason whatsoever. You see someone walking out the door and you immediately say “Fuck that guy” without the need to say it in 1000 words.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:03 AM
that’s because aaron rodgers is a honey badger and honey badger doesn’t give a shit.
/i find old memes funnah
April 12th, 2011 at 11:04 AM
now that I’ve read the comments, I realize I stand with Cap Rooney (and I guess Spencer).
In the Michael Jordan thing, he was good enough to play varsity, there just wasn’t a spot on the roster without cutting a senior, and the coach found a way to let them both play.
It’s not like MJ had to go play chess team as a sophomore in high school.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:04 AM
And he was pretty summarily ripped for that speech. How does that fit into your “Jordan gets loved/Brady gets dogged” narrative?
April 12th, 2011 at 11:04 AM
I’m on this train. In the early years I thought he got a bit too much credit for the Pats’ success, but in the years since as the defense and players around him have evolved he’s been the constant and carried that team. He’s a killer.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:05 AM
Crying? So fucking weak.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:06 AM
I’m pretty sure it still pisses him off, wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted to play in the NFC West someday just to deep dick the 49ers twice a year
April 12th, 2011 at 11:06 AM
He is Belichick’s Cererus. Fuck that tuck rule making, referee bitching, California fagging, Michigan alumning, “OH SOMEONE INJURED ME SO WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE RULES” piece of shit.
Peyton > Mr. Bundhcen 4eva.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:07 AM
I think the line about him being ecstatic he didnt have to be an insurance salesman is hilarious.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:07 AM
I never said he wasn’t. That was a response to this:
All I was saying is that, like Brady, he hangs on to things and isn’t immune to making that publicly known. But carry on with your instigation.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:07 AM
And he was pretty summarily ripped for that speech.
did you rip him for it? I thought it was vintage Jordan. I thought it was great.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:07 AM
yessir.
tho i vaguely remember a monday night game (i think against the raiders? not sure) the year after the pats’ first super bowl where they threw something like 35 times in the first half and brady was just killin it. you could see then that he needed time to mature, but holy shit i remember some sick, sick throws that night.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:07 AM
You had me at California fagging.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:08 AM
I am too.
/blows the rest of the Dandelion fuzz away
April 12th, 2011 at 11:08 AM
He went to Michigan, he constantly tears my team a new A-hole, his hair is stupid and his wife looks like a horse. Whats so hard to understand? I can respect someones ability while disliking them.
The crying is over the top, come on. He wasn’t waiting on cancer results, he was hoping to get a job and had to wait to hear if he got it, THE HORROR.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:08 AM
“OH SOMEONE INJURED ME SO WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE RULES” piece of shit.
of all the rule changes to complain about, the disallowing of a defender from intentionally crashing into the plant let of a throwing QB really shouldn’t be your tipping point.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:09 AM
Not me. But I also don’t give a shit about this Brady thing, either.
/apathetic about most things

I would describe myself as apoplectic about most things.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:11 AM
Which one cried on camera about it?
April 12th, 2011 at 11:11 AM
I think that was the home opener against the Steelers, when Pit went up against 110 pass attempts in the first 2 games. That Sunday night game against Rich Gannon was a nightmare to attend. I think he threw 42 passes in the 1st half. 2002 was the weirdest Steeler team I’ve ever seen.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:11 AM
You stole that from Simmons.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:11 AM
I just love how Carson Palmer, the real poster boy for the rule changes involving QB protection, is immune from criticism.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:12 AM
Can’t you let me blindly assign blame to my enemies in peace, please?
just admit he’s a badass. You know he’s a badass, and you know how much you hate that perfect 5 yard extra wide out that he throws better than everbody.
I don’t root for them, but I’ll admit he’s a badass.
I don’t root for your squad, but I have always said how much I like Rex Ryan. And if the QB continues to get better, I’ll say he’s good if he eventually becomes good.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:12 AM
Ehhh, besides being a Trojan, I got no real beef with him.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:12 AM
Brady is good but I certainly could do without these tantrums on the field.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:12 AM
That’s only because people aren’t able to slip that in amongst all their other criticisms of the current state of his playing abilities
April 12th, 2011 at 11:13 AM
Which one cried on camera about it?
Catch up SC, we’ve covered this ground.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:13 AM
You stole that from Simmons.
you stole “stole that from simmons” from south park who originally coined it was “simpsons did it.”
April 12th, 2011 at 11:13 AM
Nobody cares about him because he hasn’t done anything.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:13 AM
to be fair, carson palmer sucks and nobody pays attention to him.
did you know he’s gonna retire? no? probably because nobody gives a shit about carson palmer.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:13 AM
I’ll agree with that, but the crying bit may have been over the top is all. Go with anger and you’d have something different
April 12th, 2011 at 11:13 AM

It needed to be restated because that comparison was pretty stupid. If anyone knows stupid, it’s me.

now THAT’S bullshit motivation. 5-star, no. 1 overall recruits who play for florida football powerhouses, play for florida and set all sorts of records as a sophomore and get drafted in the 1st round should be totally barred from playing the “nobody belives in me” card.
just play the prodigy role and move on, tim.

And we can all thank Kimo von Oelhoffen for that.

don’t think anyone ever called Brady a pussy. except maybe for all his lobbying of refs for flags.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:16 AM
No. Slapping the ground towards the ref asking for a flag is.

April 12th, 2011 at 11:19 AM
Pretty sure he’s being ridiculed or called a pussy because he cried on a SportsCenter spot not because he used getting drafted in the 6th round as a motivational ploy.
It was a dumb comparison.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:19 AM
Because Jordan (or any other superstar for that matter) never, and I mean NEVER bitched at the officials about getting a call.

Two superstar athletes who hang on to long-ago slights and use them as motivation long after they’ve achieved remarkable success. Seems pretty similar. One’s more emotional than the other. Hey, I grew up a Bulls fan, too. It’s okay to compare your heroes to Tom Brady.

Right, but this isn’t why he’s being ridiculed is it?
This is. Which is why this:
Didn’t make sense. He’s being ridiculed for the crying, not the motivational tactic. We’re arguing about semantics again which I’m sorry doesn’t add anything to the conversation.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:30 AM
Fair enough.
Sanders makes a comparison, gets attacked for it and defends himself (for the 2nd time in as many days). Yes, he truly thinks he’s above the plebians commentariat now.
April 12th, 2011 at 11:31 AM
Can’t we just agree they’re both faggots. Gawd, Brady and Jordan ruin fucking everything.

April 12th, 2011 at 11:33 AM
To be fair, if anyone but me had made that comment, you wouldn’t have had a reaction. He also called me “the worst” so I believe he thinks he’s better than the worst.

Brady’s parents were being supportive on what was probably one of his worst days. Don’t see anything wrong with getting emotional about it. It likely has a lot more to do with his relationship with his parents than anything else.
Bottom line is he’d busted his ass just to get a shot at becoming an NFL QB….and he was watching the whole thing slip away.
Funniest past was he and his Dad’s disbelief that Spurgeon Wynn, with his 47% completion rate and 12 TD’s /13 INT’s, went ahead of him.
