Boston Columnist Blames Tom Brady, Compares 3-Time Super Bowl Champion To Jim Kelly
Meet Eric Wilbur of the Boston Globe. He is a columnist and a Boston-trolling columnist at that. After his (assumed) beloved Patriots lost to the Giants tonight, he trolled quickly and effectively. The column’s title is “Not so safety call: Blame Brady for this one.” It is everything you could ever hope for.
Here is my humble attempt to FJM Wilbur. I apologize to the geniuses behind Fire Joe Morgan. From The Boston Globe:
The legend is dead, the prince has turned back into a frog, and…well, use whatever other cliché you want.
Is “the legend is dead” a cliche?
A performance as bad as Tom Brady’s tonight in Super Bowl XLVI deserves a lead just as lame.
False. Nothing deserves a lead that lame.
Sorry, Tommy Boy, this one’s on you. Your hideous performance led to the Giants’ 21-17 Super Bowl title win. How embarrassing for your coach, your teammates, and your fans.
27-41, 276 yards, 2 TDs, 1 pick. Worst performance of all time. They were warming up Hoyer after the “shoulder injury” acted up. Should have just put him in the freakin’ game.
But especially for you, boy wonder. It was one thing when you led the game off with a safety, which surely put plenty of faith into the heart of Patriot Nation, but just when you have the game, just when you might be able to run off the clock, you huck the thing downfield.
Howah day-eh you not put faith into owe-ah hahts? Gawd damn you boy wondah! How day-eh you!
What happened to you?
You used to be so freakin’ awesome!
What an embarrassment for the Patriots organization and Bob Kraft.
Brady practically killed his wife!
So now the Giants have taken Lombardi from you twice, and you haven’t looked this bad in a playoff game since…well, two weeks ago against the Ravens.
The Patriots would have won if Joe Flacco was their quarterback. That is science!
Maybe that moment will actually hit you as you’re whittling down water slides in South America looking like Prince Valiant this spring.
The fact that Brady isn’t going to spend the off season in a living room with the shades drawn disgusts me too.
The Patriots haven’t won a title in seven years, but even worse, they’re now turning into the Buffalo Bills, with the Giants being their Cowboy daddy.
All of the things in that sentence are amazing. SEVEN YEARS WITHOUT A TITLE! ESPN might take away the TITLETOWN, USA moniker! How entitled can a fucking columnist be?
That’s not easy to swallow in a region where New York is regarded as highly as the menu at Beacon Hill Pub
This is a reference that townies will understand. Ben Affleck is nodding quietly.
But, there you are, Tom. That’s what you have become. Your legacy has been stamped, but you’re turning your Joe Montana status into one of Jim Kelly.
Boom. After winning THREE Super Bowls in New England and becoming a deity, he is now becoming Jim Kelly. Which, considering Kelly is a Hall of Fame quarterback, must be a compliment… wait what!? Kelly lost some Super Bowls? Never mind! Tom Brady will never win the big one! He is a loser!
But, hey what you worry? There’s that new mansion in the “Names” pages to deal with.
He has a new house, but he probably should have been nursing Gronk’s ankle to health.
Yes, there were plenty of dropped passes to go around. Granted.
Oh. So we’re going to blame someone besides Brady. What with the missed passes and such. That’s generous.
But when you begin the game with such a boneheaded play, then proceed to make random mistakes, sorry, Tom, game is on you.
Never mind! Forget the drops! Those were on Brady too! The championships were the flukes!
Welker was the closest thing to Asante, and the eeriness compared to the Tyree play will be discussed for decades to come.
We’re discussing it hours later so this discussion will obviously live on at Cheers and the Beacon Hill Pub!
Tom, it’s not all your fault, but you’re the poster boy
The title of this column confuses me.
you had opportunities, and you failed to make them. Add to that your blunders, and it all becomes about you. You blew this Super Bowl. You denied your coach No. 4. You let down your teammates.
There you have it. Brady didn’t make his opportunities. You blew it. Pathetic. Tom Brady sucks. Trade that bum.
Eli and Peyton now have as many rings as you combined over the past five years. You haven’t sniffed one in seven. How’s that hit you?
First of all – Tom Brady has sniffed plenty in seven. As for combining rings that’s not fair. Watch: “Ronde and Tiki have won more rings combined than Dan Marino in the last fifty years.” Not fair.
Maybe it doesn’t hit you as hard anymore, and maybe that’s the problem.
You heard it here first – Tom Brady doesn’t fucking care about football. He obviously only comes for the super fun photo shoots.
The safety killed the Patriots. Killed them.
And there’s nobody to blame but Tom Brady.
I mean, the line could have held the blocks a little longer and a reciever could have gotten open on his initial route, but seriously… Fuck Tom Brady.
However hard it might be to swallow, the glory days are gone. Even Montana handed off to Mallett at some point, right?
Is this guy suggesting that Tom Brady relinquish the Patriots starting job to Ryan Mallett? Honest question. Otherwise, I don’t get the reference. I’ll end this by pointing out that Tom Brady has won three freaking Super Bowls. He’s been the Super Bowl MVP twice. TWICE! Before Tom Brady was the Patriots quarterback they won zero (0) championships. Yet here we find a Boston columnist blasting New England’s GOAT. It’s sad. And Wilbur will obviously become much more famous than he was before. I’m taking notes. Tune in tomorrow to hear how many more titles the Giants would win if Eli was Tiki Barber.

Bravo
What an ass goblin. This is (part) of the reason the rest of America hates you Boston. Enough with the woe is me crap. Can’t play that card anymore. And nobody deserves to be compared to the bills.

Beyond that article being stupid…you can do A LOT worse than be Jim Kelly
February 6th, 2012 at 1:23 AM
Didn’t he set a record for consecutive completions during this game? He played a lot better this game than he did during their first Super Bowl win when he threw for five yards a pop and his team scored one offensive TD. He was named MVP after that one. I bet this dude doesn’t believe half of what he’s written here, but he’s going to get a ton of attention for writing it. Sad.

Meh, fuck it….. NY 21, NE 17. I may or may have not called that in the super bowl prediction thread (called it). Fuck it. Eli is great, still not Peyton but Archie has the sperm of Zeus.

I’ve been a Pats fan since the late 70s, and this is the single worst piece of “writing” (I’m being generous) that I’ve ever read about the team or one of their games. And there’s not even a close second.
This is why the rest of American sports fans think you’re provincial hacks, Boston media.
Look, I was pissed about the way the game went, too. But to blame Brady–or any single occurrence–for the loss is beyond idiotic. I know this columnist is angling for “most overstated reaction to the game” and the attention that brings, but I’d rather be an obscure, unknown columnist than be pointed to by the rest of the country as the poster boy for self-entitled douchebags with no perspective.

This is one of those losses that will eat at Pats fans for a while, lots of chances to win and they didnt take advantage of any of them. Tommy wasnt great (and outside of 2 drives wasnt really even good), but there is plenty of blame to go around.
Giants put the ball on the ground 3 times and you got none (bad, bad 12 men penalty Genius Bill). Offsides kept a big drive going. Welkah would have been a tough catch, but still should have made it.
February 6th, 2012 at 7:28 AM
The lesson in all this: Boston sports writers feed themselves by stirring up the misery of their readership.
And sadly, the fans are all too eager to believe this crap!
February 6th, 2012 at 7:42 AM
Hey there, Pats fans. You thought you could get rid of me, but you can’t.
February 6th, 2012 at 8:00 AM
And so it begins..
February 6th, 2012 at 8:04 AM
Yeah, disregard the fact that they made it to the game which is really fucking hard.
February 6th, 2012 at 8:04 AM
No.
February 6th, 2012 at 8:05 AM
The previous comments sum it up for me. What an entitled idiot.
February 6th, 2012 at 8:10 AM
Does coop think that belichick drew up a defense with 12 guys on the field?
February 6th, 2012 at 8:14 AM
Maybe those chicks from Fear Factor and drink that for one of their challenges???
I’m gonna have to say Tom choked in the 4th Q on this one. That jump ball he heaved towards the endzone for Gronk?? Bad decision. He looked like shit after that series.
/cries in his Wheaties cause he took NE -3 and the under. dammit.
February 6th, 2012 at 8:29 AM
Some people have this mentality that going 3-0 in super bowls is better than going 3-2. Like it’s better to not get there than to get there and lose it. I cant stand Tawmy Boy but what he did this year just to get there, with 2 tight ends and a slot receiver was incredible.
February 6th, 2012 at 9:48 AM
Brady actually accomplished quite a bit with a very mediocre team. This Patriot team is simply not that good.
February 6th, 2012 at 10:06 AM
That would make a great commenter name on this site

This is why the rest of American sports fans think you’re provincial hacks, Boston media.
Let me fix that for you …
