Why am I earwormed with a Black Eyed Peas song? What did I do to deserve this?
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

I don't hate Tom Brady. Feels like he's been the Superbowl quarterback forever though. It's like every Superbowl analysis comes down to 'Will Tom Brady feel like throwing a bunch of touchdowns, or will he can't be bothered?'

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As an entirely non-football person, I have to ask -- why does everyone hate Tom Brady?
What he looks like, how much he wins, and his general lifestyle, I think. I mean, he doesn't eat nightshades because he thinks they aren't healthy enough.
He's the second-oldest person in the NFL, I think I heard, so he can't be around much longer.

Our wings are not tired.
My Brady hatred may be irrational and unjustified, but it doesn't matter one bit to him so I harbor it anyway. He is everything I disliked about the popular super jocks in HS. Probably a cheating cheater and lying liar, full of himself, arrogant, just rubs me the wrong way. Then there is the relationship to Belichick, who I also dislike, and their love for Trump is just icing on the hate cake.

I still tend to regard him as the untried kid who suddenly got thrust into the spotlight b/c I just don't think about him enough to update my mental image.

Somehow, the Riverdale teens being supposed sophomores pings me as even more absurd than 90210 Luke Perry. Not sure why.
I think for me, it might be that I was in middle school when 90210 was on, so the characters were all supposed to be older than me anyway? (I mean, not 20 YEARS older, like the actors were, but occupying the same general "basically adults I guess" place in my brain.)

Yeah, I used to like Brady, but first there was Spygate, then Deflategate, then it looking like Brady was going to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court to get his suspension dropped. It feels like entitlementjust radiates off him in waves.

The Trump affiliation doesn't help either. (Though I say as a hater I think he got shafted in Deflategate.)

If you're looking for a favorite Patriot, may I suggest Martellus Bennett? He said he won't go to Trump's White House and also buys books for kids: [link]
