There are a lot of TB haters out there but I actually think it's more pointed at their hate for Belichick and the Patriots. For the most part, most fans agree that TB is a class act - even our college rivals. But there are always going to be haters and of course they're always going to find excuses to hate TB.

I love the Patriots. Not unlikeable. Not detestable at all. But we've all seen how sustained excellence creates tons of haters, that's for sure. If you research all of their so-called cheating escapades, you'll find they were hollow. The best was when Tom Brady stuck it in Goodell's face after "deflategate" with a Super Bowl win. But I guess if you find 78-year old billionaire widowers paying someone to jerk them off morally offensive, then you have your reason to hate.

For UM fans and alums from the state of Michigan, thank God the Patriots have been around to fill the void that the Lions and even our own beloved Wolverines have created over the past two decades.

That said, when Brady retires I'll probably go back to watching the Lions comedy hour or nothing at all.

Most of the hate is probably directed towards Belichek and Kraft (especially Kraft, these days), I'm sure there are still plenty of Brady haters out there. 

-Won as many Super Bowls, or more, as every franchise has individually throughout its history. 

-Married to someone who many see as one of the most beautiful women on the planet. 

-Has more money than he could spend in ten lifetimes

-Already plays for a city/region of America that is notorious for having overly arrogant, often obnoxious fans who like to remind you how much better their team is than your's.

Darn!  I thought there was going to be another video of a wolverine carrying a severed goat's head down a forest trail.

Love me some Tom Brady, though.  His finger trophies don't come close to his trophy wife, however.  In fact, he may just be her trophy husband.

Mutual trophies!

I know this has been covered, but has anyone ever had a run like Tom Brady and the Patriots?  Nine superbowls in 18 years as a starter with a 6-3 record.  (and he was hurt and not playing at least one of those years.)

Tom Brady is one of the greatest football players in NFL history.  But I haven't found him particularly compelling a person off the field, which is fine.  But to act like everyone who seemingly disagrees with his deification as a "hater" is also stupid.

Wow!  I never understood why Brady has so many haters.  He is a great guy, and one of the biggest winners of all time.  He absolutely maximizes his own talent and inspires his teammates to do the same.

The world is full of haters and jealous losers....

He's running out of digits to put all his Super Bowl rings on.

Eventually Ms Bundchen is going to have to put one on his schlong.

Just watched a YouTube video of Rob Parker claiming that it was over for Tom Brady and that he would never win another Superbowl this was 2012 he then doubled down a few years later and then again and again and just like Rob Parker is known for he continues to be wrong
