Tom Brady takes shot at Roger Goodell in pre-taped commercial
Mods feel free to delete if there's too many Brady threads already. Not sure if I missed this, or if it was just a regional commercial, but the not-so-subtle shot is great.

Oh pffffttt. Like their blameless. Punk-ass patriots fans acting like their vindicated and the 4 game ban was a freakin' crime against humanity.
Cheatin' ass Pats never really got punished for spying on opponents practices for years, shutting off coaches' headsets at crucial times and God knows what else. They got away with it because the NFL destroyed evidence of this shit like it was the goddamned Nixon White House.
Yeah, you really stuck it to Goodell.

Step away from the crime dramas.

I don't watch GoT so I don't know if this is a good Tom Brady or a bad Tom Brady thing.
I think this is a good Tom Brady thing since I have seen this will Harbaugh. If not I am sorry.

Epic!

It's floating around the interwebs. The alternate leaves it at just the 4 rings and he makes some comment about needing a bigger locker soon, or it won't be long, or something like that.
February 6th, 2017 at 8:23 AM ^
If he lost, that video would be sitting in Ace's "Hello" post graveyard next to Najee and Wilson.

It's very common in the military.
And I will never again hear it and not think of this. Thank you Tom.

This incident is now officially over.
February 6th, 2017 at 8:28 AM ^
Brady just absolutely refused to lose. It could've been 45-3 and they still would've had a chance to win.
Against any other QB, when the Falcons are up 28-3 that game is long over and probably only gets worse. While I'm not necessarily a Pats fan, I'm a Brady fan. And watching him get to hoist that fifth trophy after Goodell essentially gets booed off the stage was nothing short of beautiful.
Enjoy him while you can, Pats fans. While I know Brady wants to play at least a few more years, Father Time is undefeated, and everyone plays their last game at some point.

I wonder how smart Belichick will look as a coach without Brady in there? Brady makes a lot of decisions look like genius, even if they are just ordinary decisions.
I know one thing, when Brady is gone, NE will have to get some real receivers. Only Brady is able to get the ball in the 3-inch window of separation that his current receivers are able to get.
February 6th, 2017 at 9:39 AM ^
February 6th, 2017 at 10:00 AM ^
my guess is that Belichek will retire when Brady does.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:23 AM ^
Smart, smart man.
February 6th, 2017 at 11:33 AM ^
To Jordan / Phil Jackson relationship. Phil Jackson could do no wrong when he had Jordan out there making the plays. Once Phil lost Jordan (and Kobe) he suddenly became far more mortal.
Jackson and Belichick are very comparable. Good coaches that were fortunate to be blessed with GOATS......
February 6th, 2017 at 1:28 PM ^
with Amendola's and Edelman's if I could. Throw in a Gronkowski for good measure. All day any day those guys are elite.

The one thing I will say is that I was hoping Goodell would at least enact that David Stern "Come at me" approach to the whole idea of being viciously but righteously booed and see how Patriots fans would have responded. He's still a POS, but it probably would have made the moment that much more awkward and therefore entertaining. Instead, he looked visibly uncomfortable and wanted nothing more than to be done, from what I saw.
I guess I think it's time that Roger Goodell simply admitted and grew comfortable with being a waste of space, a mealy-mouthed wasted of space.
February 6th, 2017 at 10:57 AM ^
Maybe in a response? Not sure. But anyway, someone posted "Roger Goodell just broke Usain Bolt's land speed record."
February 6th, 2017 at 11:52 AM ^
I'm no fan of David Stern, but he at least did things to grow his league, for better or for worse.
Goodell took over a cash cow and rather than try to right the things that were wrong, like violent player conduct against women, or improving health benefits for retired players suffering from neurological injury; he just acted the puppet for jealous owners and tried to bring down the league's best run franchise over inflation pressure on footballs.
Goodell is a spineless asshole, who's accomplished nothing for the league, and seeing him have to stand up there and hand the Tom Brady and the Patriots the trophy was glorious.
February 6th, 2017 at 12:50 PM ^
your criticism of Goodell as a weasel when it comes to policing the league as its chief law enforcement officer and seeking complete power and authority in that regard, but I would dispute the notion that he hasn't done anything but control a cash-cow. In fact, Goodell is well-liked by all team owners precisely because he and his administration have exponentially increased the image and the league's bottom line during his tenure.
Consider for example how NFL game highlights used to be routinely available for public consumption and generic use after every game or how even organic enterprises related to teams and players were never subject to league branding and monetising efforts.
Under Goodell all that has changed. During Goodell's reign, the NFL has monetized every iota of its enterprise, creating the NFL Network to expand cable and online exposure and then monetize it all so that now the league is practically a year-round venture of corporate enterprise and outreach on a par by itself. It continues to push a presence for the game overseas to build a world market and SB ad rates continue to rise, that place the league's biggest game on a pedestal that no others compete with.
And the irony of the magnitude of corporate creep into the selling and marketing of the game is that no team in the NFL can be corporately owned except the Green Bay Packers. And why? Because of the league charter that forbids it.
So, in spite of SC rulings that have changed the nature of political campaigning and business enterprise throughout the US, the nation's biggest game is controlled by a league Czar who calls all the shots while presumably taking orders from the invidual owners and top shareholders of the league enterprise.
Booing Goodell is like whistling in the wind. It only makes the whistler feel good about the atmosphere of discontent.

Brady shot that commercial during his suspension. GOAT!
February 6th, 2017 at 11:50 AM ^
Greatest Brady commercial is still the Foot Locker Week of Greatness Commercial.

Brilliantly executed from an acting standpoint. He's got some chops.
February 6th, 2017 at 3:18 PM ^
Goodell sucks and I hate him. But his incompetence shouldn't absolve Brady and Bellichick. The stupid suspension was foolishly handled but he was trying to make up for years of letting the Pats off the hook for ya know, their decades of cheating.
Pats fans act like it was some depraved act of injustice comitted against the Pats. Meanhwile Goodell had been kissing their asses for years. Pats are Mr. Burns-level cheats...

Oh I'm sorry - I thought this was mgoblog - the very place that decries the rank corruption of the SEC and has endless posts griping about their 'bag men'.
I was under the impression we didn't put up with cheaters on this here board. Yet when it comes to Golden Boy Tom Brady and the most crooked franchise in pro football everyone overlooks it.
A pox on all of you!
I thought this was America, isn't this America?
