brady invested his money in tons of scams throughout the years, be it a fitness equipment company, supplements, crypto, or god knows what else. 

obviously the tb12 brand was just a way for the patriots to pay him under the table (1,000 dollar medicine balls etc) but the dude absolutely has an eye for getting scammed or scamming.

like he's trying to buy in to an nfl franchise and also holds a stake in an online betting company? I'd keep my players miles away from him. 

Yep. Basically what I was gonna post.

A. They are NOT grown men.

2. Stop being jealous of Brady.

D. They could learn a LOT from Tom Brady.

You mean when he tells Young not to worry when he has the refs in his back pocket to protect him from getting sacked or if a defensive player as much as looks at him a flag will get thrown for a penalty.

brady is going to be an odd old retired man. that guy who keeps talking and talking and talking and offering what he thinks is sage old advice (and some might be) but he just won't quit talking but because he did so much you feel like you have to stay even though you've got places to be and a job to do.

he also seems like that guy who keeps talking to you about the latest multi-level marketing scheme that's "not really a mlm" he's got involved in and you can't get away and just to shut him up you join and spend the rest of your life paying $65/month for crap you don't want.

And at some point drift off into his thoughts that he could still play if he wanted to.

could probably switch out with 3 or 4 other people listening in the mean time and he'd never have a clue.

The best way I can describe my menial thoughts on Brady's personality was that he was a good fit for playing for Hoodie for 72 years.  They both walk to the beat of their own drummer. 

I doubt Hoodie was try to sell you on some multi-level marketing scheme or his revolutionary idea on how to invest your money, but otherwise, they were probably made for each other.  McDaniels is probably in that group, too.

there's just something about that whole era of the patriots that is just annoying. the fact they were so successful and that annoyingly weird just makes it all even more easy to hate them.

They had seven bye weeks a year and all the other great afc teams were all in the north. They were always healthier than other teams because of this and then they’d get to the Super Bowl and bullshit would happen.

imagine how they’d do if they were playing the ravens, Steelers, and bengals six times a year instead of the clown college the afc east was filled with during that time.

Did nobody else see this in the news? It was about building a business for yourself outside of football and and making a brand. I read the article on NBC Sports the other day and it was pretty normal overall. The “odd” article is just clickbait.

After digging into some of the details, I agree that the article is purposely written to be provocative.  One HUGE detail that seems to be missing from the article (or buried somewhere?).  The Ruben guy is the CEO of Fanatics sports gear.  They are the official retailer of the NFL and run NFLshop.com.  The QBs were posted on twitter as "Fanatics Athletes."  Fanatics was actually a part of the rookie event.  In fact, the event itself was all about marketing, content, branding and business opportunities.

true. tougher division and refs that weren't fans and a league that didn't slobber all over the idea of a dynasty and their track record would have been on par with someone like the steelers. could say the same about the peyton era colts. they really didn't have much of a challenge either. seems like the league had a crew that kept the path clear for the pats, though.

    • Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.
    • Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.
    • I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
