I used to root for Serena, she was one of my favorites, but after telling a line judge she was going to shove a ball down her throat and some of the other shit she has pulled lately...well, now I enjoy seeing her implode.

Ummm...have you already forgotten last year’s US Open Finals?

See, I didn’t read Serena’s comments as graceful. I thought it was passive-aggressive and the subtext clearly was, “I’m so much better that the only way I can lose is when my opponent improbably plays better than she’s ever played before.”

Now imagine being Gerry Fleck

Odd, since a left foot won Daniel Day-Lewis an Oscar.

Speaking of “dumb as fuck,” first, Brady specifically talked about how people are saying they “suck,” not just underdogs.

Because even though he is one of the best QBs to ever play, hes just plainly not a very nice guy. I mean, this is a team that has been to 8 consecutive AFC championships and is in a decline, but still says that everyone says they suck, except no one is really saying that. They are just a good team in a decline playing…

I KNOW IT’S YOU, DREW

To build off your point, what bugs me is that they do the underdog bit before games and then whip around and brag about rings if they win. They keep switching between being underdogs and top-dog. Just pick a dog, dammit!

Speaking only for myself, it’s the downplaying of their success/abilities that bugs me. I get that you shouldn’t brag about yourself too much, and I get that there is some point to building an “us against the world” mentality. But those two things combined come off extremely hollow. It’s not just Brady that does this,…

Carlk?

Edelman seems like every short dude/bully/borderline psychopath that ever walked the hallways in every high school that ever existed. He’s the poster boy hero for every masshole that ever waited on hold for an hour to talk to Fred Smerlas about how awesome the Pats are

Man I love Deadspin, but this was painfully unfunny.

One more wonderful reason to hate Julian Edelman:

They’ve only reached the AFC Championship game for eight straight years. Just because nobody else has ever done that doesn’t mean everybody couldn’t if they really wanted to.

My father, an avid football fan and gambler, gave me this advice on his deathbed.

Do you have an advance copy of the orange crop report, Winthorpe?

So, in other words, I should try to corner the frozen concentrated orange juice market. Got it. Thanks, HamNo!
