Come on dude, can we have a little fun without taking it to a childish personnel level?
Of course one will hate on rival players as a fan, part of the fun of watching. But some players actions on the field make them harder to respect and Brady is one of those. Really sort of a shame as he is talented. But I can say I hate Roger Staubach as a Steelers fan but still totally respect him for the player he was. Tom Brady just doesn't get that respect and not because he's "owned" the Steelers. It's not even because of my perception that he get's preferential treatment from the refs. It's because he has been involved in blatant cheating the crossed the line of fair competition, it is because he snubs players on the field, it is because he whines too much to refs for his own benefit.
