Tom Brady is frustrated with the Patriots offense, but won’t take any blame himselfA few observations - you can tell right away that Shank's focused on this column by which the half-clever crafted insults are hurled at Tom Brady. It also seems like he's been waiting to write this column (again) since the last time it was all over for the Patriots quarterback.
The Patriots are 9-1, sharing the best record in football. But the New England sky is falling because Tom Brady is unhappy. And Brady is not taking blame for anything regarding the Patriots’ struggling offense. Evidently, we all need to give Tom a hug and tell him it’s not his fault.
Postgame Sunday, Brady looked as if his dog just died. Frowny face. Mr. Mope.
He came to the podium after New England’s 17-10 rock-fight victory over the Eagles and presented like an 8-year-old about to get a flu shot. He took nine questions and delivered nine clipped answers, speaking a total of 130 words in just over 100 seconds.
As befit a number of other Dan Shaughnessy columns, he swiped the prevailing theme from somebody else on Monday and ran with it:
Brady was back with a few more words early Monday when he called into WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show,” fulfilling a contractual obligation he’s had since he became a starter two decades ago.To which Shank speculates:
Hill started by telling Brady that it looked like the QB needed a hug after Sunday’s game. Then he asked if this was the most frustrated Brady had been after a win.
“I don’t know,’’ Brady started. “I think I’m always generally frustrated during football season . . . so, yeah . . . I was very happy we won. But I just wish we played better offensively. You have to go do it. I don’t think it’s about talking about it, it’s about doing it and trying to get the best we can out of our offense to see if we can be more productive and score more points.’’
Some might take this as an indication that Brady is finally looking 42 years old.And we know who 'some' is, don't we? Eventually, Shank will be right....
Shank loves accountability whether it's him calling the Herald and begging them not to print the story about his stewbum son taking a swing at a cop. Or if it's his good friend Mike Barnicle being busted for plagiarism - for Dan, accountability is job 1.
ReplyDeleteAccountability in Dan's view is the words I don't know or I have never heard of it and that's about the rape sexual harrassment culture at the Globe
