Waiting two hours for a pizza to come should never happen. Never.

You’ve got that Tom Brady confidence. No wonder you make excuses for him.

Tom Brady has the confidence to rock a velvet suit. I don’t have that. Confidence doesn’t need excuses though, babe.

I’m not really sure what happened all I know is that I smoked out my dorm trying make dinner so the fireman bought me McDonalds. To this day I wave at all firemen because that was a very nice thing to do.

Was it a real fireman or a stripper? Or both?

chlo-miller:

Mm, I don’t know if I’d go that far. You’re not so bad but a gem and a half? We’ll see about that.

I’m at least a gem and a half. I might be two full gems.

chlo-miller:

That’s true. You want to play a team at their best. It makes winning that much sweeter. Aren’t you just a gentleman. I don’t care what anyone says about Pats fans. You’re not so bad.

Exactly what I’m saying chica, you’re picking up what I’m putting down. I appreciate that. Now when anyone bad mouths Patriots fans you can step in and be like “Wow, my extended fiance is a Pats fan and he’s a gem and a half.”

I bet you were a very happy guy last week when he broke his collarbone. Do you play at all or are you just a big fan? Oh yeah? I think I’m a little too young and not at all ready to get married. Give it a few years.

A little, but I was also kind of hoping he’d be around for the week 5 beating the Patriots were going to lay on him, so it’s a little disappointing too. Alright, I’ll wait for you, lover.

Both of the Mannings are big babies. They can go find Tony Romo and jump off of the Grand Canyon together. The wise philosopher Taylor Swift once said that haters are going to hate so I guess you just have to be the player who play, play, plays and shake it off. Or something like that.

It’s like your after my heart right now. Manning and Romo hate, Taylor Swift love.. if you asked me to marry you right now I might say yes.

To be fair I do have a certain notion of him because most of the things I see about him are negative. I don’t go seeking out information on him so I didn’t know of his accomplishments. I only see what’s in the news which is usually not good. His repertoire is quite impressive and he’s certainly achieved everything and more in his career. I just, I don’t know. I can’t like him and I don’t know why.

Like I said, he’s hated because of the team he plays on and his own success. When you win, people hate you. When people hate you, they take everything you do and spin it in a negative way. He’s a great story, and continues to be one. It baffles me when people don’t like him because he’s literally, like I said, what you want every athlete to model themselves after. He doesn’t say the wrong things, he’ll trash talk during games, but he respects his opponents, and when he gets hit, he’ll tell the defender nice hit, he’s a football player. Quarterbacks are pampered in this league, so I think a lot of the negative spin comes from that, some soft calls that go his way, but that’s every quarterback and he can’t control what the refs do. But I get it, I mean, I hate Peyton Manning, and I think that surprises a lot of people from outside of New England who aren’t familiar with the sort of rivalry, but I have my reasons. But you know, a key component of athletics is confidence, and does Tom Brady have that? Hell yeah he does. I wouldn’t call him arrogant, but if you have a negative opinion on him, sure I can see it, I can see it with almost any athlete. But the cheater shit, that’s just a cheap comeback for people who hate him and have nothing to say in response to four rings. There’s a limited number of people who kept up with that case well enough to speak on it, unfortunately, most of them are in New England so everyone thinks its just a biased fan base who thinks the whole thing was BS.

How about your favorite subject. Tom Brady. Prove to me that he’s more than a cocky, arrogant cheater.

Okay let’s see, where to start..

For one, there’s zero evidence that he did anything at all to cheat, and for argument’s sake let’s say he did cheat. Since the time the underinflated balls were replaced in the AFC championship game he has thrown for 1,529 yards, 15 touchdowns, and only 2 interceptions. So the supposed cheating provided him with no competitive advantage at all. Today he joined the 400 touchdown club with just 3 other quarterbacks. When Dan Marino reached 400 he had thrown 231 interceptions, when Brett Favre reached the milestone he’d thrown 258 interceptions, when Peyton Manning reached it he’d thrown 198 interceptions. Brady has thrown 143. Of those four quarterbacks there are a total of 6 Superbowl rings combined, Tom Brady owns four of them. With all the greatness he has reached you’d expect him to be one of, if not the, highest paid player in the NFL, but he has consistently restructured his contract to take less and less money in order for the team to have more room against the cap to spend on other players, because unlike most athletes, Tom Brady puts his team first. He’s already in the Hall of Fame,  he’s 38 years old, but he is putting up better numbers than ever, because at a young age he knew he wanted to play deep into his 40s. He works his ass off mentally and physically to remain at the top of his game. And what’s really amazing about him is he wasn’t supposed to amount to anything. He was the 199th pick taken in the draft the year he was taken, and he has reached elite status, proven himself to among the best winners in sports, and one of the greatest underdog stories of all time. And despite everything he has, the super model wife, the money, the family, the four rings, the three Super Bowl MVPs, the season MVPs, the Pro-Bowls, the records, the numbers... he’s still hungry. He is the most competitive guy you will ever see, he’s his biggest critic, and he doesn’t care about stats, he cares about the scoreboard. Truthfully, he catches a lot of hate because of the team he plays for, because of his own success, and because of his fairytale life, but in all honesty, he is what you want all athletes to be. He’s fought for everything he has, and even now that he is literally on top of the sports world, he is still fighting. He’s not a me guy, he’s a team guy who cares only about winning, and that’s what you want, and in today’s professional sports world, that’s rare.

To add to all of that, he’s a gorgeous man with impeccable fashion sense.

Can we be competitive about something else? I don’t think I want you to prove me wrong on that one.

Alright alright, what can I prove you wrong on then?

[brennan-spooner-blog]

chlo-miller:

Mm, I don’t know if that’s a challenge you want to win.

I’m ultra competitive.

carli-krieger:

This is because he’s a Seahawks fan, isn’t it?

I mean, being any fan besides a Patriots fan leaves me superior.

matthews-evan:

No more getting arrested for you then?

No need to, justice has been served.

[brennan-spooner-blog]

chlo-miller:

I don’t think it’s possible for anyone besides him to be that creepy.

Challenge accepted.

[brennan-spooner-blog]

carli-krieger:

Oh man, I think you’re worse than my brother. 

I’m a Patriots fan, I’m superior.

[brennan-spooner-blog]

chlo-miller:

What a sight that would be. You’ll be like a younger, less creepy, more handsome Hugh Hefner.

How do you know I’ll be less creepy?
