View Full Version : I remember stealing my friend's play-calls when we played Madden

I couldn't lose... It was impossible to lose when I knew what play he was going to run.

This makes me wonder - why wasn't Tom Brady and the Patriots taken down for this again?.. Why do they still get credit for all their rings?

And the sad thing is that Brady's cheating mindset was confirmed with the ball inflation scam.

The problem with all this is that it exposes the media for picking winners and losers - so Kyrie is a horrible person for doing nothing wrong, but guys like Brady and Lebron gets passes for their screw-ups because they're friendly and "cool" with the media.

AD is back to lift the Lakers from lottery to champion again, yet the media will credit Lebron for the title and act like AD was a role player or "pippen" - but AD was the statistical leader in 2020 regular season/playoffs and will need to be again for the Lakers to win

It's sad because the media was initially mad at Lebron for team-hopping, but eventually they had to support it rather than knock the very sport they cover (lapdogs.. a horrible way to live)

But it's still fraud - it's still deck-stacking regardless of whether the media acknowledges it.. that's why Lebron will never lead any legitimate goat poll because everyone knows he stacked the deck (talent-based winning) and couldn't develop championship chemistry like organic winners.

The media made a site to justify Brady cheating his way to goat resume and status

Classy... :applause:

Again, the media doesn't do that for guys they don't like.. Only for certain guys will they justify overt cheating (Brady) or overt stacking the deck (Lebron)

It's called fake news folks... That's the era we live in.. Look at the AG in Michigan - she's decided not to prosecute anyone over the water that killed all those black people... People in power simply rig things to their liking, which is usually contrary to fairness

You're probably trolling OP, but I disagree. Brady has the best argument for GOAT qb, but GOAT in sports is way too subjective. And football is the ULTIMATE team sport. Brady's O-line, receivers & defense all had to be impactful - most of that being out of his control.

Football relies on teammates more than basketball, where 1 player has a bigger impact on the game than football - so Brady's rings are due to his teammates more than Jordan, who carried the load on both ends more than Brady

Furthermore, if a quarterback could chose any team around him in history, he probably chooses the Patriots, especially since they had their opponent's play calls.. Otoh, no one would choose to play in the triangle or without a 1b sidekick

It’s not like Vick could exactly be counted on when it mattered either. He handed the Packers their first ever L at Lambeau, good for him. Besides that though? 6 points against the Eagles in ‘02, beat a horrible 8 win Rams team before scoring 10 points against the Eagles in ‘04, then proceeded to miss the playoffs in ‘05 & ‘06. Then even in his resurgent season in 2010 had another mediocre playoff performance.

Brady would have zero rings without being a historic cheater (that the media gave a pass)

Seriously, the next time you play Madden, let your opponent give you his play-calls before each down.. So when he's going deep, you're in a prevent.. when he's going slant route you have multiple guys covering it... The Patriots should have all their rings confiscated

Even with the rings, he was carried on both sides of the ball compared to Jordan and didn't dominate every title like Jordan - I doubt Brady had 6 Super Bowl MVP's

One thing I'll give Brady credit for and I guess you have a point that I should be consistent:

Brady knows how to WIN (organic) - that's the biggest reason I don't have Lebron top 10

However, I wouldn't put Brady in my top 10 of football players either (if I had one) because he's a confirmed cheater... I experienced how valuable it is to know the opponent's plays from my brief Madden experience - I couldn't lose - I felt sorry for my buddy sometimes but it was too much fun "Bradying" him by stealing his play calls... He didn't know about the little trick that warriorsfan mentioned earlier.

Btw, Brady took his knowledge of how to win (organic) to Tampa Bay just like Kawhi did in Toronto.. So despite the cheating and fake rings in New England, he clearly still learned how to win and therefore is an all-time great... Like Kawhi perhaps... But not goat

Only the Jets beating the Colts in super bowl 3 was a bigger super bowl upset than the Patriots beating the greatest show on turf in 2002.

Jordan won his first title as the underdog, as NBA.com documented:



the Bulls were considered big underdogs to the Lakers in the Finals and the vast majority of media "experts" predicted an easy Lakers' victory.

http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/top-20-moments-1990-91-season.html/


The Bulls were also underdogs in 1998 Finals - Utah had homecourt, plus they had SWEPT Shaq's 4 all-star Lakers and Popovich/Duncan's 56-win Spurs.. So everyone thought they would beat the Bulls, who were weary and had barely squeaked by Indiana in 7 games in ECF.. You would know this if you watched back then

Btw, Jordan also upset the #1 SRS team in 89' with a low seed of bums.

So Jordan beat teams with better talent far more often than Brady

Ultimately, Brady was carried on both sides of the ball compared to Jordan and is a loser compared to Jordan (lost as the favorite a shit ton)

But the Bulls had a higher SRS than the Lakers, isn't that how you judge teams? :oldlol:

This is how I know you don't know shit about football, that Rams team to this day are considered the greatest offense in history, the Seahawks who Brady also beat had a dominant defense that also featured a future HOF QB, and lets not forget he beat Mahomes in 2018 & in the super bowl last year.

MJ would never.

SRS doesn't necessarily align with the odds heading into a particular series

For example, any Lebron team in 2012 was going to be underdogs regardless of their SRS because Lebron lost as the favorite the preceding 3 years.. Fool me once, fool me twice...

Btw, the 91' Finals was the first Finals for everyone on the Bulls - no one ever won like that before until the 15' Warriors.

One of the reasons why the Bulls were underdogs is because of the Lakers history of winning in the 80's, when in reality they weren't the same team. Pretty much the same deal.

To add to this, '04 Brady also beat the 14-2 Colts led by MVP Peyton Manning and the 15-1 Steelers the next week in the AFC championship game.

I couldn't lose... It was impossible to lose when I knew what play he was going to run.

This makes me wonder - why wasn't Tom Brady and the Patriots taken down for this again?.. Why do they still get credit for all their rings?

And the sad thing is that Brady's cheating mindset was confirmed with the ball inflation scam.

The problem with all this is that it exposes the media for picking winners and losers - so Kyrie is a horrible person for doing nothing wrong, but guys like Brady and Lebron gets passes for their screw-ups because they're friendly and "cool" with the media.

They didn't get a pass though - the Patriots were punished and still kept winning. Brady went to a new franchise with a new coaching staff and won another SB his 1st year at 43 years old and is still an elite QB in his mid-40s. The deflategate is some bullshit as well and if you did any research on it you'd know with all the physics involved in a ball deflating under those conditions & the fact that they crushed the Colts by 38 points and beat them even worse (28 - 0) when they switched the balls after the complaint for the 2nd half of that game.

Kyrie isn't a horrible person, but he's a horrible teammate for sabotaging his team and creating needless drama over a ****ing vaccine while also losing millions in the process. Lebron hasn't really cheated or been caught cheating either and let's be honest - most of the NBA stars are doing banned substances to help them recover faster, of course the league is going to look the other way to benefit their own product and it likely happened in the MJ era as well.

Why are you even entertaining this? Losing a 7 game series as the favorite is way different than losing a single game.

Actually, voters punished Pippen in 91' for wetting the bed so historically in the 90' Playoffs

So Pippen wasn't an all-star in 91', while Worthy was all-nba..

Furthermore, the Lakers destroyed the Bulls after the Magic/MJ and Worthy/Pippen matchups.. Vlade & Perkins averaged 17/9 in the Finals and demolished Grant, while Byron Scott was 5 times the player that Paxson was (although injured in that series).

Ultimately, the 91' Finals was the first Finals for everyone on the Bulls - no one ever won like that before until the 15' Warriors.

Brady cheated for the Patriots' rings and wasn't dominant while winning that Superbowl in Tampa Bay (carried).

So Brady getting carried like that and not dominating numerous Super Bowls or earlier rounds means that he doesn't compare to Jordan, who dominated every series and championship..

MJ overcame bigger talent deficits

MJ had 1 other all-star (2 all-star team) but faced teams with 3 all-stars in 93' and 96', or faced teams that crushed them top to bottom offensively with better ranked defenses (91' and 92' Blazers)..

Otoh, Brady had super-teams, so the "comp" doesn't matter.. Super-team rings < non-super-team rings.. beating super-teams WITH super-teams means little or nothing.. Otoh, losing with super-teams is unacceptable.. Jordan never lost with good teams (never lost with 1 or 2 seeds or Finals teams, while everyone else in history lost a ton with both).

How did he cheat for the Patriots' rings? You can cry about the "Tuck Rule" in his 1st one & Spygate happened in the era where the pats had a 10-year drought of winning any SBs, he won like 8 years after the spygate shit happened and did so by coming up clutch in one game after another, there's no cheating when the Seahawks choke a 10-point lead late in the 4th and throw a pick to end the game in the redzone, there's no cheating when he's evading the rush and making pin-point throws to the smallest windows with below-average receivers in that epic 28 - 3 comeback against the Falcons.

He got "carried" last year when he won SB MVP and was 21/29 & 3 TDs 0 INT and had 10 TD 3 INT overall for the Playoff run lmao.

"After meeting with Goodell on February 13, 2008, Specter reported that Goodell told him that Belichick had been engaged in the practice since he became head coach of the Patriots in 2000"


So that invalidates Brady's 02' chip... And also his B2B in 04' and 05'

After this was discovered in 08', Brady didn't win again for nearly a decade.

:confusedshrug:

Then there's deflategate... :facepalm:... That was discovered in 2014 and confirms the organization's cheating mindset of trying to get a leg up by breaking rules.

Sorry, Brady is just another media creation like Lebron

You're crying about deflategate (in a game where a team got stomped 28 - 0 once they changed the balls lmao) but make no mention of Jerry Rice & the 9ers cheating..

3-peating requires a good brand of ball and good brands win without talent, by definition.

The sad part is that after being gifted a 3-peat franchise, Pippen performed satisfactorily only during the no-pressure/surprise factor period - after the 94' Playoffs ended the honeymoon period, the "real" Bulls without MJ were lottery in 95' before MJ returned (on pace for 8 seed that they likely miss).

So Pippen destroyed a 3-peat dynasty to 2nd Round and lottery in less than 18 months.

Brady went to the buocs to play with Mike Evans, Godwin, Gronk, Antonio Brown, Leonard Fournette, and a stacked elite ranked defense. Playing on a team loaded with HOFers and pro bowlers. He didn't join the jets.

There is a lot of truth to OPs statement. Tom Brady is a great player and for sure clutch, but he's always been on dynasty teams. I feel like every coach wants to know what the other team is doing though. That's just general espionage in warfare. That's why they pour over hours of game footage. I don't see a problem with it since they obviously all try to do it, Bill and tom were just better at it.

So we're leaving out the SBs he won with mediocre receivers? Remember the Falcons comeback? Was Gronk there? No one was willing to go near AB but Brady got him to buy in for at least one season, Gronk retired for a year prior to joining TB, he's been nowhere near his prime level since like 2015. Of course Brady had good teams around him but when you look at the SBs he won, he rarely had a deep receiving core or an ATG TE prior to Gronk, some of those teams were not that good on the offensive side. The '17 SB team was arguably the weakest and he pulled it off against an ATL team (James White, a RB, was their leader in receiving yards in that game with 110, no one else broke 100) that was LOADED on on the offensive end and had 505 yards 3 TD in a SB loss the year after, where his defense gave up 41 points to a backup QB.

At least you're willing to admit that other teams try to pull this shit as well, the Patriots were just the ones that got caught but it's not like they were in the middle of winning SBs when that happened.
