But honestly, I've seen 4 Celtics Championships, 2 Red Sox WS and 3 Patriots Super Bowl championships during my sports fan rooting career, and while you get pretty invested, it's not live or die. I still had to go to work the day after the Super Bowl. I didn't get a ring, or bonus check from my boss.
I don't spend each day bitterly regretting that game or anything.
What you need to realize is that Brady already ESTABLISHED his reputation as a clutch QB, so a few problem spots don't destroy his well earned reputation. Manning has FAILED more often than not in the playoffs, with some pretty mediocre stats, which has established a QUESTION as to whether he's clutch or not.
 Then there are a hell of a lot of liars out there, including Belichick, who has said more than once that there is no quarterback he'd rather have. |
and I grew up with Michael Jordan...congrats.
Tom Brady led his team into field goal range three times...whoopdee****ingdoo!
When Peyton Manning does it Vanderjagt pushes it 60 yards right...
Vinatieri is more clutch than Tom Brady.
