First things first, I want to say that this "year of the QB" thing ESPN is doing is simply great; gotta love giving more credit to the guys on the football field who already get the most credit. On to the Brady piece. I loved it obviously. It was pretty amazing to see how good Brady actually was in College, and how disrespected he got in that draft. This all just goes to prove that the Combine is overemphasized. I mean how the hell does Spergeon Wynn, a QB who had worse numbers than Brady at a 1-AA school, still get drafted ahead of him? It's baffling. Watching Brady's Michigan highlights scouts had to have seen his moxy, poise, decision making, and work ethic right? Dude is a born Winner, he won at Michigan, all he did was win the big game, he knows nothing else. Just hearing Mel Kiper, Mariucci, and Billick read Brady's draft report, while the highlights panned of him just doing everything they said he couldn't, left me starry-eyed, borderline in tears. All of this being said, we learned a few things from the documentary that we might not have known before:
1. Lloyd Carr is the man, want him as my grandpa.
2. Giovani Carmazzi is one weird dude, goat farming without a TV is no ideal life.
3. Tee Martin was my favorite of the qb's taken in front of Brady, just seemed like a good guy.
4. Spergeon Wynn is an energy trader, any explanation of what that entails?
5. Drew Henson is bitter, while Chris Redman is simply a goon.
6. Belichick knew Brady was better than Bledsoe, and seemed almost happy Mo Lewis killed his 50 million dollar QB...gotta love Bill.
7. Tom Brady, whether corrupted and changed by Gisele or what not, is a winner in every sense of the word. He has a genuine desire to give everybody who ever doubted him the big "fuck you" and it's inspiring.
