MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2010 - In recent weeks, Tom Brady has gotten a lot of attention for his new and improved on-field demeanor.
I guess calling it new isn't exactly accurate. Brady used to be that way, but sometime over the last few years had lost his fire a little. This year, it's back. He gets into his teammates' faces after mistakes. He demands greatness and won't tolerate anything less. Basically, he's once again playing and acting like football is the most important thing in his life. For some reason, some people have a problem with this.
But for those who take issue with Brady's temper tantrums and on-field berating of his teammates, ask yourself: Would you rather he acted like Peyton Manning? Would you rather he responded by hanging his head, making disgusted faces while he knows the camera's zoomed in, and then walking back to the sideline, fuming all the way. Would you rather Brady become a passive aggressive Peyton?
Maybe if you asked Julian Edelman this morning, he might prefer the distant glare. But you know what? Probably not. I think Edelman, or any athlete, would rather a teammate -- especially an all-time great -- tell him how he really feels, instead of showing him up with an exaggerated eyebrow raise.
Invest smart, and DD any play first!!! Good Luck Trading!!!
