I live in New York State and always hated Brady and Company LOL!
Never could figure out haters. I was born and raised in Vermont and followed the Patriots. I remember the old jokes when they changed the name from Boston to New England. The joke went, "why'd they change the name? To help spread the blame!"
I've admired Brady and what he's done with the chance he got. He never should have started an NFL game at quarterback. He was a 6th round draft pick, third string QB destined to replicate the opposing team's star QB with the practice squad. One injury to the second stringer during preseason and another injury to the overall number one draft pick QB Drew Bledsoe, and we get the beginning of Brady's career. The Patriots had the number one pick because they went 2-12 the previous year.
If I was a New Yorker, I'd hate that the only team that actually plays in New York State is the Buffalo Bills. I went to Hofstra University when it was the home of the Jets. We'd often get the opportunity to get tickets when they still played at Shea Stadium against a lesser team. From 1982 to 1986, that was often New England and the Baltimore Colts. Both these teams were often in last place in the AFC East.
Yes, back then the Miami Dolphins ruled the AFC East followed later by the Bills (actually an acronym for Boy I Like Losing Superbowls). Back then, no one hated the Patriots. They were like the Buccaneers, perennial door mats for the the rest of the conference.
If you want to hate a player, hate someone who smacks their wife, gets arrested for sexual assault or earns #1 draft pick money and never gets your team into the playoffs. Brady plays for bargain basement prices and has more post season wins as a starting QB than 21 NFL teams have in their teams' history,
Win or lose, he's starting his 6th Super Bowl in 13 seasons. That's almost a Super Bowl appearance every other year of his career. Hate him because your team passed him up at least six times during the draft.
