Great QB, but what a no-class punk.
Here's my shocked face.

Haters gonna hate.

Where's the context? Historically, how many losing QBs congratulate the winner after a championship game? Is "apparently" solid proof that Brady didn't congratulate him in the tunnels or in a text?

There's a lot of punks in the world. Calling Brady one is a huge stretch.

Has Tom Brady ever been accused of rape? And go on an obscene rant in public? A current QB has. Did Brady haul off and strike a girl in the face with his fist? A RB drafted in the 2nd Round of the 2017 draft did.

Have you called either of these two "a no-class punk?"

I don't think think Nick Foles cared whether Brady congratulated him or not. Maybe Brady did so later.

Pitt doesn't seem like the type of team that would sign Butler. Aren't Burns and Haden coming back for 2018? Would they sign Butler to be a nickel corner?

You can still be great and not be smug and a jerk about it. Bobby Orr, Peyton Manning, Montana, Unitas, Koufax and others

Brady doesn't have to be this guy Image

I mean come on. Is he going out of his way to be disliked? And I know his preparation, execution, and passion for the game and winning is still right up there, but it's stuff like this (among other things) why something like only 16% of the country was rooting for NE last night. I have never seen a Super Bowl where the country was so heavily united against one team.

Have to say that this Super Bowl was a rare time where the Patriots were defeated by what seemed like a better version of themselves. Eagles were just better prepared, coached, executed better. And they did it with a backup QB and the flu bug.

The Butler situation. Nobody knows what to make of it. Belichick would not bench this guy for the Super Bowl if he fell asleep in a meeting or missed curfew. It's the Super Bowl. It's all hands on deck. This must be for something way worse that we'll find out at a later date.

Has Tom Brady ever dumped a girlfriend while she was pregnant with his child? A current QB has. Oh wait, that was him.

Have you ever heard of proportion? Or do you consider sexual assault and assault and battery less serious than leaving a pregnant girlfriend? Are you going to call every pro football player who left a pregnant girlfriend a "no class punk?"

Sooo, has this been covered? Have we ever before had a team not punt once & still lose the game? When?

It's happened twice in the playoffs:

1982 Quarterfinals, St. Louis at Green Bay. St. Louis lost 16-41, but did not punt. Cardinals scored 3 times, 2 TDs and a FG. Four turnovers. Three missed field goals. Cardinals had 453 yards and 27 first downs. Don't know if they had any failed 4th down conversions. Packers only punted once.

2013 Divisional round, Indianpolis at Kansas City. Colts won 38-31. Neither team punted. Chiefs had one lost fumble and one missed FG. Colts had a kneeldown at the end of the first half, and gave the ball up on downs with 13 seconds to go in the game.

There have been other games in the regular season.
