It happened midway through the season last year - the only time Brady got shut out.
I'd have to dig up the scores to find the game, and then dig around in the underworld of the internet and social media to find the clip, if it still exists anywhere, and it's too late at night for that. I'm feeling ugly and I need my beauty sleep.
The clip made the alternate news and social media before disappeared real fast - presumably the league saw to that. Tom had to answer for it in a staged press conference, once and only once, before the issue was buried. His excuse (he didn't deny it - the evidence was right there) went something like,"Oh, that's just football." The issue was never pursued further; it would have been bad for the league's image and revenues.
But I tyhought when I saw the Q and A: No, Tom, that isn't football.
Players get heated and things get raw all the time, but after the game there's a model of decorum that you broke - because you're so above it all, because you're so special, because you expected to get away with it and didn't think the better of it while you were trotting all the way across the field, because you're so entitled because you're Tom Brady.
I ain't buying.
