One of my favourite scenes of the year is the Jules - Brady exchange after the PR TD versus the Broncos.
"Gotta go see my guy"

So. Many. Diamonds.

I think Jimmy G. has every darned right to celebrate, considering he was the QB who ran -that- play in practice that showed Malcolm Butler how to defend it.
Of course he's excited - he recognized that he -did- contribute to the Super Bowl win, even if he didn't play in it. Wouldn't you be? He just realized it a lot sooner than most other people.
This video is fucking incredible btw..I love the format jumping through his career. Just amazing...Interstellar music doesn't hurt, either.
boy that was awesome.
Zolak going on about what a horrible decision Carroll going for the TD at the end of the first half reminds one that coaches are judged on results. I'm beginning to think of people who criticize Carroll's end of the game pass call as the same as those who harp on deflate-gate: mindless sheep without brains. Speaking of which....

My favorite part of the video was listening to the First Take guy who rags on him over and over and I'm thinking to myself "who the hell is this guy?" Then, at the end, he gets labeled "This Guy." Brilliant.
Turns out That Guy was fired for calling RGIII a "cornball brother" and had some other similar colorful terms he threw out there as well. The sad thing is that they may have actually downgraded with Mark Brunell.

I wasn't trying to say he's a dummy and you're right that he seems to have an incredible amount of football smarts. "Polished" is the word I should have used.

It's probably fair to say that he's not all that well-educated or sophisticated, either. But he's not trying to cure cancer. His job requires him to be able to understand a complex defensive playbook, and read-and-react to offensive alignments in the midst of high-pressure situations (on top of the physical tools necessary). He seems to do that just fine, even if he hasn't had the media training that rolls off of Brady's tongue. Butler's smart in all the ways that matter to him, and to his coaches. Also seems to have the necessary dose of humility and work ethic. Give me a army team of Malcolm Butlers and I could rule the world league.

Agreed. My thought was that it seemed a bit awkward for JG. I felt bad for him. I mean, he didn't even get to hug or high five anyone in that moment. That sucks.

I was probably a bit judgmental myself at first, particularly when I saw his tweet calling Jay Z "talentive," but the more I've gotten to see him, the more I think he's a guy who has a strong capability to learn but who maybe just wasn't given the best education. I think maybe the easiest way to look at it is that Belichick simply wouldn't keep someone incapable of picking things up at a high level on his roster. He's also incredibly humble and I think you'll see him going the opposite direction of David Tyree.

That was a little awkward, but after the game on the field there were about 5 of his family members all in Garoppolo jerseys celebrating and having a great time, so he was OK (I snagged a photo of them).
Winning the Super Bowl in your first year in the league as a back-up QB is all kinds of awesome. For a split second after the pick he was kind of on an island but I can think of much worse things.Cabin Mirror said:
And it's a pretty cool footnote to the entire story that Butler was beat in practice by Jimmy and Josh Boyce on the very same play that delivered us the Super Bowl and BB specifically addressed Butler on that. In addition to everything else JG did behind the scenes, he has to take some satisfaction in his role in the game winner.

Just started to watch it, but who the hell is that guy that says "no way, no how" Brady gets to another SB in the most annoying, hot-takezzz way possible? Almost punched that corner of my screen.
Jemelle Hill should have stopped talking about Boston/NE teams after she made the analogy between the Celtics and Nazis. Grrrrrrrrrr, people like her getting TV time.SeoulSoxFan said:

Rob Parker. Read his Twitter feed to get a taste of how Brady hatred is a huge part of his existence.

Full video of that "no way, no how" video. Oh Rob, don't give up your day job (unless you get fired on it). And yes, he brings Tim Tebow into the discussion.

Just to rub some balls in Jets fans' faces a bit, Namath says Brady is the best ever.

The whole video gave me chills, but that music piece was perfectly selected. I have the soundtrack and that piece is actually called "Daniel's Moment of Truth", which seems so appropriate as it was perhaps the moment where Brady removed all doubts of being the greatest of all time.MillarTime said:
Thanks for all of these video posts; I will likely be trying to relive February 1, 2015 for quite a long time through this thread.
I swear that I cannot quit this thread. The videos never get old and the GOAT and the Pats thank you to season ticket holders are both fantastic. I am a Pats pron-a-holic.
I'm in suburban Detroit and Rob Parker used to write for one of the papers and was also on one of the sports radio stations here.
He is, was and always has been a douche nozzle.

There were also a couple of tracks from Tron Legacy which I thought were very well-chosen.
Great video- thanks for posting it up, guys. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

There is a great clip on both the Turning Point and Sound FX shows with Belichick huddled with the defense and telling them basically that this is it - there are no more plays, so trust your teammates, finish tackles and do your job. It absolutely is a way of life inside this team.
That and a similar one in the Baltimore playoff game are the two most stirring, and what looked like the most paid attention to by a few players huddled up there on the sideline with him that I can remember seeing caught on TV. They both worked, although you never know how much these things do influence players, vs. having a statue on the sidelines like Jim Caldwell. But, I'll take coach BB every time (duh!).JimD said:
It doesn't matter if you have guys like Brady and Bruschi or "malcontents" like Blount, Dillon and Moss. They all buy in to BB and toe the line and have done so for 15 years. That's what makes him GOAT as much as anything else.
Or if they don't, they're gone, like Haynesworth. He was a low risk potential high reward flyer that failed but was quickly excised.Soxfan in Fla said:
