Eli did not play against Brady. in the game I tried to watch, Eli led his team to 13 points against one of the poorer defenses in the NFL, and another six points against literally no defense what-so-ever. Madonna could play defense better than some of those guys.
Whereas Brady led his team to 17 points against a virtual all-pro defensive unit consisting of Antrel Rolle, Jason Pierre-Paul, Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and as I was dozing off I may have seen Lawrence Taylor and Michael Strahan. Were Eli ever to face such a defense, there would be a large brown stain on the seat of his his pants which may or may not have been caused by being repeatedly knocked on his ass.
I cannot get excited about a sport where a “star” player performs in less than half the action. When Gizele walks down a runway they don’t bring in someone with a J-Lo ass to walk it back, maybe that’s why she earns twice as much as any of those part-time players. Gizele goes all the way, and both ways.
American football has gone downhill since Concrete Charlie Bednarik retired.
