Foot a hot tabloid topic

thank you NEW YORK - tick our "girlie man" off and we'll see what happens when men are men on Feb 3 -

Thank you NY Post for providing the initial bulletin board material for the week

The "girlie man" who is dating the super-model.....I'd love to be that "girlie man"...

NY can Shove the Asterisks up their you know whats.

How many Yankees from their most recent championships were named in the Mitchell report for Steroid or HGH use? 50%?
And your putting an asteric next to a team that is 18-0 after the video tape of the Jets game was taken away before half-time and they go the whole season without what you call cheating! Give me a break!!!

There should be an asteric next to every win Petit or Clemens had as well as Sheffield and Giambi's homers and Knoblock's hits.
Now that's what I call cheating!!!

If it were that serious, Brady would not be walking around for everyone to see. He would be getting treatment. I think the N.Y. fans & media are grasping for straws. Do you think BB would allow his top player to be seen injured and not keep him in Boston for treatment if it were really bad.
I guess they need some storyline to make the Super Bowl more exciting.

“The cocky quarterback for the undefeated* New England Patriots was caught hobbling to the West Village home of his gal pal, Gisele Bundchen. For your information, he is not a cocky quarterback just a level headed one with no ego issues as you see with NY.......

The New York Post is the Star Trek fan of the newspaper world. Have they ever even kissed a girl?

Tom's just having some fun wiht his favorite New York suckers. Psych!!

That's exactly what Bill Belichick wants the media to see, it's all part of the Master's plan.

The New York Post: braindead newspaper for braindead readers

I cannot believe the New York press is destroying the New York Giants in the press. What a shallow, disrespectfull town. No wonder they never win anything.
Can a city be more gutterish? I myself, a Pats fan, hope Tom splatters the Giants into your newspaper as another Yankee's disaster. I cannot wait for your comments. As classless newspapers ..you are without question, # 1. You just destroyed the Giants Super Bowl. What goes around comes around...can't wait Be proud my New York friends...classless has always been your character..

Tom Brady is a fancy boy.

i'm from boston and living in new york right now and believe me, no one reads the ny post, and those who read it, don't take it seriously. about 90% of it is usually garbage.

For all those condescending NY folks who have a long time habit of looking down upon us Bostonians and our beloved athletes, thanks for early Bulletin Board material. And as far as * goes well if PATS cheated all along then they should 132-0 till today with 6 superbowl rings for Bill & his boys with so -called "Competitive Edge" we gained by videotaping signals of opposite teams. Well done NY Post. Game is won in trenches and not in the media... Go Pats!!

I would not use the NY Post to train my dog, leave my snow covered boots on, or to start a fire in my wood stove- useless trash newspaper-reminds me of the "Old Record American" for those of us who grew up in the 50's and 60's

Typical Rupert Murdoch

Keep motivating the Patriots, LOSERS! The Patriots will demolish the Giants not because of Brady's arm, and certainly not his legs; their defensive scheme will make Manning throw multiple interceptions! Take it to the bank! The NY Giants defense will NOT lay a hand on Brady, period!

Hey New York Post!
I'll be looking for your headlines Monday morning Feb 4th. Should be something familiar like, "Looks Who's Limping Home!"

It's a disgrace that these media organizations pay photographers to stalk celebrities and athletes. Shame on the Boston Globe for going along with this coverage.

I'll be pulling for the Giants for a couple of reasons.

The undefeated* Pats are just an updated version of the Dallas Cowboys, circa the pompous "America's Team" era. Belichick exudes a Dick Cheney-esque warmth and the same penchant for subterfuge and nastiness. Bet there is a followup investigation in the offseason....

Sure, the Pats are good...but they're easily one of the dirtiest teams in the league, on and off the field. (Cameragate speaks for itself, but watch Vrabel's leg whip on Phillip Rivers in the second quarter of the championship.) So, like the members of the 72 Dolphons, I'll be drinking champagne after they lose....

I heard he sprained it in the histrionics that followed his discovery that Rent is closing on Broadway.

I agree, #6. The last thing I would ever describe him as is cocky!! Unbelievable. This guy is humble, grateful, and the ultimate team player. I guess those are unknown traits in New York.

Like many others, I was born into the Boston/New England fan club...Unfortunately, I moved to NY for my job and have to deal with this on a regular basis. I'm just happy that I have SOME support in this dirty over-rated city. I wear my old school Pats hat proudly on the subway! You should see the looks I get! I think the only thing that is stopping me from getting smacked is that I'm a chick. The Post is pathetic...something for the loser fans to grasp onto. I love Brady, but he should have thought twice about coming to NY with a foot cast on his leg! Hell, Gisele needs to move to Boston for a couple of weeks. I doubt he is THAT whipped and it was her call. Seriously, Tom...give it a rest until after the Superbowl! You'll have all summer to have fun with her!

All little boys get hurt once in awhile, he'll be alright! It's those around him that won't.

Listen you cretins:

Your city is to America what Gisele is to humanity, nice to look at with nothing inside of it.

You have history--that's nice. You have a few sports teams too, that, for a lack of any other decent attractions, you follow like pathetic 10-year-olds.

What, exactly, does Boston provide to the rest of the country? A gaggle of illiterate morons that speak with an accent akin to someone with Cerebral Palsy?

Your city is the Baltimore of New England. It's no wonder your own quarterback lives in New York. Good luck pulling out the "classless headline" card, you people are the most classless fans (and people) in the nation.

Pats dirty? You New York loosers just can't take a Boston team on top. Grow up your the sorest bunch of loosers I've ever seen. Get outta your mothers basement and get a life.

The best thing about the New Jersey Giants (remember only the Bills play in New York) playing in the Super Bowl? Not only will they lose, they won't make the playoffs next year.

In reference to the caption under the picture, someone should inform the NY Post that Tom Brady is not wearing pirates treasure on his foot/leg. I believe the term they were going for was "bootie", but hey..they're just writers.

I dont think many NY'ers read the Post and I'm suprised is still in circulation...the ones who do are typically not the type of fans youd want to have a sports discussion with....

NYC and their teams have all the money, all the glitz, all the self importance and ZERO heart. Boston is passionate, loyal, hard working - everything you want in a city and in a sports team.

The Pats will not only win the Super Bowl next week, but they will go down as the undisputed, greatest team in the history of football. The Sox are 2 out of the last 4, the Celtics are on their way to another championship, and the Bruins just beat the Rangers on both ends of a back to back.

You can keep your dirty, crime ridden, overcrowded city...with loser teams. Those of us in Boston are too busy hanging out in the winners lounge to worry about it....lol.

Tom Brady will not have to speak up in his defense as his O-LINE will do the talking for him. It's not wise to make Mr. Mankins & Mr. Light angry....

"Boston is passionate, loyal, hard working - everything you want in a city and in a sports team."

Heart and passion, eh? Come down and see the city for yourself if you can ever get out of mom's basement. You might not even know what to do in a real city.

That, or maybe you could go get some class. New York is safer (and ranked as the most polite city in the world, thankyouverymuch) than Boston, and, to be honest, is superior on levels more esoteric than sports. I'll give you time to find the definition of that word.

Anyone consider the possibility that he got injured early the game which, consequently, impaired his perfomance? This could explain the 3 interceptions and overall subpar perfomance...
Let's hope it heals in time.

Calm down dudes. No one takes the Post seriously and if your QB didn't choose to spend so much of his time in Manhattan the whole thing never would have happened. I mean really, don't you think its a little crazy that he bolts Beantown the first chance he gets? Don't you have any decent looking chicks in Boston or just those pasty faced Irish ones? And you're hardly ones to complain about people taking pictures of football players don't you think? Know what I mean?

Nice try Frank.

On top of better sports, better hospitals, and more history...Boston also has the best colleges and universities in the country and a much more highly educated populous than NY any day of the week.

Nice job with the online dictionary brother...lol. Now be patient, it will only be 2 more weeks before we beat your Giants for a second time and go down as the greatest team in the history of football.

A month ago they wanted to run Eli out of town... Now they think he's superman!! Ha what abunch of fly by night losers

Go ahead NY, live it up. You have two weeks of NFC gloating left until your junior manning is put in his place, along with his big bro....

BTW, did you see yet ANOTHER Peyton commercial the other day? This one about LOSING in the playoffs? what, did he film it Monday? Does anyone know how much more he brings in just for his advertisements?

And I LOVE the talk about Big Bill being a rude coach. Funny how those people don't talk about the sore loser/sore winner complex of the Manning boys. ALSO funny how NY dogs their QB all season and then LOVE him when he wins the NFC.

Also

ALLTHIS BITTERNESS BETWEEN THESE 2 CITIES.......THIS GOES BACK TO B4' BABE RUTH WAS TRADED 2 NY/WHOEVER FIRED THE FIRST SHOT @ WHO DOESN'T MATTER-WHAT DOES MATTER IS WE'RE ALL AMERICANS,THE BITTERNESS TOWARDS EACH OTHER IS RIDICULOUS/ALL INVOLVED SHOULD JUST BE ABLE TO CHEER 4 THEIR TEAMS W/O ANYONE CRITISIZING EACH OTHER,MUCH LESS BECAUSE WHERE THEY CAME FROM.THIS HATE IS OUT OF CONTROL!! WHY CAN'T SOMEONE CHEER 4 WHO THEY WANT-AND EVERYONE HAS TO RESPECT THAT AND LET IT BE WHAT IT IS -SUPPORT 4 THEIR TEAM/PAPERS R IN BUSINESS TO SELL NO MATTER WHO/HOW IT GETS DONE! IT SEEMS YOU,NY ALL FELL INTO THE TRAP THEY WANTED-BAITED!!

# 24 "Superior"NY:

Harvard vs. Columbia?

BC vs. St. John's High?

MIT vs. NYU?... LOL

Yeah, guess we are a bunch of "illiterate morons".

It should be an interesting game. Let's not bring cutdowns of people's birthplaces and homes. Do you think the players come from the same cities that they play for ? I think not. Maybe the fans should have a game ! Now that would be fun.

god i love it when anger is continually spewed towards the pats.
cameragate? are you kidding me? yes, yes, they are the greatest team in history, even right now but it's because they, along with many many other teams in the past and present, did some videotaping? so funny. the guys still need to make the plays people!
i also love it when bostonians are called classless by a person who in the same sentence throws insults like "illiterate" and "morons" at them. priceless. just as priceless as tom brady and the pats ability to constantly kick butt.

Cast? Psych Out, New Yorkers once againd duped by the press...go Brady GO PATS!!!!!!

Reply to #24. "What, exactly, does Boston provide to the rest of the country? A gaggle of illiterate morons that speak with an accent akin to someone with Cerebral Palsy?". Thanks for mentioning our superior sports teams. You forgot to mention our superior universities and colleges, superior hospitals and medical research facilities, and superior technology firms. Yeah, I guess the only thing you have more of is people.
Making fun of someone's accent is pretty silly, but I expect that from a New Yookah.

to real new england yankee-yeah,guess we are a bunch of illiterate morons those r your words,not mine! you wrote it!!!! if you are so be it,u r what u r!

And what's up with the radio station doing the Psych out campaign on Brady with masks of Bridget M? You could have the entire stadium wearing them and it wouldn't phase him. Now, Eli is another story, maybe everyone should wear masks of Peyton and watch Eli totally lose all that control he's been showing the last few weeks......

Oh, and if Tom Brady is "girlie" what does that make SHE LI MANNING??????

Hey, superiorNY

You are deaf, dumb and blind.....just like the rest of you new jokers.

Have someone read this to you..........if you can find someone in NY who can read and possibly understand English!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hate on haters!

PATS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shut up or you will get a timeout, just like ... L.T.

I too would like to contribute insulting comments in the direction of sports fans from new york city as i think the professional football team from new england is superior and our fair city of Boston full of things that make it pefectly inhabitable and pleasant.

Hooray for Sports and regionalism. Yay!!

Hard to argue which is a worse accent, the Boston one or Brooklyn one. Let's not forget the NJ accent as well. But that is irrelavant back to sports . . . .

Do you think Wes Welker will have a teary-eyed press conference to tell the tabloids to stay away from "my teammate. That's my quarterback."

Pats Team is better than the Giants.
Pats QB is better than the Giants QB.
NY Pizza is better than Boston Pizza.

Those are the facts.

# 43 Stephen Pommerenk:

Apparently, the concept of irony is lost upon you. Didn't you notice the scare quotes? Oh, well...

I suggest a remedial reading program. In addition to its superior colleges and universities, New England offers excellent adult literacy programs.

Again, when it comes down to which team is better, the other team's fans have to bring completely unrelated issues into the discussion. The Patriots are far better than the Giants, so all the New Yorkers can do is say that if you go beyond sports, New York is better than Boston. Well guess what? This is a football game. Not a landmark debate (I think we can beat you in that), an accent debate (again), a history debate (I'll take Boston, thank you), or a weather debate (draw). The Patriots are the better team, hands down, and you know that, so you have to resort to other avenues of insulting Boston.

Accent? You talk of a Boston accent? Hey Brooklyn have you ever listened to yourselves?? I've seen Southeners speak with more class & distinction. Oh by the way we have beaten both Manning's now so what is one more time?? The Jets? well y'got no Joe Namath any more and the Giants haven't been all that Giant since who was one of their coaches? BB? so go home now and forget about it, the 72 Dolphins? forget about it... everything falls in time, and Now is our Time.... like the Sox and soon the Celtics.... jus tdeal with it.

Oh yeah???

The NY Post? Makes you yearn for those good old Record American days long gone by....Of course that was a literary masterspiece compared to the tripe that regularly appears in this rag.

Gotta give it to 'em though as these folks consistently never let the facts ruin a good story.

With all that good local stuff on their plate too.

Wow! Rudy is a veritable no show on the national political caucas scene, Isaiah and the Knicks are a national disgrace on the court and in the courtroom, the venerable Yankees are making more news on the Senate Floor and in chemical
labs than they are Yankee Stadium and the other footaball coach in town has finally been exposed and gone from Mangenius to Mandubious.

I suppose New Englanders should be proud that our recent good fortune in so many sectors is so highly coveted......
gone from Mangenius to Mandubious....inisde a year.

I'd like to get me some of that "girlie man"!!!

Who knew the fonz was from portugal??

to :SuperiorNY

Nooone from NY should ever make fun of any other accent. Everytime i hear a new york accent i want to vomit. #34 and #42 couldnt have said it any better.

By the way, Its absolutely pathetic that the "New York" giants dont even play in their own state. Instead you have to cross the beautiful hudson river and watch them in the arm pit of our country.

Why can't Patriots fans just enjoy the undefeated season (not to mention all of the great seasons the Pats have put together this decade) instead of getting their collective panties in a knot over a stupid headline in a tabloid paper a homeless bum in NYC wouldn't deign to use to wipe his ass?

As far as superior education goes, I certainly wouldn't give either city that distinction based on the spelling and grammar "skills" on display here.

unlike David Beckham who will writhe in agony on the turf for a hangnail, and end up never making any real play action for an entire season, Brady could play with a broken foot.

It's amazing that New York has so many newspapers considering 3/4 of New Yorkers can't read. Hence the need for pictures!The Pats will win the Super Bowl but never fear,all of you New Yorkers can take comfort in the fact that Eli can always acheive championship status doing what we now know he does best...having a cookie-licking contest with loser brother Peyton...(I hope Eli Knows the Heimlich just in case Peyton "chokes").

New Yorkers are just pulling at straws now....trying to find something to say to make themselves feel better. The Post just fueled his fire along with the rest of the team....Brady an Co. will have the best game of the season. GO PATS!!!!

I think Tom should wear the boot on his other foot and give all the New York fans something to talk about.

We should give our New York Giants Friends each a "Red White and Blue Lucky Rabbit Foot, to put in their little pockies. The will need them!

St. Tom the family man.
He gets a few days off from football and the first thing he does is go spend a little quality time with his girlfriend.
Thank god he does not have a baby. That would really get in the way of his lifestyle.
Wait, hold on a mintue. He does have a baby?
This guy is a jerk.

the Post is the BostonHerald on heroin. Total junk, who gives a crap what's in that scandel sheet. This is a None issue and not a story. Brady will tear the Giants to shreads in AZ next month. I'd put $ on it. Call it in.

John F. (#63) you are absolutely right...hey Tom, you do have a few days of quality time to spend with your baby, you know, the other one!

Gee, what a great dad! What a joke!

I just got back from a long weekend in NY/NJ. The Giants fans (upon orders from Mike and the Mad Dog) are still talking about the Green Bay game and where it stacks up in Giant lore. They've barely turned their attention to the Pats -- though the Post itself didn't waste any time. My feeling is that NY sports have deteriorated to the point that playoff, not championship, wins are the barometer of success. To talk so incessantly about an NFC CHAMPIONSHIP proves to me that they don't expect the Super Bowl to be a common occurrence, like we are used to.

I'm just hoping the G-Men can improve upon their last Super Bowl performance, which, let's be honest, was absurdly pathetic.

I love how a little article can get all of you Pats fans' panties in a twist. The real game is played on the field and you need to realize that 18-1 is not perfection!!!!

GMEN - Forever!!!!!!

P.S. THE SOX SUCK TOO!!!!!

To all you New Yorkers and Giants fans on this board; you are all members of a classless city that wallows in its own over-hyped garbage dump of a landscape. Your sports teams are being shown to be frauds; the Yankees are the ones who need an asterisk with all their juiced up players over the past 10 years. The Patriots are going to whip the Giants' butts in the Super Bowl and prove once again the Boston is no longer the poor little sister to the big bad jerk-offs from Gotham. Prepare for a pasting. And by the way; I just now changed my vote in the primary from Giuliani to McCain.......just on principle!

John F., Brandy, thank you so much for being our arbiters of morality. We can all sleep easier knowing that you're out there deciding what's right and moral for people you know nothing about.

Something tells me you'd wouldn't be whining nearly so hard if you didn't know he's soon going to cap the perfect season. Mr. Brady's infant will be drinking formula out of the Lombardi Trophy in less than two weeks' time: you know it, you hate it that you know it, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

Now, sleep well.

The thing about including the asterisk, is that for NY Giants fans, belittling the Pats reduces the perception of the historical accomplishment of the Giants should they happen to beat the Patriots.

"Ya gotta build them up, build them up, just to break them down. Oooh, Oooh, Oooh!"

The great, invincible Tom Brady! The invulnerable, magnificent NE Patriots! More like that...

I'm a Boston girl living in NYC. I saw the Post this morning & after I got over my initial freak out about Brady possibly being hurt, I laughed out loud at how ridiculous the story was. Trust me, any educated person in NYC only reads the Post for a good laugh since it's always absurd.

But come on - this fight over which city is better is ridiculous. Both cities have amazing qualities of their own, as well as downsides. The fight over which city is best will be eternal since at the heart of it, Bostonians and New Yorkers both have such pride & passion about where they live. And like the passion everyone here has for his or her respective city, both sides are equally dedicated to their sports teams. As much as I sat at work today wanting to jam a pencil into my brain any time the Giants came up, I knew the same old conversations were going on at home in Boston. (The difference being that the Boston conversations were probably based in reality whereas the New York conversations crossed over to delusional most of the day. Quite sad actually.)

However, why Brady decided to come to NYC for his days off are a total mystery. But all the taunting from obnoxious Giants fans & paparazzi continuingly stalking him down here is only going to fuel his fire for the big one. And it’s going to be NYC own fault since you don’t want to piss off Brady.

This whole thread makes me laugh, but it also shows immaturity. I also dislike the NY teams, but when does this uncivil rivalry end! I was at the Pats AFC Championship game and I do NOT expect a contest in Glendale. Let us be real!!!

The Manning family is the pits of sportsmanship and class. You don't raise a family member that says trade me to NY "cause" I ain't playing in San Diego and I want to play in NY, the media capital. Another classless Elway-like jerk with a self-centered persona.

#44. I guess they are copying what the Red Sox fans did to A-Rod with the blond masks....does anyone in New York remember that the Red Sox lost that game, and when the Indians tried it during the playoffs, they lost too. So let them wear their masks, our boys will love wearing the rings.
New York needs to be careful what they wish for, an * on the Patriots for one game will be far out weighed by * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * on any of the Yankee wins and the Mets wins. New York is a nice place to visit but your sports teams need to clean up their act and their veins.

And they call Boston fans/press ignorant jerks. LOL. I guess we learned all we need to know about that subject from the good old New York Press.

Hope you dont sell out of tissues on 2/3/08 New York!

I wonder if with the high ankle sprain, Mr. Tuck will provide us with an infamous LT leg breaking of Joe Theisman on Mr. Brady?

Any thoughts?
