Not everyone adored Jordan. Here in the Metro Detroit area he was a pansy protected by the NBA and Nike money machine. When the Pistons created The Jordan Rules I remember the pride in my underdog team working together to triumph of the NBA’s Tom Brady. Joe Dumars could shut Jordan down and was boss.

The bears were branded as a bunch of Joe-six Packs that had stumbled into greatness. Even the sun shines on a dogs ass kind of guys. They were expected to do regrettably stupid things like the rest of us. Even cooler was Jim Macmahon’s headband fine.

Tom Brady is too impeccable and it appears that he doesn’t have to work hard for what he’s achieved. I guess that makes him a dick.

He does want to play professionally until he’s as old as me (45). That will be worth watching. He’ll appear human like the rest of us.

Maybe image is everything?
