Brady Safer & Quieter But Not Good Enough For Finger-Wagging Media
July 6th, 2020
Joe has written about The War on Tom Brady, aka allegedly morally superior media types screaming about Brady working out mask-free with teammates legally in a private setting, despite players union doctors saying workouts like those should stop because they are unsafe with “The Sickness” around.
Joe’s favorite Brady blasts seem to link Brady to infecting the community and, subsequently, killing people.
A good example from the righteous, finger-wagging crowd came via Tom Jones, of Tampa Bay Times sports fame, who still contributes to one of their podcasts.
I guess being respectful to your fellow citizens doesn't apply to GOATS, especially the arrogant ones. https://t.co/dqbHhcbVRW

Joe brings this up today because NFL Network ran a feature about how Raiders quarterback Derek Carr’s many workouts with teammates have had to change venues frequently to avoid them becoming a fan gathering.
Carr’s brother David talked about how fans were starting to drive to Las Vegas from California to watch Carr and his teammates, and crowd-control became an issue.
Of course, the pundits aren’t firing flame-throwers at Carr. It appears only Brady is drawing the heat.
So is that because Brady flaunted the sessions on social media, as some claim? Consider that since May, Carr has posted several videos of his various practices on his YouTube page. Brady, by contrast, was far more responsible in keeping the workouts at a private school with security to keep the public out. Brady also posted just a handful of still photos.
But Carr and other quarterbacks with multiple Pro Bowls under their belts play with teammates and are celebrated or ignored while Brady is torched.
Joe won’t soon forget this nonsense.

While I certainly take your point I think you are over the top.
Celebrities in all walk of life go through this kind of crap…cheap shotting.
Agree that it’s not right…but just can’t get excited about it…goes with the territory of celebrity and we are learning TB12 is singularly more famous than the entire Buc’s franchise.

The “Sickness” cannot be stopped
All the people around the around just has to be smart about it and go on with their daily lives
July 6th, 2020 at 10:46 am
I see Tom Jones as a jaded twitter troll the times decided to hire at one point.
July 6th, 2020 at 11:14 am
Who cares what people think? Brady doesn’t keep throwing fuel onto the fire 🔥
July 6th, 2020 at 11:22 am
Tom Jones calling someone else arrogant…
Pot meet kettle.
July 6th, 2020 at 11:35 am
Joe, with all due respect….Who cares what this character has to say, he need to say this stupid things to stay relevant…..and the truth is this guy is irrelevant for the vast majority.,…
July 6th, 2020 at 11:37 am
JOe, with all due respect…Who cares what this character has to say about the Bucs or Tom Brady? He need to say this kind of remarks in order to stay relevant, and the truth is that nobody cares anywhere what this guy has to say
July 6th, 2020 at 11:38 am
Joe does.
Joe wouldn’t call 6,300 followers “nobody.”
July 6th, 2020 at 12:02 pm
With all due respect part 2.
If you worrie about what Tom Jones has to say about being arrogant on Tom Brady, I am worried about you…..
I really don´t care if he has 6300 followers or 1 million…Is a stat that is irrelevant….Hoy many followers that Skip Bayless or Stephen A has?…And I really don´t care what he has to say about anything, because ther do tabloid Journalism…..is all crap!!!!

Just take a glance at T Jones twitter account. It’s loaded with his personal politics. Left wing, virtual signaling mindless repetition of received opinion. His arrogance knows no bounds. Is it really any wonder why the TBT and the legacy media are all begging for money to stay afloat? People are tired of their arrogance. It’s a shame but when it’s filled with preachy holier than thou types it really is inevitable.

Joe, the leader of the Tom Brady War is your buddy, the horrible, useless, putz Mike Florio.
July 6th, 2020 at 12:10 pm
Hey now, when Brady was a Patriot, ALL of us Joebucsfan readers had a pitchfork ready-to-go when Brady f~cked up in New England. Brady has always been a bit of an entitled rule-breaker. Its just that now he’s OUR rule-breaker, so here we are defending what we would have attacked only a year ago.
July 6th, 2020 at 12:13 pm
The reason is simple, us Bucs fans just aren’t used to it.
It’s TOM BRADY.
My guess is that EVERY qb in the league has been throwing to their teammates.
But now TOM BRADY is in Tampa.
He has never played for any other team, and he is the GOAT.
Every football fan in the world has had at least one conversation about this.
They might love it, they might hate it, they might not even care much… but EVERYONE has had at least one conversation about this.
That is why everyone in the media is reporting on it.
Bucs fans, it’s not surprising at all… we just aren’t used to the attention.
July 6th, 2020 at 12:43 pm
Brady will draw attention and I think he’ll be fine. Not his first time around the block, when the games begin all this won’t matter.

Eddie, and when the season is cancelled because of virus outbreaks nation-wide due to ignoring best practices (ex. MASKS!), maybe you will sing a different tune relating to mask scoff-laws. The US WILL NOT be back to anything near a norm until it dampens transmission rates. Similar to what (dare I say it) NY has done.

“My guess is that EVERY qb in the league has been throwing to their teammates.”
Exactly!

Meanwhile just down the road there are restaurants and bars FULL of people with no masks on eating, drinking and breathing heavily.
Just throw enough sh!t at a wall and eventually some will stick.

……………….
Unless it is an N95 mask it is nothing other than a false god.
These cloth masks don’t protect you ONE IOTA! All they do is say “Maybe I think I have the sickness and I am pretending that I care about you”
Jesus H. Christmas! SMDH

Seems to me like Tom Jones is the arrogant prick in this
July 6th, 2020 at 4:13 pm
@Tom Jones is just another virtue-signalling science denier happy to watch our Bill of Rights wash down the drain.
July 6th, 2020 at 4:14 pm
bucsfaninoregon …if the season doesn’t get cancelled….
Will you finally stfu about the virus?
July 6th, 2020 at 4:23 pm
Tom Jones, the guy who was really mad at Sandusky, not for didling kids but for tarnishing Joe Pa’s legacy.
July 6th, 2020 at 5:28 pm
Let’s add ‘media target’ to TB’s list of adjectives!
July 6th, 2020 at 8:19 pm
Its because the entire sporting world hates the Glazers.
July 6th, 2020 at 8:33 pm
Good for you Joe’s and I won’t be forgetting either. Tom Jones is exactly the kind of obnoxious douchebag that you don’t want your kids to grow up to be like. I trust very few media outlets (this great site being one of the few that I trust) and the TBT is outrageously biased towards one set of opinions and not worthy of blowing my nose with.

With all due respect your half right. It does take an N95 or better to protect the wearer. Probably requires a face shield as well.
But the masks we are being encouraged to wear isn’t to protect US…well at least not directly…it protects everybody around us in the event we have the virus. They wear their masks hopefully even though THEY are not protected by them they are protecting you and me.
I’m curious btw. I’m asking this in all honesty with no snark. Do we believe the media is faking all these interviews with Docs and Nurses from hospitals in the hot zones around the country.
Have millions of people…health care..media..friends and family all cooperated in a GRAND conspiracy to mess up the election? Really?

Isn’t a new trend. If you’re a GOAT , and you leave your original team; you’ll have to go through the “LeBron/Desicion/Hate” effects and just have to try to live with it.
July 7th, 2020 at 8:43 am
Darn it Joe!!! I had pretty much forgotten about Tom Jones. This will just add fuel to TB12’s inner fire, it’s how these guys are built. (Cross check Jordan, Michael )
July 7th, 2020 at 9:31 am
Tom Jones is a cry baby stuck in a mans body. You just reminded me of how much I can’t stand his commentary. He most definitely runs FROM the Squatch!
July 7th, 2020 at 10:43 am
Ha! Love it TB12 LOVES THE HATERS!! see that on his Instagram too!
July 7th, 2020 at 11:22 am
He’s the GOAT.
He will always be under the most scrutiny.
Better get used to it now fans.
July 7th, 2020 at 4:58 pm
@SPBF…….Sorry man I don’t politic. I have seen enough in my time of service to be that way. I haven’t voted since I was in my mid 20’s.
I am in a different spot than you guys right now. In a small tourist town like this one, est already at least .75 mil in the last month it is Inevitable that I will face it again. Already beat it once.
80% of the members in this town work in sales, service, or hospitality!
My son works at the T Shirt shop first one out of the Park!
He faces Hundreds of tourists a day without masks. Even though he is wearing a n95 You still take it off to eat or drink or whatever.
People running around with these flimsy cloth masks believing whatever they believe is ludicrous.
July 7th, 2020 at 5:00 pm
Oh and as far as your media question goes there is no Doubt that we are all being spoon-fed. Anyone who believes otherwise God help you.
