Tom Brady, The Goat
There you go. You can stop whining about it. I finally drew Tom Brady as the goat. I don’t know why so many people wanted me to call Tom Brady the Goat and draw him as such. I mean, I’m a big football fan, and I think I’m pretty aware of the in-jokes and nuances of the culture, but I still don’t get why so many fans are obsessed with letting everyone know that Tom Brady is a goofy farm animal that has weird and creepy eyes. I dunno, I’m starting to get slightly old, maybe this meme has passed me by. Lord knows I still think Crying Jordan was terrible. Tom Brady being a goat might just be another Crying Jordan.
Back in my day calling someone a goat meant “scapegoat”, which seems like something you wouldn’t want to be called? Tom Brady is a pretty good player, I can’t think of a game that he cost the Patriots. In fact I can’t remember a game where Brady was the reason the Pats lost, that seems like pretty bad scapegoat qualifications. Maybe that’s the joke? Scapegoats were victims that other people would blame and then shun, but Patriots fans are unable to blame Brady for anything and in fact probably want to have his babies, so he’s like an opposite goat? I guess I can see the irony there, haha. Nah, I din’t get it. The internet has passed me by.
Actually, maybe it all started because of This Picture.
Whatever, you got what you wanted: Tom Brady as a Goat. A circle jerk of confusion that has even led to an official version of Madden about it. Once mainstream media has a hold of a joke, the joke is officially dead. We should go back to the good old days, before this weird Goat nonsense. Back to when Tom Brady was just a backup under Drew Bledsoe and a little upstart transfer team called the Ravens was actually winning Super Bowls against the Giants. A team led by Trent Dilfer, the Greatest Of All Time.
“I don’t agree with that and I’ll tell you why,” Brady said. “I know myself as a player. I’m really a product of what I’ve been around, who I was coached by, what I played against, in the era I played in. I really believe if a lot of people were in my shoes they could accomplish the same kinds of things. So I’ve been very fortunate.” – Tom Brady on whether or not Tom Brady is the greatest QB ever

If Tom Brady says Tom Brady isn’t the greatest and that he’s only done what he has because of where he is, who are we to argue? Trent Dilfer confirmed for GOAT by Tom Brady himself.
This is legitimately one of my favorite comics you’ve ever done. I always love it when you figure out the perfect amount of dumb to inject into a joke and this is a fine example right here.
Dilfer? You mean the overrated GOAT. Flacco is (not) the GOAT
Go Stilers
Ben Stiller’s family?
I knew it, Tom Brady is a furry!
Howay the Curse.
It’s not a meme. The GOAT is what Gruden used to call Jerry Rice, cos he was (and still is) the Greatest of all Time.
Jim Brown
Rice is the greatest WR of all time, Brown is the best RB of all time, that said you can’t really have a greatest in all of football as the position roles are soo different. I would say pre merger (NFL/AFL) the best QB was Otto Gram, but Quarterbacking is so different now that you have to count that separately from Super Bowl era QBs. Without a doubt at this point the best post merger QB is Brady.
For defense, Lawrence Taylor.
I agree with most things you said, but the greatest quarterback pre-merger is Sammy Baugh. He (In one year) Lead the league in passing yards, completion percentage, punting yards, and interceptions caught. In a different year, he lead the league in completion percentage with a 70.3 passing percentage, where the average was around 35 (1945). This would be like Sam bradford(Last years leader in completion percentage) posting a 131.06.
I’m disappointed that you didn’t make a joke regarding the era about players playing 2 ways. If Baugh throws a pick, he can get it back on the next play.
Best RB is Walter Payton, hands down. It’s not even close.
We all know the GOAT is Ralph Blancha or Kyle Shanahan
Kyle Shanahan cannot be the goat a goat would run the dang ball.
Watch their game against the Chiefs in 2015(2014?) he gets benched mid game for his backup.
2014
He didn’t get benched. Belichick just pulled him because the game was out of reach and didn’t want Brady getting hurt.
In all seriousness, I agree, the crying Jordan meme is retarded. The fact that Yahoo Sports wanted to push it somehow lowers themselves by a slight amount which is difficult to do.
Someone should make a compilation vid of Tom Brady INTs, bloopers, etc. and insert the screaming goat after each one.
It would be a short video
Mostly filled with him in Miami, Denver, or in SBs vs. Elisha
Brady has had several 4-INT games in his career such as a game @ Kansas City in 2005, and in my book a 4-INT performance is almost always a “QB lost the game” type of performance. But I get what you’re saying, percentage-wise Brady has probably cost his team fewer games than almost anyone else, and you really don’t remember him throwing a game-losing interception.
And what the heck is up with you wanting to go back to a time when your Giants got curb-stomped in the Super Bowl? I guess that’s the respect that the GOAT demands. You’d even watch your team get blown out to watch him play, lol.
C’mon, Dilfer did what Brady couldn’t do, now that a GOAT.
With that said, I remember Brady’s game losing pick against the Colts when the Pats let them come back from a large deficit in the AFC in 2007. Not as bad as what the Falcons would go on to do a decade later but still.
As the Mexican delegation of Goats, we denounce and reject any species association with the impostor, Tom Brady, and support Trent Dilfer’s bid as The GOAT.
OMG, this is the funniest thing I have ever seen.
God damn, that is hilarious. My sides.
Shawn Springs > Bernard Pollard
This is so cringe
We get it, you don’t think Brady is the greatest
I’ve never heard anyone Say Tom Brady is the GOAT, He’s done a solid job, but we all know it’s Bledsoe’s when he gets back from his injury
Yahoo Answers is a gold mine.
