Scott Prather — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 17:15:36 +0000

This Kid Hates Tom Brady

Steve Peloquin — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 08:15:51 +0000

Want to see what Kevin Foote was like when he was young, and hated Fran Tarkenton!

This is video of a young boy, who obviously doesn't care for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

The kid, I assume, is probably a Philadelphia Eagles fan as well.

I love the part where his dad says; "He (Brady) might throw a pick", and the kid responds; "He never gives up a pick. All he does is throw touchdowns."

Yep....this is Kevin Foote in 1974!

This season, Brees, along with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady, of the New England Patriots, are all threatening to eclipse the 27 year-old mark.

So far this year, Brees has thrown for 3,326 yards in ten games, while Brady has passed for 3,032 yards in nine games, and Rodgers has accumulated 2,869 yards in nine games.

Steve Peloquin — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 07:45:59 +0000
