Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are set to face Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game. However, defensive lineman Antonio Smith may be bringing Brady tissues after saying the four-time Super Bowl champion quarterback is a crybaby.
“That would be an accurate statement. I’ve never seen any quarterback look to the referee right after he gets sacked more than Brady. Every time he gets sacked, he looks at the ref like, ‘You see him sack me? Was that supposed to happen? He did it a little hard. Please throw a 15-yard penalty on him. Get him fined,” Smith told reporters Monday.
Antonio Smith wasn’t the only Broncos player with an opinion regarding Brady. On Tuesday, defensive lineman Malik Jackson echoed Smith’s statements in an interview with NBC Sports’ “Pro Football Talk Live” radio show.
Jackson stated, “I mean, when we played him, he definitely threw some temper tantrums. It’s one of those things that you know. He definitely [says], ‘What’s going on? Why?’ Definitely one of those whiners that whines, but it’s a competitive game. I know I wouldn’t be whining like that, but some people do. So he’s definitely a whiner but he’s actually a big-time player, competitor, too.”
There’s no denying both teams are very competitive whenever they face one another, so things will be very interesting come Sunday.
