Bart Scott: 'Nothing tough about Tom Brady ... he looks like a dork' - CBSSports.com
Before Bart Scott became a studio host for CBS Sports' The NFL Today he spent 11 seasons with the Ravens and Jets where he had plenty of showdowns against the Patriots and Tom Brady.
Three weeks ago, after the Steelers had issues with their headsets in the season opener against the Pats, Scott said he wasn't surprised. And on Wednesday, Scott gave his unvarnished opinion of Brady, who at 38, remains one of the NFL's best quarterbacks.
“I respect Ben (Roethlisberger). Ben is a guy who can come sit at a table with any group on that team,” Scott said during an appearance on CBS Sports Radio. “He can go sit with the D-linemen, ‘What up Ben?' He's like one of us. He had a defensive mentality. He has a tough-guy mentality. There's nothing tough about Tom Brady. The toughest thing about Tom Brady is his chin because it has the dimple in it, which is characteristic of most super heroes. ...
"Come on man, Tom Brady doesn't think he's tough,” Scott said. “Gisele [Bundchen] doesn't think he's tough.
Listen, I respect him, but he plays the game differently. No different from the way Peyton Manning plays it, but listen, certain guys -- Steve McNair, tough guy. He was a guy that could hang with anybody.Listen, I respect Tom Brady, but when he does that he looks like a dork. How many times does he miss air high-fivers?"
"He's missed celebrations because he's just awkward," Scott continued. "He's a corn ball. You've seen him dance, he's a corn ball."
"It's fine, he's a cornball that was a sixth-round draft pick that became maybe the best quarterback in the history of football and he has a hot wife. He has a great life and he has a bunch of hardware. That's great.
But, does that not make you a corn ball? No, he's still a corn ball. I'm sure his teammates tell him he's a corn ball. It's fine, there's nothing wrong with being a corn ball.”
