competitors, incompetent league officials and millions of fans of other teams who didn't let the real lack of any evidence determine their jealous loser fantasies, the case against him leapt out of court once and surely will be again next year. but the continuing campaign to defame and belittle brady and his accomplishments raises a question, where is all this hate coming from? after all, as a public figure over the past 15 years, tom brady has never been less than a first class act. zero arrests, total professionalism on the job, notable devotion to charitable work and compassionate interactions with fans during off hours. his scandal-free private life appears to involve total commitment to family, what more do people want? there's an old saying of undetermined origin, quote no deed goes unpunished.
