It's Week 7 and if you've been keeping track, the Douche of the Week has usually gone to a player who underperformed or a media blowhard that has no business talking about football. I'm changing things up a bit this week (it's my award and I do what I want). One might ask, "But Jim, why would you change something that is working so well?" If one might ask that, I might reply, "Because I'm sick of this mofo and I have a stage to say it." The Week 7 Douche of the Week is New England's poster boy, Tom Brady. Tom Brady followed up his Week 6 5 TD performance with a 6 TD performance against the lowly Miami Dolphins. Brady now has 29 touchdowns this season and is on pace to obliterate Peyton Manning's single season record of touchdown passes (49). He distributes the ball to all of his weapons and looks about as giddy as a schoolgirl in velcro panties while he sits in the pocket. While I think Brady is a talented quarterback, I don't think others on this team are getting the credit they deserve. Of course Brady has the luxury of throwing to Wes Welker, Dante Stallworth, and Ben Watson. He also has the pleasure of having Randy Moss for the deep ball. Just look at two of Brady's TD throws to Moss on Sunday. He threw into double coverage which his a total "no-no" in the NFL but because of Moss' extreme athleticism, he was able to pull both catches in. I give Moss 70% of the credit for those scores, but Brady gets the lime light. Many people are also forgetting that Brady has ALL DAY to make these throws. It's like playing Madden on the Easy level for him. Nobody is putting pressure on him and he's just playing catch with his many weapons. Think about when teams do get pressure on him. The Cowboys were able to get in there a couple of times and even forced Brady to fumble when they sacked him. Tell tale signs that Brady is not nearly as responsible for his stats as much as his teammates. Pats fans will most likely say, "Don't you listen to his post game remarks? He always credits his line and receivers." Yes, he does. And he does it with that same "I'm better than all of you" grin on his face the whole time. How about that 3-piece suit he wore in his post game press conference. Completed with the maroon hanky to perfectly match his tie. Is he a quarterback or a high profile defense attorney in Los Angeles? Let this Week 7's Douche be a beacon for all of football. You can be the worst starting QB in the league (Tavaris Jackson), the worst coach in the league (Scott Linehan), a decent player with an off week (Neil Rackers), or one could look at your face and see right through your attempt at being a Golden Boy. That would be you Tom Brady, and that is why in Week 7... you're a Douche.
