An important distinction: it could always change but Tom Brady is an AUTHENTIC weirdo, not a weirdo who parrots things. Aaron Rodgers mindlessly repeats the talking points of the day while Tom Brady will never use warm water because he thinks it destroys his enzymes. Tom Brady is worthy of respect - ThreadSky

yeah we’ve heard the same Rogan Bro bigotry from so many people at this point

at least when Brady was in the news for being a quack it was for innovative garbage like “drinking water prevents sunburn”

Rodgers is a guy we all encounter on social media 473 times a day

New Study Shows Tom Brady Kisses His Son On The Mouth Not Long Enough

A notable transplant to Florida during the pandemic that was actually still successful and didn't get his brain even more cooked in the process.

Tom brady's obsession with large men when he announced the super bowl this year really made him more endearing

wincetoldme.bsky.social•7 days ago

Brady is a wild case. I remember him talking about how he drinks two gallons of water a day, and health specialists had to warn people not to imitate him because that's an insane amount of water to drink every day.

Also Brady's crackpot stuff seems to work, at least for him??

Man who doesn’t eat strawberries and states he has “no desire to.” Vs. Man who broke his brain with Ayahuasca and is now psychically assailed by demons of his own creation.

And here’s the thing: Tom Brady could probably play football until he’s 55 years old. Aaron Rodgers is decaying. Proof is in the pudding. One avoids tomatoes the other avoids vaccines.

It’s wild how much he’s aged, that lack of sunscreen is brutal

humanistfromtx.bsky.social•7 days ago

Ehhhh the cowboys proved otherwise

x-the-owl.bsky.social•7 days ago

Brady is a dumb guy. Rodgers is a dumb guy who thinks he’s smart

brendelbored.bsky.social•7 days ago

Rodgers used to be smart though! He won Jeopardy! He’s been destroyed by the internet

rincewind.run•7 days ago

exactly

Brady is full of completely bonkers ideas but for whatever reason he was able to prolong his football career well past his contemporaries so it’s not like he ever encountered any evidence that he was wrong

his enzymes are still intact

Brady is an athlete. Superstition is common among athletes, because they are competitive and experience a lot of randomness. They optimize in any way they can from a noisy signal. They’re constantly pattern matching.

Rogers is just a garden variety conspiracy theorist.

"My precious enzymes."

I also thought that he needed Belichick more than the other way around 💀 lol, lmao

cmclay.bsky.social•7 days ago

so usain bolt had to have mcnuggets before big races bc placebo effect and ritual are v powerful things and i believe tom brady is such a genuine weirdo that he somehow managed to make every single aspect of his training/diet/life work like pre-race mcnuggets

sublimejah.bsky.social•7 days ago

When you have all the genetics and privilege plus the singular focus, things better go well or you really are a loser.

causamdicere.bsky.social•7 days ago

Aging athlete + supermodel really was a god-tier marriage for people with insane food takes

rincewind.run•7 days ago

alas he could not give up being a Football Sicko, the same thing that attracted her to him in the first place was their undoing

aryaxz.bsky.social•7 days ago

that and probably them being liable for jail after the whole sbf thing

gravetiller.bsky.social•7 days ago

A big part of Brady's longevity is how carefully he eats and his workout routine. He cares so much about his health that he listens to and works with actual experts.

rosedees.bsky.social•7 days ago

His weordness is prolly why he was so good at football and half explians why rogers plays at being a weirdo hoping it gives him the same powers.

voteblue4vr.bsky.social•7 days ago

Favre, Brady, Rodgers...you don't need to dissect their brains to realize CTE is a horrible disease.

lampsofgold.bsky.social•7 days ago

My running theory is being quarterback of the packers breaks your brain in the same way social media broke pundits brains, the constant attention and adoration in every part of your life confronted with a reality outside of that spins you out

lampsofgold.bsky.social•7 days ago

You live in a town two thirds of the year where the only thing is football and where you are universally recognized as the most important of the football boys, where even to the media you are the highest, I think it destroys brains as much as the cte does

captainruck.bsky.social•7 days ago

Plausible theory, hard to say because the sample size is so small. Not many teams get through a 30-year stretch with just two QBs. Let's keep an eye on Jordan Love and see what happens

lampsofgold.bsky.social•7 days ago

saw an instagram post that made it seem like he lives half the year in LA, which would be the best antidote under this theory

moosehawkins.bsky.social•7 days ago

Not a *lot* of respect, mind you

yadamy.bsky.social•7 days ago

I never liked the guy. Didn’t hate him. I’m not a football fan, but he seems to do ok live commenting on games. He does very well with one on one commentary.

But he truly seems like a personal weirdo. He knows what worked for him. He knows the game. He’s an odd nerd. And I hope, not pernicious.
