The epic Brady Vs. Manning matchup for the AFC championship is under away Sunday. As players usually try to avoid giving the opposing team any extra motivation especially Tom Brady.
Defensive end Antonio Smith has disregard to that as he takes a shot at Brady. According to The Gazette when Smith was asked If Tom Brady A Crybaby? He didn’t holdback on his response “That would be an accurate statement. I’ve never seen any quarterback look to the referee right after he gets sacked more than Brady,” Smith said, per The Gazette. “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 also took a jab at Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger last week as he accused Roethlisberger for playing a “Jedi Mind Trick” with his shoulder injury. Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall also took a shot at tight end Rob Gronkowski says that he “pushes off defenders”
Smith tried to ease up of his comments but then threw another jab at Brady. “He’s not going to rattle just because you hit him hard. I’ve tried over the years,” Smith said. “That’s what D-linemen think: ‘The harder you hit the quarterback, the better it will make it on the secondary.’
“With Brady, he’s a great competitor. You know it’s coming. He’s going to cry about getting hit, but he’s going to take the hit and keep going.”
Tom Brady will never make it public but you can bet the 4-time superbowl champion is looking at this for a little motivation as he tries to go for back to back super bowls.
