Malik Jackson: Tom Brady is a ‘whiner’ and ‘competitor’
The Denver Broncos are giving Tom Brady some fuel entering Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.
First you had Antonio Smith saying Brady has “crybaby” tendencies. Then defensive end Malik Jackson, who has 45 tackles and five sacks this season, called Brady a whiner.
“I mean when we played him he definitely threw some temper tantrums,” Jackson said in an interview on “PFT Live” Tuesday. “It’s one of those things that you know. He definitely [says], ‘What’s going on? Why?’ Definitely one of those whiners that whines but it’s a competitive game. I know I wouldn’t be whining like that, but some people do. So he’s definitely a whiner but he’s actually a big time player, competitor, too.”
People have long been saying that Brady whines to the refs and complains to them. Heck, why not? When you’re Brady sometimes all it takes is a little bit of whining to the refs to get calls your way. That’s what Terrell Suggs has been complaining about forever.
Again, it’s just not a good idea to give a guy like Brady any extra motivation entering a big game.
