From NY Daily News
One mouth ain't dropping to his knees and genuflecting - ESPN's Mike Ditka. Shortly after New England whipped Pittsburgh, Ditka was on "SportsCenter" trashing Brady, basically calling him a thin-skinned jerk, for getting in the face of Steelers safety Anthony Smith (last week he "guaranteed" a Pittsburgh win) after hitting Randy Moss with a 4-yard TD pass.
Ditka, never known for concealing anger, wondered if "Johnny Unitas" or "Bart Starr" would react to comments voiced by a backup player with just two years in the league. Brady, Ditka said, has a severe case of "rabbit ears."
"Don't worry about the opponent, and what he said, because what he (Smith) said, he's got to back (it) up," Ditka explained. "That kid had no ability to back it up. Brady should have brushed it off as nothing.
"So," Ditka continued, "(for Brady) to take it to another degree, to acknowledge it, you're just as wrong as him."
See, in Ditka's world, a flawless season cannot cover up the character flaws of the quarterback engineering it.
