“#Is it time for Jets fans to accept Tom Brady as the GOAT?<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

NFL golden boy Tom Brady has been torturing Jets fans for 20 years, covering four presidents and a pandemic.<\/p>\n

Diehards thought their pain was over when the aging New England Patriots quarterback went to Florida, like many retirees.<\/p>\n

Except his game<\/a> didn\u2019t go South. <\/p>\n

The 6-foot-4 hunky hubby of supermodel Gisele Bundchen<\/a> has reinvented himself as the swashbuckling leader of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and on Sunday Brady will go for his unfathomable seventh NFL title in his 10th Super Bowl, against the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Jets fans and New Yorkers everywhere now face a conundrum: Is it time to forgive, forget and finally root for the GOAT?<\/p>\n

Buc, no!<\/p>\n

Jets fans have never made peace with their pigskin pariah \u2014 who has compiled a hammer vs. nail 29-7 regular season record against Gang Green.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a cheater and will always be. He should have an asterisk after his\u00a0stats,\u201d opined rabid Jets rooter Maureen Donnelly, referring to the infamous deflategate scandal \u2014 a\u00a0damning NFL report\u00a0that concluded the cunning QB knew footballs were being illegally deflated so he could grip them better during the 2015 AFC Championship game. <\/p>\n

Brady\u2019s ethical fumbles aren\u2019t the only thing that grinds Donnelly\u2019s gears. \u201cHe looks like a Ken Doll,\u201d said the 47-year-old Staten Island bar manager. \u201cThat alone makes you want to punch him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donnelly said she\u2019s skipping the Super Bowl, and hopes Brady \u201cgets sacked four times and throws four picks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bill Dertinger, a legal-services exec from Staten Island and Jets season ticket holder since 1975, said, \u201cAll isn\u2019t forgiven because he is still winning. \u2026 I was there for his first game and unfortunately I have suffered at his hands for a very long time. What irks me the most is that stupid smirk on his face. Just can\u2019t stand his smug grin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Montclair, NJ, resident and season ticket holder Tim Barr will never forgive Brady for spoiling many a Sunday \u2014 and Thanksgiving 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe left my parents\u2019 house in upstate New York so we could get to the Jets-Pats game [at MetLife Stadium]. \u2026 Not only did we miss the pumpkin pie, we were treated to a hot steaming mess of Buttfumble!\u00a0Brady ruined our Thanksgiving, I PO\u2019d my parents and the Jets were out of the game in the second quarter!\u201d <\/p>\n

The infamous \u201cButtfumble\u201d game \u2014 when Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez\u2019s face collided with the caboose of his own offensive lineman, forcing a turnover touchdown \u2014 was voted the NY sports \u201cdebacle of the decade.\u201d The Pats crushed the Jets 49-19.<\/p>\n

Ironically, The Jets were responsible for the rise of their most hated rival. During a Sept. 23, 2001 game at the Meadowlands, Jet linebacker Mo Lewis put a bone-crunching hit on Patriots QB Drew Bledsoe, knocking him out of the game. In came a skinny, inexperienced, sixth-round draft pick replacement: Tom freakin\u2019 Brady. <\/p>\n

The rest is misery.<\/p>\n

\u201cTalk about a Pyrrhic Victory. We won that game [10-3] but then he [Brady] goes 11-3 and wins the Super Bowl and he has haunted us ever since,\u201d lamented Dertinger.<\/p>\n

Even Tom Brady is rooting against Tom Brady.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s like a bad rash that keeps coming back,\u201d said Brady, 25, of Point Pleasant. The Jets die-hard \u2014 who makes his dough at a pizzeria \u2014 would rather \u201cjuggle knives or gulp wasabi\u201d than root for his namesake. \u201cHe\u2019s always surrounded by great players and coaches. He doesn\u2019t know what it\u2019s like to struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are other reasons for Jet fans to root against the Bucaneers Sunday. They might want to embrace opposing Chiefs\u2019 quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who grew up in the NY Mets\u2019 dugout as a kid while his dad pitched for the team. And they wouldn\u2019t wish success upon the Bucs\u2019 defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, who ran the Jets into the ground during a putrid, 24-40 four-year tenure as Jets head coach.<\/p>\n

But Brady is still the biggest reason to boo the Bucs.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jay P. Granat, a psychotherapist who has worked with Olympic athletes, understands why Gang Green fanatics want Brady to fail.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to be either a glutton for punishment or love the color green to be a Jets fan,\u201d he said. \u201cIn contrast, Brady has been enormously successful for 20 years. And he\u2019s talking about playing for five more years. The Jets haven\u2019t even had the same quarterback for five years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shrink advises Jet fans to try to mellow out Sunday: \u201cLook, it\u2019s not life or death, it\u2019s sports. Have a little perspective.\u201d <\/p>\n

Easy for Granat to say. He\u2019s a Giants fan. They beat Brady twice in the Super Bowl.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
