When David Ortiz scores points in Boston thanks to Tom Brady

Tom Brady, in his role as an analyst, was asked to comment on the Super Bowl game. And what he said did not make Boston sports fans happy.

What did he say? That he didn't have a favorite for the Super Bowl and that the best team should win.

What insulted the people of Boston was that the legendary Patriots player didn't want to take a stand. Many people in Boston didn't like seeing Brady detach himself from his past.

In fact, many people said that David Ortiz, who also works in television, was very… passionate when it came to talking about the Red Sox during the last playoff run.

If David Ortiz ever acted towards the Red Sox how Tom Brady has acted towards the Patriots this past week, I don't think I would ever emotionally recover. Thank God Papi is a real one.

The Yankeeess lose: it made headlines around the world last October.

In fact, Big Papi is being praised by Boston fans because, unlike Brady, he reacted to defend the club that made him a sports star.

Tom Brady on whether he's rooting for the Patriots in the Super Bowl: “I have no dog in the fight. May the best team win.”

What you need to know, however, is that Tom Brady can't take sides, as he is a shareholder in the Raiders. He can't cheer for any team other than his own.

It's only logical.

We can understand that it's not easy for Boston fans. That said, Brady has chosen an entrepreneurial path, while Ortiz is 100% in the entertainment business.

But between you and me, Brady is surely rooting for the Pats in tonight's game. It's just that, on the heels of this controversial Super Bowl on many levels, it doesn't take much for some people to react emotionally.
