I have done some trolling, but it was years back. A few of you probably know I was Chowdahead back on the old Indystar forum. Most of the time, I was basically a friendly troll (I'd try not to cross the line too often).
As for the avatar, it is funny, but it also is trolling. FWIW, it doesn't bother me at all, but I'm sure some of the more sensitive posters don't like it.
The only thing I'll point out is that Brady really doesn't cry, and to be honest, he's one of the toughest QBs out there. Middy's hyperbole has this way of keeping me from saying too many good things about Brady, but I really do understand how lucky we were to have gotten him.
He does get angry, though.
