Brady Regrets Saying He "Sucked"

Mike Reiss/ESPN.com - Tom Brady regrets telling a national television audience that he "sucked" following New England's AFC Championship Game win over Baltimore.

Brady was widely quoted in the CBS interview as part of the team's postgame celebration.

"I wish I didn't say it because I didn't want to take away from what the team had accomplished, and certainly we had accomplished a lot to get to this point in this season, to beat a very good team in the AFC championship, to fight back like we did. We were down in that game. I think we proved how we're a pretty mentally tough team," Brady said.

He had been upset at himself for the two interceptions in the game.

"I feel like when you play a particular game like I did a couple weeks ago, quarterbacks never try to turn the ball over," he said. "If there is one thing that correlates more to winning games, it's turnovers. To turn the ball over two times like I did, I didn't feel like it was my best performance."

I don't mind it. I think saying he sucked only proved the team better. I mean, I know high school is nothing compared to the NFL, but as a QB, I know my teammates respected the fact I could say I sucked at something or had a bad game. I think it was a good leadership move by Brady, showing that even he isn't perfect and he knows he can improve.

Yeah, I don't really see the issue either. He played bad and called himself out.
