‘Bradying’ Web Meme Mocks Patriots QB Tom Brady After Super Bowl Defeat

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – You know you’re having a bad week when:

After being hailed as perhaps the greatest quarterback of the current era, you get your team all the way to the Super Bowl only to ultimately fall short on a desperation Hail Mary throw in the last play of the game.
After losing the game, your gorgeous, gazillionaire, super model wife throws the rest of your team under the bus for the loss.
The picture of you sitting with your hands between your legs, humbled after the epic loss, becomes a web meme mocking your sorrow.

Let’s face it: It has not been a good week for Tom Brady. And while many New Yorkers will likely mutter “Good” when thinking about that, it seems like the hits are just going to keep on coming for the superstar athlete.

“Bradying” seems to be the latest meme to hit the internet. While “Bradying,” a subject is shown sitting on the floor, legs stretched out, with their hands folded between their legs. The head is bowed.

This shot of Tom Brady is from 2010, but it shows him perhaps practicing for his iconic 'Bradying' pose. (credit: Al Bello/Getty Images)

“Bradying” looks to take over where “Tebowing” left off. “Tebowing,” of course, was taking a picture of yourself in Tim Tebow’s iconic kneeling pose after scoring a touchdown.

There’s even a website dedicated to “Bradying.” You can check it out here.

What do you make of “Bradying?” Let us know, or upload your picture of you “Bradying” to our Facebook page.

Anyone who knows anything about football and the TRULY GREAT football players; knows the pic taken on September 20, 1964 of Y. A. Tittle as a NY Giant QB. The pic is I believe called the “Fallen Giant” – that photo shows a future HOF who is totally spent and defeated – now that’s so much better than “Tewbowing” and “Bradying” will ever be. (BTW YA Tittle was inducted into the HOF with a class which is arguably one of the greatest of all HOF classes ever i.e. Jim Brown). Most of today’s pro QBs can’t even carry YA’s cleats!

YES, SIR…

…you are so correct. that tittle picture has stood the test of time. like any great photograph it speaks volumes even if it didn’t have a caption.

Typical of Patriots haters (especially NY) Tom Brady’s haters make fun of and mock him when he is experiencing a crushing defeat. I shall give all you haters fair warning…..you’re dancing on very thin ice.
Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; Proverbs 24:17

mark

your team cheats. they have accomplished nothing after being exposed. thin ice indeed.

sweeper2010

Accomplishe nothing?
No no….you have the Patriots mixed up with the Colts (2-14)

John

Giants beat the Patriots 2 super bowls in a row where they were matched up, and I seem to remember them beating them twice during the season as well.

Can’t it just be laid to rest that the Giants are a superior team?

(I am no fan of either team)

Joe Blocks

The Giants were lucky both times. That simple. They suck

LV32

The World Chamions suck? How about this one…. You suck! Yes.. I like this better… Asswipe…

Harry

Please stop calling them World Champions. When you only play teams from your country it doesn’t count, the rest of the world is laughing at you.

Brad

And we laugh at the rest of the world.

The term “World Champions” is meant to denote that there is no better team in that particular sport in the world. This means that they should change the term in baseball (there may be superior teams elsewhere in the world than those lucky jokers from St. Louis, but there is no team in American Football for the year 2011 than the New York Giants.

Hence, the NY Giants are the World Champions of American Football.

BTW, I HATE the Giants, just a liitte less than the Patsies….

Brad

Sorry, I meant “no team in the world, that plays American Football, that is superior for the year 2011 than the New York Giants.”

KPMc

When the rest of the world fields an american football team maybe you have a point.

mark

lucky….please. the pats had to cheat to ‘win’

spygate. learn it.

Jason Civilian

spygate was about them getting caught breaking a rule. what they did gave no real advantage and it was something many other coaches were doing and have done for many years. Jimmy Johnson said he was taught to do it as well but he didn’t think it helped him. There were other accusations that the patriots filmed the Rams walkthrough before the superbowl but those allegations were never substantiated.

looks like you are the one who knows nothing about spygate.

Jerry Irwin

I agree Joe. Both games could have gone either way. Welker catches that pass
the giants would be moaning and crying in their beer. Brady also played the 4th. quarter hurt. I knew he was hurt when he was dumped on his shoulder.
Tom Brady has more class than the whole giant team. Non cap. not a mistake.
To kick Tom when he is down shows how low class the giants and their fans are. If the game had gone the other way, the Pats would not be crowing the way the giants and their fans are. It just shows that they are not used to winning and when they luck out they act like jerks.

Joe

Did you forget about the fainting Giants???

Maybe you should know what you’re talking about before you open your mouth. Besides, The Manning face is much funnier. http://www.manningface.com/

jen

you do know it is just football???
JimTx

Why NY? Giants are a NJ team like Nets, Devils, or Jets. Only NY NFL team is Buffalo.

KPMc

… and the

Yankees
Mets
Rangers
Islanders
Knicks

and the Nets will be back in NY next season.

Christie: the Governor that ate NJ

Listen Teblow jr..you can spout proverbs till they are coming out your azz….

THE GIANTS WON and the Patsy’s lost….’nuff said!

Ryan

Yea memes have definitely become memes. It is a sign of our cultural decay…

Prepare your family for the looming apocalypse I guess.

Ted Peters

As an old f*rt I’m delighted to learn a new word today… even if I appear to be several months late on this. But now I wonder if memes themselves have become memes?
BigHat

Just a bunch of losers from New York (is that redundant?) that jump at the chance to revile Brady. He has a loooong way to fall before he becomes Mr Interception Manning. Of course, sitting around eating Cheeto’s in your Mom’s basement jerking to internet porn would also make them jealous of a guy banging a super model too. It’s expected.
Next year the Pat’s will be back in the hunt. Giants? Probably not. They’ll implode. They were only lucky to begine with and with ego issues, it’s over for them for a decade.

LittleHat

I bet you can make some great wine with those sour grapes.
Craig

No matter whatever happens going forward, we SPANKED YOU in Two Super Bowls ended your perfect season, ended your 20 game home winning streak and ended your most recent 10 game winning streak…Sounds like you have a LOT OF ISSUES…Guess you NEED A BIG HAT FOR THAT BIG HEAD OF YOURS….You Have My Prayers…LOSER…

sweeper2010

What’s this “WE” stuff. You were sitting at home or a watering hole on your “holier than thou big butt” ..stuffing your big mouth full of nachos…slurping beer and belching. I bet your dribbled your slop on the front of your Giants shirt. LOL

mark

calling others haters while hating on Manning. hypocrite much?

the Pats suck. they cheat. end of story

Raymond Holland

one pass more or less and Brady would own a new CAR!!!
rick

i thought the girls from New York were very nice and friendly.. they should put a uniform on Gisele…she could be the ultimate distraction…the opposing defense would tackle her..whether she had the ball or not…
Mike Stidham

I’m actually a Colts fan. I root for them (not that Eli’s brother and the boys have given me much to root for this year) and whoever’s playing the Patriots. After listening to three hours of Super Bowl Sunday with the sycophantic announcers singing the praises of the great Tom Brady right up to the last throw, this is ironic and poetic justice. Giselle’s post-game tantrum didn’t make me any more sympathetic.
Matt Caruso

Why are you taking stories from Chris Chase at Yahoo Sports? He’s terrible. You guys are better than this.

Joe Bite-me

This clown is just one more hack trying to latch onto Tebow to make a name for himself. Big difference here, Brady is a loser, with a sore-loser wife, while Tebow is a winner who only sees football as a game, and not the ‘end-all’ like most of these pretty-boy spoiled NFL players.

skentsan

That’s a really fun post. Now back on your meds.

HoDown

It looks like the wife is not the only sore loser, guess the Braydee jock-sniffers are texting in class today

Bob Forsberg

Evenly matched game, one luckier than the other. I’m a life long Giants fan, but neither team was a standout against the other. Both great quarterbacks and a great game.

Kevin Pearson

Neither team deserved to win. The Giants deserved to lose after burning that timeout to save a delay of game penalty just to lose 5 yards on a false start.
The Pats deserved to lose because of losing that time out on that stupid challenge and by the stupid play calling at the 4 minute mark which resulted in the clock being stopped.
On that one interception, it looked like Brady had enough room to pick up at least 6 yards if just had just tucked the ball in and ran for it. Not a first down but it would have been a decent gain.

SerfCityHereWeCome

Time to bench Mr. Bundchen and sign Ryan Leaf.
mike

In the offseason Brady should teach his wife to catch a football.
jeffo

stay home new yorkers, nobody likes you or your big mouths. tired of seeing that rathole city and it is a rathole on my television.

skentsan

Is it just me or does NYC smell like a GIANT dog turd?

chipfields

A GIANT dog turd that just whipped the pretty boys patsies twice in the only game that matters
KPMc

no… its you… take a bath already you stinky SOB.

Jim Alexander

Maybe he is thinking…”Maybe I am not as good as I thought I was”!!!!!!!

george

Or he was thinking to himself precisely the same thing his wife blurted out loud.

Maxwell Williams

New England can’t wait for the draft, they’re looking for a new videographer to help get them another Superbowl Win.
BxD

What a spoiled, little brat!
Deskboy

Brady is suffering the same affliction that Tony Romo had with Jessica Simpson. Could it be low T? Low Touchdown Count?
johneadie

pppretty dumb to harp on it
stoptouchingthatmabel

Everyone has an Achilles heel and the Pats are Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin.
i effed your mom

comments here are typical of nancy-boys who have never played a sport in their lives.

Rush

As compared to internet tough guys who choose a puerile handle like “i effed your mom”?

Puhleeeeeeeeeeeeze…
joey

Yeah, your moniker really makes your point, dumbazz, did you forget to change monikers before posting? Or did you mean to sign, ” i effed my mom”?

teaj

yea… I can see this taking off.
Paul

Giants fans and New Yorkers in general are the rudeist and most classless people in the US. We hate it when you come to the south. Your big arrogant mouths keep all of us laughing behind your backs. Everywhere I’ve lived in the country people feel the same way. Just stay in your own state and annoy each other

Ryan

I am from the south and I love the Giants and New Yorkers, the intelligence is refreshing something the south seems to have a relative drought of.

teaj

you’re from new york.
you hung yourself

ryan, your comment is quite exemplary of the drought. thanks for playing.

Christopher

Paul, don’t lump us all in , or I’m afraid I’m going to have to call you a slowtalking retarded inbred who loves budweiser, nascar, and war.

Rush

Hey Christopher -

Barrett Jones called.

Something about him wanting to ensure that you deliver his pizza on time…
Paul

uhh yuah thats why all your retires move AWAY from NY. Couldn’t be the better people,weather,jobs,beauty etccc..NY is full of gov’t sucking libs who think they know everything. Surprise you don’t know sh%t

Bubba

I don’t hate when New Yorkers come down South. They’re fun to pick on in bars and beat the tar out of. I can fit my whole fist in their big mouths…after their teeth are knocked out.

LV32

Bubba is an internet tough guy…. Just stay where youre at “Bubba”… Curious.. At night, do you lock the door on the double wide????

Rush

Don’t have to, LV -

The Son of Sam and his ilk prefer – thankfully – preying on your type.

Now, back to your 400 sq. ft apartment…

: – )

SerfCityHereWeCome

Paul is just about 100% correct…not necessarily about all Giants fans but about a HUGE majority of NYers in general…and I was born on the Upper East Side before fleeing to the Gulf Coast.

LV32

Stay there….

Joan Serrano Russo

Sounds like bitter grapes out there in Bloody Boston..We have the big mouths?? what about Giiselle Bundsen what a bitch putting her husbands team under the bus..You have it all wrong everyones laughting behind your backs at you fools
in Boston..Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!

Paul

Thats sour grapes moron. And Giselle is not from Boston. Oh and its throw under the bus not put them under. You speaka da inglis??

chipfields

OK, we’ll stay in our own state…..UNLESS INVITED TO PLAY IN THE SUPER BOWL

JimTx

Stay in your state you’ll never see Giants. Giants are a NJ team

JimTx

Funny part is Giants are a NJ team. Where exactly is East Rutherford in NY?

YankeeI

Typical of the way the country is headed. Whining, pouting and crying instead of praying, fighting back and standing tall!

Ropeless Homantic

he’s whining, pouting and crying? really? no. not really. he took a moment after losing the biggest game in the world. it’s a feeling you will never get to experience. his after game interviews were solemn, yet congratulatory to the game well played by the giants. you’re just a moron. next…

Jeff

Looks like a crybaby having a temper tantrum!

The Pats stunk it up and he’s crying about it.

huh?

temper tantrum? he’s just sitting on the ground looking down. you new yorkers are hilarious.
sweeper2010

There’s a “disgusting odor” coming from you also ….eeccckkk
Mike

Looks more like a guy who is placing the blame for this loss squarely upon himself actually. Crap on him all you want, but we’ve all been there in our own lives – some of us for much worse than losing a game. I suppose you have to have half a heart and a quarter brain to understand how that feels, which is why folks from the cesspool of America (NY) would rather just gloat. Try to remember the biggest choke in Professional Sports history (2004 Yankees) and it will help you remember.

chipfields

wow, you have to go back 8 years to find something on NY…..we only have to go back three days to remind you WE ARE THECHAMPIONS!!
JimTx

NY’rs are notoriously poor winners/poor losers it’s a lack of character

Eli

Giants fans suckle on hairy scrotums
Anatole Pushkin

Now we know why Giantw won. They are not cry babies.

Ryan

Haha, this is classic. Go GIANTS!

Don’t rely on the federal government for disaster relief, are you prepared for anything that could happen?
