He sounds like a combination of Jame Gumb and Andre The Giant.

Great psychological trick...Tom Brady's good at throwing bouquets before the game. Softens guys up a little I think...Luck would be that ultra supportive coach, I could see him coaching one day. "Great hit Johnny!"

It's pretty hard to really want to kill a guy who tells you how good a football player you are when you hit him.

When New England pass rusher Rob Ninkovich pulverized Luck last month in a Patriots 42-20 win, he got the customary congratulations. As Ninkovich tells it, he found himself paralyzed with confusion by the well-wishes, so he blurted out Thanks for...uh...accepting that hit? before running back to the huddle.

In a testosterone laden world of pro football, this would be the same as talking actual trash to your co workers in the office. It would confuse and scare the hell out of people.
