I have a theory. Maybe I’m wrong, and maybe it’s silly, but I’ve had it since, oh, Tom Brady stared hate-daggers through receiver Joey Galloway on the sideline during a game early in the 2009 season.
Galloway, you may recall, was an accomplished and utterly bewildered veteran receiver whose internal GPS never quite took him to the spot on the field that Brady expected him to be.
During a Week 3 win over the Falcons that season, in full view of the Fox television cameras, Brady lost patience and then his temper with the then-37-year-old receiver, screaming at him after a pass ricocheted off Galloway’s uncooperative hands in the red zone.
