Tom Brady witnesses deadly Boston blaze, calls firefighters ‘the real heroes’ | For The Win

Tom seems to carry himself arrogantly. Good to see that he can be realistic.

What is he being realistic about?

A lot of Pros and celebrities are to about them self to make statements like this. Most of the celebs don't care about this.

Well, hopefully it didn't take him to witness a fire to understand this.

Tom Brady couldn't possibly be as bad as he seems, because he seems like a really, really, really big douche. And him calling firefighters heros is what just about anyone would say in that situation.

Yes he is.

Honestly Brady's about the most humble, down to earth superstar I've ever watched in my life. All of the magazine shoots and what not are annoying as hell, but then you listen to him on his regular interviews on WEEI over the years and he is incredibly respectful, deferential toward teammates and coaches, and humble.

I don't get the Brady hate. I'm a fan.

He's always seemed like a pretty cool guy to me. As previously mentioned he looks to be a respectful, decent guy when I've seen him in interviews and such. I know a kid that played with him in New England and had great things to say about him as well. I'm a Giants fan but appreciate what the man has done on the field and respect that. This event clearly hit close to home for him and seeing a wind driven fire with that intensity burning right in front of you where people lost their lives is tough to witness. May the brothers in Boston rest in peace.

Tom Brady is involved in several charity endeavors here in New England and he does not need to be if he wanted to be a high minded celebrity. He is not a bad guy at all. I don't know why people would think that.

Yeah, I don't get hating on Brady's personality. He's the ideal Belichick-player in front of the media, he never says anything controversial in the slightest.

This is a tag I understand less and less as I get older. Most celebrities grow up in middle America and understand how much luck is involved in how they got to "the top."

This. And anyone in his position would take advantage of many of the same opportunities if they were presented (re. shoots, mags, etc.).
