I think that if a player actually did make a dirty hit on Brady that knocked him out for the rest of the season and possibly even his career, the backlash against him and his team would swamp the current antipathy directed toward the Pats right now - especially if it came out that a coach directly ordered for the hit. Run up the score or not, there is no place in sports for dirty hits that could result in serious injury. None, whatsoever. Anyone who says a serious hit designed to inflict debilitating injury on Brady or anyone else on the team is justified totally lacks perspective on the situation. This sort of unsportsmanlike conduct simply dwarfs anything the Pats are doing on or off the field.

And with evidence of a deliberate attempt, I would expect the NFL to rain down heavily on the dirty player and the team. Brady is one of the faces of this league and one of its biggest draws/money-makers. They would be none too pleased.

yeah probably, but it wouldn't make the patriots any less of the idiots they'd be, or their fans for advocating this nonsense. it'd be like if you got into a pickup basketball game with a 6-5, 250 pound street thug, managed to beat him, rubbed it in his face, then whined when he knocked out all your teeth and left you with a fractured eye socket. i guarantee you if brady does get injured on some late hit the righteous anger we are going to see from patriots fans is going to make us all puke...
