If you love annoying sports arguments, then Colin Cowherd’s Twitter was the place to be Sunday night.
The FS1 talking head praised Tom Brady — and and took a dig at Aaron Rodgers — after the New England Patriots’ win over the Green Bay Packers at Gillette Stadium. And, unsurprisingly, Patriots haters were having none of it.
Here are Cowherd’s tweets:
Patriots: We are smarter than you. We will fool you. We will make fewer mistakes than you. You will make excuses. Rinse and repeat.

“But, but Rodgers is outplaying Brady”. Uh, who cares? I don’t play fantasy football. Never have. I’m old school, I care who actually wins the game.

You know where this is going.
Here’s some of the reaction:

I'm glad Tom Brady forced that fumble on Aaron Jones and threw that pass to James White. All after being stopped 4 straight times at the one and 7 consecutive incomplete passes. Oh and a roughing the punter call. Good work.

Noah well he cheated for 3 of the 8 so it’s more like 2 wins and 5 appearances which is not unspectacular. You actually can not deny it because it’s been proven

Thank you for admitting Aaron Rodgers is better, that is what the argument is about. We all know both are great and Tom has accomplished more. Who is a better player? Hats off to New England, they are great, but Aaron is the best I have ever seen period

Are you sick of this Brady vs. Rodgers talk yet, football fans?
Listen, it’s not complicated: Brady is more consistent, more accomplished and a better leader than Rodgers. He’s the greatest quarterback of all time, and it’s not as close as many would like to believe.
But that’s not a slight against Rodgers. The Packers signal-caller is vastly more talented than his Patriots counterpart, and you easily can make the case that his accomplishments would rival Brady’s if the Packers front office and coaching staff weren’t stuck in the mid-2000s.
Both players are all-time greats, OK? Now, let’s shut up and move on to Week 10.
