Former NFL linebacker Bart Scott is having a hard time setting aside his biases in his current job as an NFL analyst. It makes for #hottaeks, but it may not make his current employer happy.

Scott, who last week said he’s rooting for Eagles coach Chip Kelly to lose every game, sounded off this week on Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, initially by comparing him to Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

“Ben is a guy who can come sit at a table with any group on that team,” Scott said, via WEEI.com. “He can go sit with the D-linemen, ‘What up Ben?’ He’s like one of us. He had a defensive mentality. He has a tough guy mentality. There’s nothing tough about Tom Brady. The toughest thing about Tom Brady is his chin because it has the dimple in it, which is characteristic of most superheroes.”

Scott also called Brady a “cornball,” making fun of him for looking “like a dork” when trying to give high fives.

“You’ve seen him dance, he’s a cornball,” Scott said. “It’s fine, he’s a cornball that was a sixth-round draft pick that became maybe the best quarterback in the history of football and he has a hot wife. He has a great life and he has a bunch of hardware. That’s great. But does that not make you a cornball? No, he’s still a cornball. I’m sure his teammates tell him he’s a cornball. It’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with being a cornball.”

Like Brady or dislike him, we should all aspire to be that type of a cornball in football or any other line of work. In fact, many of the people who don’t like Brady feel that way because of the success he’s had.

So if being the guy Brady has become comes with being a “cornball,” a “dork,” and/or not “tough,” plenty of non-cornball, non-dorky, tough guys would sign up for that, immediately.
