Alright, let’s gab about somethin’ – who in the tarnation is the most hated fella in that there NFL? Now, I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’, just a regular gal watchin’ the games, but I hear things, you know? Folks get riled up somethin’ fierce over some of these players.
First off, lemme tell ya, it ain’t easy bein’ liked when you’re good. Take that Tom Brady fella. Folks either love him or hate him, no in-between. He’s won a whole heap of Super Bowls, and that just rubs some people the wrong way. They say he’s a cheater, they say he’s arrogant… Lordy, the things I hear! He’s been playin’ forever, seems like. Folks get tired of seein’ the same face winnin’ all the time, I reckon. So yeah, Tom Brady, he’s up there on the hate list, for sure.

Then there’s this Deshaun Watson fella. Now, he’s got a whole different kinda trouble. I ain’t gonna get into the details, but let’s just say he done some things that made folks mighty mad. And it ain’t just about football, see? It’s about how you treat people. So yeah, lots of folks got no use for him, no matter how good he throws a ball.
And don’t forget about them Dallas Cowboys. That there team, they got fans everywhere, but they also got a whole bunch of haters. It comes with the territory, I guess. When you’re always in the spotlight, folks gonna find reasons to pick at ya. That Dak Prescott, their quarterback, he gets a lot of flak. Some folks say he ain’t good enough, some folks say he’s overrated… It’s always somethin’ with them Cowboys.
- Tom Brady – Been winnin’ too long, folks are jealous
- Deshaun Watson – Got into big trouble, folks are angry
- Dak Prescott – Plays for the Cowboys, folks love to hate ‘em
Now, there are other fellas too. That Richard Sherman, he used to run his mouth somethin’ awful. Got on a lot of people’s nerves. And that Cam Newton, he was flashy, you know? Dancin’ and showin’ off. Some folks liked it, but some folks just couldn’t stand it. It’s all about personality, I guess.
And let’s not forget about them defensive fellas. The ones who hit hard, the ones who talk trash. They get under people’s skin real easy. Like that Eli Apple. I’ve heard some stories ‘bout him. Seems like he ain’t afraid to stir up trouble.
But here’s the thing, see? Sometimes, the hate ain’t really about the player themselves. Sometimes, it’s about the team they play for. Like I said, them Cowboys, they got a target on their backs. And them New England Patriots, when Brady was there, same thing. People just love to hate a winner, I reckon. Or maybe they just jealous.

And sometimes, it’s the media that stirs things up. They build these fellas up, and then they tear ‘em down. They make a big deal outta every little thing. And folks eat it up, you know? They start hatin’ a player they never even met, just because of what they heard on TV or read on the internet.
So, who is the MOST hated? Well, that’s hard to say for sure. It depends on who you ask. But if I had to guess, I’d say it’s probably a tie between Brady and Watson. Brady for bein’ too good for too long, and Watson for… well, you know. But like I said, I ain’t no expert. Just an old gal watchin’ the games.
The NFL and Hated Players: It’s a Complicated Thing
It ain’t just about football, see? It’s about personalities, it’s about rivalries, it’s about the media, and it’s about who we are as fans. We get attached to our teams, and we get riled up when someone messes with ‘em. And sometimes, we just need someone to root against, you know? It makes the game more interestin’, I reckon.
So next time you’re watchin’ a game and you hear folks booing a player, just remember, there’s probably a whole heap of reasons why. Some of ‘em are good reasons, some of ‘em are silly. But that’s the beauty of football, ain’t it? It brings out the passion in folks, for better or worse.

And that’s all I gotta say about that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about football has made me hungry!
