Dexter Manley: Tom Brady 'can't even pack Joe Theismann's jock'

Former Washington Redskins defensive end Dexter Manley was up to his usual antics on Thursday morning, this time at the expense of Tom Brady.

Manley has been making media appearances in advance of NFL Network’s “A Football Life” feature on him, which will air on Friday evening. Those who are familiar with the two-time Super Bowl champion know how animated he can be. During an appearance on 106.7 The Fan, Manley unloaded on Brady.

“First of all let me tell you something, let me ask you guys a question: who would you take, Joe Theismann or Tom Brady?” Manley said, as transcribed by Dan Steinberg of DC Sports Bog. “I’m taking Joe T. I’ve got a guy [at work], he loves Tom Brady, and I think Tom Brady, I ain’t gonna go there, but Tom Brady can’t even pack Joe Theismann’s jock. This [co-worker], that’s all we debate all day is about Joe Theismann or Tom Brady. I think Tom Brady can’t pick up a first down. He has no athletic skills, he’s surrounded by good people, but the guy is in the toilet, in my opinion. In my opinion he’s in the toilet.”

He was just getting started. Manley also said he would rather have Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan than Brady.

“I’ll take Joe Theismann, I’ll take [Matt Ryan], anything over Tom Brady,” he added. “I’ll take Joe Theismann first, I’ll take Matty Ice second, and I might take Doug Williams third, but I’m not gonna take Tom Brady to lead my team nowhere. … Tom Brady is garbage. He can’t pick up a first down. He has no athletic skill. He’s surrounded by people, but Tom Brady is garbage. Garbage!!!!”

In fairness to Manley, Brady most certainly is not your guy if you don’t want a quarterback who can lead your team to six Super Bowls and win four of them.

As Steinberg noted, Manley also used a homophobic slur to describe Brady but the station wisely dumped it. You would think Manley would have learned his lesson with that stuff after the way he lost his job a couple of years back. Then again, this guy lives for blowing hot air. His comments weren’t really a surprise.
