I can't really think of any more (personally, I don't believe Brady gets the protected, "double standard treatment").


For the most part, I believe that most players, especially QBs, would get treated very similar.


Rich Eisen said it perfect on his show the other day.

Paraphrasing as close to the statement as I can recall: "If it had been Cutler that didn't go for that fumble or walked out on his press conference, what do you think would be the reaction? We'd all be absolutely killing him for it (meaning media, fans, etc.)."


He's right, just about any other QB doing that would get the same treatment (that's just my belief). Only the very few "golden boys" would be protected and spun into a positive light.
Another good point. The Chicago fans would have wanted him burned at the stake and the rest of the media, NFL fans would have toasted Cutler. That this is turned into anything else is ridiculous.
