VIDEO: Tom Brady Jersey Refusing to Burn is Perfectly on Brand
By Sean Facey
For the first time in a long time, the New England Patriots and their fans didn't come out on the winning end of things in the playoffs. Following the team's brutal Wild Card loss to the Tennessee Titans, some fans even tried to burn a Tom Brady jersey to show their displeasure -- cool! But in the most Brady-like display of stubbornness ever, the jersey simply refused to burn.

There's nothing that could have been more on brand than this. We're! Still! Here!
It's so symbolic of Brady as a character. Even when people want him to go away, even when he's so ridiculously down for the count, he simply refuses to yield.

It's actually hilarious, though, to think that stubbornness has come to define him so fully that even his apparel is tainted with it. No matter how badly people want to see him gone, he's always there, waiting to rise from the ashes.
