I’m actually going to have to defend Tom Brady.  I think I’m going to be sick…oh well at least I’m already medicated.  In a column for the L.A. Times, columnist Bill Plaschke (yeah the guy from Around the Horn) goes on the tired diatribe about how Brady couldn’t play in the same time as some of the greats, about how Brady benefits from softer rules, plays in a pass-oriented game, blah, blah, blah.  Look; if Brady played back then he would have probably been a freaking linebacker.  Those guys were tiny and with the advances made in nutrition (and steroids) you can’t compare yesterdays player to today’s, period.  And of all the people to quote to extoll Johnny Unitas’s greatness he picks someone objective…Johnny Unitas Jr.  Are you kidding me.  Look I think Brady is a pretty-boy whiner who probably wears silk jammies to bed, but even I’ll admit that he’s the best quarterback of this era and stacks up against the greats in every category.  This is just another old-timer trying to sell me on why everything was always better in the past.  No it wasn’t.  Brady deals with more media pressure, more complicated offenses, and bigger, smarter defenses than Unitas ever did.  I’m not slagging Unitas; his record stands for itself; I’m just saying that it’s ridiculous to try to compare today’s athletes to those of the past.  That being said, I still hate Tom Brady.  But I must be fair about it.  Now I’m going to see if I can shower and see if I can wash the Boston off of me.

Tom Brady is missing.

Call the police.  He was last seen in the company of a known supermodel heading south toward Arizona.  He is apparently wounded and may have mobility issues, is considered very dangerous and should be shot on sight.

Thank you.

(we don’t really want Tom Brady shot, and if he is we take no responsibility for it, and we hope that it’s just a flesh wound)

If ESPN tells me about Tom Brady’s “injured” foot one more time I’m going to travel to Boston and break it myself.  It’s bad enough that ESPN is taking a story that originally broke on TMZ.com and running it into the ground; it’s another to make me sick of the Super Bowl hype this soon. 

If there is anyone out there who honestly thinks that Brady will Ladanian it and not play on Super Bowl Sunday, they must also believe that baby cows don’t get made into hamburgers and that Flipper didn’t end up in a tuna can with Charlie on the front of it.

This is at it’s most newsworthy an attempt by the Patriots to play mindgames with the Giants, but more than likely it’s just nothing.  But I do have to admit that it was funny seeing Brady walk to his girls apartment carrying that big bouquet of flowers.  Damn Tom I thought that you were a player?  He’s just as PWhipped as the rest of us, and that was good to see.  Nothing wrong with it she is a supermodel and she is your baby’s momma after all…O wait no she’s not.
