Why Was Brady Jailed?
So… this morning, following the AFC and NFC Championship Games yesterday, I go to SportsIllustrated.com to see who is saying what about the games. Just below the lead story, this caught my eye:
Immediately I was taken back to 1970 when young black and sympathetic white Americans were marching in the streets, carrying signs and wearing T-shirts with the message:
For those too young to remember, Ms. Davis, now a college professor in the U. of California system, was apprehended and jailed on charges linking her to the murder of Judge Harold Haley during an attempted Black Panther prison break. She was tried and acquitted, but has never relinquished her role as seeker of racial and gender justice and equality. That Angela Davis…
Back to Brady… I know that non-Patriot fans don’t like him. I know he made a couple of mistakes in the game. I know that there are probably plenty of jilted ladies who would love to see him behind bars. But, my god, he has just won 18 games in a row and is on his way to the Super Bowl to try for a perfect season. I can’t stand his type due to the cocky arrogance that seems to be his natural better-than-thou demeanor. But come on people, what has he done to deserve being locked up in the pokey?

“Cocky arrogance….better-than-thou demeanor” — who are you trying to fool? He shares all the accolades with his teammates and his talent and “beauty” with the rest of us. What more do you want? And by the way, we die-hard Pats fans think he has the right to be cocky — 30 years old, possibly the best QB the NFL has ever seen, $16 million per year, an almost perfect season…so lay off Tommy.
(I do appreciate your willingness to keep him out of jail).

Elsie and I would quite happily keep him company in jail …
I don’t follow Tom Brady so I don’t know what he has done or not done to deserve jail. But if he is guilty of a crime he should not be immune to persecution just because he is a “football hero”.
I had to go to the SI website to figure out what the H…you were talking about! A free t-shirt, not a free Tommy. That was a good “gotcha”
i absolutely love the hilarious ‘tip from the pros’ commercials he does; especially the one where he advises the 40 year old couch potatoes to simply buy larger shirts….
