Tom Brady..rehashed
My wife was watching the news the other day and was astonished that Tom Brady got hurt and would miss the entire season. I was astonished she knew who he was actually, but not really. Tom Brady is world famous and the MVP of the league. He is coming off the best season a qb has ever had arguably. I was hoping he’d get hurt though. After all, he’s in the ESPN magazine clutching his leg with a caption that says “ONE PLAY AWAY” and isn’t that the truth.
Where I screwed up is another story and I related this to a few of my friends yesterday and I’ll get back to my wife’s perspective on this. She sees Tom get hurt and he first comment is “does he get paid even though he’s hurt?” I said, “of course he does”. She said “What about endorsements?”. I answer “he averages 10 million a year in endorsements and that won’t change.” Then she says “that’s the life. He gets hurt and still gets paid and still gets his endorsements and everything else.” Then i say what could be the dumbest line a husband of 14 years could say. I say “To top it off he gets Gisele whenever else he wants to.” The glare I got was unbelievable and deserved i suppose and I’m an idiot who can’t shut his mouth sometimes.
The fact is that Tom Brady seems to have the life in spite of his recent injury. I never want to see someone get hurt but I’m happy the Pats won’t be as good. They can’t be. The Qb that is going to start for them hasn’t started a game since high school. He wasn’t even a starting college QB. The Pats are going to suffer with this and probably turn out better down the road because that’s how they are and that’s how Belichick coaches.
I hope Brady comes back from this injury as good as he was before because the league needs Tom Brady and my fantasy team needs him…isn’t that what we are all really concerned about?
