Wow what a week to write about Tom Brady.In the two days since I posted about him we’ve had pictures come out of him and Gisele in New Mexico (on the front page of the Herald, no less), news from the Globe that he’ll be ready for the start of the season and a column from Dan Shaughnessy basically going through all the stuff in our post. Just remember: you heard it at WKFTB first.
The first order of business: Brady is going to be ready for the start of the season, at least according to a medical source “familiar” with his procedure. I have no clue what that means, but the good news is encouraging.
And just to clear things up, Brady did have an infection:
“The surgery went well and my doctor described my knee as ‘rock solid.’ Unfortunately, in the week following the surgery, I developed an infection. The infection is very treatable and, through a course of antibiotics, it will be knocked out of my system.”
--From a press release from Tom that you can still find on his official website, http://www.tombrady.com/.
The news a few month ago from NBC that said his 2009 season was in jeopardy was based on him having more procedures to clear that infection up. Apparently he doesn’t need to.
“We were OK when Tom posed wearing the Stetson, holding the baby lamb. We didn't call him elitist when he endorsed Movado high-end watches and private jets (working-class fans certainly can't relate to that). We applauded when he met the pope and went to the State of the Union Address. We agreed it was none of our business when he broke up with Bridget Moynahan and it turned out she was having their baby.
“Tom and Gisele buying half of California? Why not? Interested in a painting by Eugenio Lucas y Padilla, a follower of Goya? All good. We would never suggest that Tom was forgetting his roots and becoming a man of only the finest tastes.
“We didn't raise questions when he lost the Gillette Stadium parking space awarded to the guy who arrives earliest, leaves latest, and practices hardest. We didn't hammer him for not sticking around on crutches to help from the sideline. We bought the company line that Tom did not want to create a distraction. We gave him a pass when he failed to grant a single interview about his condition. We didn't rip him when he finally did an interview - a radio spot in Toronto - and it turned out he was just promoting a new sports cream.”
And this:
“Yesterday was the last straw. You know what I'm talking about. You opened your newspaper (or perhaps viewed online) and saw the photograph of Gisele Bundchen feeding Brady at poolside in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. That did it. The tipping point. The coup de grace. The shark jumped. She was feeding him. Our quarterback, one of the five most decorated athletes to play in Boston, is looking like a wimp in front of the whole world.”

Dan Shaugnessey is the worst fucking reporter in the world. Everything he writes lessens the value of the paper its written on. whatever he writes, i believe the total opposite. the man was drinking solo at one of my bars on st pattys, i wish i told him to go fuck himself. If he hates Boston so much, why doesn't he fucking leave. Him and thatother hack Tony Maz can go fuck themselves
ReplyDeletetell us how ya really feel matty
ReplyDeleteI'm not feeling Shaughnessy much anymore, he's kind fo worn out, but I actually like Tony Mazz. He's one of the few reporters who dares to question Theo and the Sox management.
ReplyDeleteI'd dare to question them too I guess, but not so much when u have the best management and owner combo in the game. Sure they make mistakes, but not egregious ones. Mazz is a whiny little bitch, his requesting of an apology from BB for the stupid blown out of proportion spy-gate bullshit was beyond comprehension and completely out of line.
ReplyDelete"She was feeding him. Our quarterback, one of the five most decorated athletes to play in Boston, is looking like a wimp in front of the whole world.”
ReplyDeleteI think Shaughnessey accidentally hit a "w" instead of a "p" when writing "wimp."
Well put J man
