We Love Tom Brady Just the Way He Is
Despite last year’s heartbreaking loss in the Super Bowl, we still love Tom Brady. He’s become the Bill Clinton of sports—despite his personal issues, we still remember all the prosperity we’ve had during his tenure.
So we’re totally fine if No. 12 wants to wear European-style clothes and jet around the world with his supermodel girlfriend if that’s what he wants to do with his offseason.
The Inside Track is less forgiving of Brady’s new style, though.
The dandy-dressed erstwhile gridiron god has been trailed around the globe by a pack of panting paparazzi who are hot to snatch shots of his ultra-photogenic galpal Gisele Bundchen.
The ladies then cite a TMZ video of Brady running errands for his girlfriend along with commentary that Eli Manning is now the QB of the hour in New York.
We like that our QB is the opposite of the ungodly explosion of fug that is either of the Manning brothers. Eli and Peyton wear pleated Dockers and golf shirts. Eli likes to drink Corona and party with sorority girls.
If that’s our alternative, we’ll take the Gisele-loving Brady any day. Instead of bearing that infuriating aw-shucks face that the Mannings have, Brady looks coolly European.
In this month’s issue of Boston magazine, we reflect on why the rest of the country really wants to be like us, and it sounds like we could be talking about the QB himself.
It’s hard to say exactly why. . . , but somehow we came to be regarded as simply too out of touch, too out of step, too…European.
So we say keep it up, Tommy. Wear those aviator shades and scarves. As long as you’re a bloodthirsty American boy when you come back to Gillette in a few months, we’re totally fine with it.

I could not agree more, the IT girls sucks.

Wonder what you all are going to say when he comes back out of shape and no time for conditioning and no time to spend doing what he used to do so well - study film until the wee hours. We know the gf won’t have any part of that nonesense anymore. Football cannot be his first focus. She has drained him mentally and physically. He’s the laugh of the nation except to his blind followers, of course!

Hmm your boy used the “Aw Shucks” image for quite a while. Lot’s of people made money on it. So who is he really…. besides a negligent father?

Yeh, Peyton is the out of shape one. Just look what happend when he had all those commercials. He went 13-3 and vlew a halftime lead agenst an non-LT chargers. Last year Brady was in Europe with his girl and look what happend, 50 td’s and only 6 int. oh yeah he also broke mannings record.

Praise the deadbeat Dad and the GiSlut all you want. It is possible to separate Tom the QB on the field who I agree is great and also accept that he is far less perfect off the field and as he has admitted needs to work on the Father part. I can think he is a great QB and also a horrible excuse of man because he that’s the truth.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT A DEADBEAT DAD IS.? I’ll tell you cause I had one. That means my mom and I NEVER heard from him and he NEVER SENT US A PENNY. SHE DID IT ALL ON HER OWN. THE TRUE DEFINITION OF A SINGLE MOTHER.
By all accounts Brady is SUPPORTING HIS CHILD FINANCIALLY AND HAS TRAVELED TO SEE HIS KID to bond with him. Of course he can’t do it often due to his job and the distance, but I’m sure his EX Briget knew that when she decided to move so far away to make it difficult for him to see the child. It’s so obvious She wants to punish him for not leaving Gisele and come back to her. Insn’t that what all that big TABLOID SPECTACLE in the NY post was all about. To play the victim single mom left behind for the evil supermodel. Since a lot of you people in this counry are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, YOU FELL FOR IT HOOK LINE AND SINKER. Well I know a bitter ex when I see one and since I had a single mom, I wasn’t about to fall for her act and hate Tom for her. If she hates him so much then she shouldn’t have had his kid. It’s that simple.
GiSlut? I think you’re projecting your attributes onto her. She has more class in her little pinkie than all of you combined.

I don’t care if Eli and Peyton had 100 Superbowls between them, I’d still TAKE BRADY ANY DAY. The two of them are just plain UGLY.

Talk about projecting, Naidia, angry much? Brady has enjoyed his tabloid fame and cashed in on it far more than Bridget Moynahan…it’s not like she or his son won’t be better off without Brady’s tabloid lifestyle. He seems pretty determined to focus on his lifestyle and football more than anything else. Bridget Moynahan knows Brady better than anyone…given the studly endorsements Brady has raked in over this scandalous bump in his Q rating…I’m guessing Bridget Moynahan made a wise decision to get away from him until he grows up a little…if he ever does that. He’s the next Joe Namath, a few more rings, a lot more endorsements, but definately this generation’s Namath.
