Since When is Tom Brady’s Hat Important?

Posted by ryan on May 4, 2007

tom-brady-hat-custom.jpgTom Brady has won three Super Bowls, two Super Bowl MVP awards, made three Pro Bowls, and knocked up a handful of Hollywood’s most famous women. But that isn’t enough for the city of Boston, who are now criticizing Brady for walking around Manhattan while wearing a Yankees hat.

The ever-vigilant paparazzi snapped New England Patriots QB/QT Tom Brady sashaying through the streets of New York City yesterday shamelessly sporting a New York Yankees cap!

?We know that Tom has an array of Red Sox caps from which to choose,? said team spokesguy Dr. Charles Steinberg. ?But we fully respect that he needed to wear a suitable disguise for his own health and protection. We don?t doubt that he?s a card-carrying member of Red Sox Nation.?

First of all, if I ever write a sentence like that, I’ll have Sportable shut down immediately. And Dr. Steinberg, shut up. Please. Brady has done enough for Boston. He doesn’t need to model his style after the city. Why aren’t you criticizing him for living in New York instead of Boston? All he does is play quarterback in New England. He’s not a slave there. He doesn’t have the city tattooed on his ass so in reality, he can wear whatever the hell he wants.

Brady restructures his contract so the Patriots can land a big-name receiver like Randy Moss and writers choose to focus on this? Let’s go down the list here. He was born in California, he went to school in Michigan and he lives in New York. All he does in Boston is play quarterback. Judging by the way that “Red Sox Nation” has responded to this irrelevant gossip, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand why he lives somewhere else. Unless Brady’s arm is severed, the time period between February and August should be void of any Tom Brady news.

    Also, Bridget planned her baby - how is that his fault. She is the evil one in that circumstance!

    What I find so amazing about Hat Gate is that is was not a big deal when Big Papi came to spring training last year in a Vick jersey or when Schilling wore a Roethlisberg jersey on Best Damned Sports Show just days before the AFC Championship game against the Pats/Steelers. How is this any different?????
