3 – The opening point spread at most sports books of this year’s Super Bowl. (Patriots –3, that is.)

The ‘Most Embarrassing Tom Brady Photos’ gallery is a real hoot
The reason the gallery is so amusing is the fact that this guy is super rich, successful, handsome and gets to go share a bed with Gisele Bündchen. Wait. That’s not amusing. That’s not amusing at all. The entire 15-pic gallery can be found at Sports Pickle, so go there. But here are a few [...]
Tom Brady Dreamed of Being Able to Wear Socks Once and Throw Them Away
Don’t worry, folks: the Super Bowl is almost here. These next three days will be long ones, but we’ll all get through them together. Just think, when you finished watching the Giants overtime victory over the Niners back in January the big game was a full 14 days away. We’re in the home stretch. But until that time comes, let’s talk about Tom Brady’s...

Pierre-Paul is right, the past...
Tom Brady And Victor Cruz Call Radio Stations To Talk About The Super Bowl (Not Really)
Giant and Patriots players were assigned Tuesday as their media day to answer questions and gawk at hot Latina news reporters. However that didn’t stop two radio stations from talking to Pats QB Tom Brady and Giants WR Victor Cruz. Who cares that it isn’t Tom Brady the NFL all-world quarterback with the devilish good looks or Victor Cruz, the standout speedster receiver...
New York Newspaper Goes in On Tom and Gisele
Just adds fuel to my fire T..
By now you’ve probably heard about the email the NYP stole received regarding Gisele’s prayers for Tom this special Sunday. The cover shows how deep the Pats/Giants rivalry really runs. I hope Tom doesn’t get a hold of this, or he might go Beast Mode on the Giants. If there’s one thing Tom likes, it’s his privacy. -TO
