Or he has decided to buy a house in LA, and thats it.

Should we list all the guys that LIVE outside of the NE area?

Randy - Florida
Vrabel - OH
Wes - OK
Rodney - SD

I mean, we could name over half the team.

This is nuts.

Point is - we have no idea what Brady's trip is for so let's not speculate or believe gossip rags. Give this guy the benefit of the doubt, he has earned it not only with his play but his dedication to the game.

Thanks for the link...

I am pretty sure one would NEVER see this kind of information at TMZ or even at PFT.

It also fits Brady's character that he would visit the guy a few days after he came too (remember his vigil with Weiss).

If Tom Brady wishes to conclude his career with his home town team,

he should be permitted to do so. He will be 34 when his Pats contract

expires after the 2010 season and he will have given the Pats a long

run of successful years. Of course, I would expect some compensation.

The daily commute from Brentwood to San Fran is killer. It is only an 6 hour commute each way without traffic (and when is there no traffic in LA?).

Nah, I think like many rich people, Brady wants to own several pieces of property all over the country. This piece will be close to his son.

Although I wouldn't blame him if he did (although I would be sickened to see him in any other uniform other than the Patriots), I really doubt he will ever want to play with any other team than the Patriots. Most legendary QBs want to spend their entire career with the team that made him a legend. Typically if they leave, it isn't by their own choice (Montana comes to mind).

Or he's a pretty savvy investor who is investing in blue chip real estate that suits his needs while property values are depressed. He makes tens of millions a year and he's not gonna store that in the local bank. He's been renting in that same market since the off season so he can spend time with the little guy so many here worried a year ago he would not be a hands on father to...and he hasn't settled on an alternate retirement investment/hobby strategy like UPS franchises or racing teams...

For all he's already done here you would think at least here if not on crappy tabloid websites he'd get a little courtesy space to have some semblance of a private life. Ditto Bill.

Forget this real estate talk.

Find these bored guys and make them post some phone numbers.

No one has suggested that is the only reason he went out there, but he could have decided to schedule signing the papers for the new property with a schedule West Coast trip for other reasons.

I don't get why people have their panties in a bunch over this. Even if it was the main reason he is in California, big deal. Players leave camp and the preseason for personal reasons all the time. Brady isn't playing Thursday night and if they were implementing a gameplan yesterday, he probably wasn't going to practice either since Cassel, Gutierrez, and O'Connell needed the snaps to get prepared.

I posted the link because someone sent it to me and I figured others would be interested. I never thought people would get upset by it. It really is no big deal other than showing that Brady is living a pretty damn good life.

It was good info. Nothing wrong with posting the link. Not your fault people can't handle the info.

I agree...good grief...sometimes a bit of information gets blown out of proportion in so many ways..so many WRONG ways...Ignorance is bliss....(at least on some message boards..)
