OK. I googled it. "Golden Balls" is the nickname of David Beckham.

Puff piece but fun to read.

It's a hoot to read such an article written so clearly in British parlance. But c'mon...Michigan STATE?

did they say brady played at msu ? are they on crack ?

Brady "lucky" and "impossibly gifted"? (evidently never saw the draft prospect reports)

Bob Kraft grew up "impoverished"???

"Destined to have it all" in college except for "crippling panic attacks"????

Could we have all missed something?

Per another thread, I'd love to see "Tommy is the real golden balls" turned into a chant

Yeah, the author mustn't have read the Press Guide or talked to the Patriots PR staff. But, at least he got the right state for his college!

Based on the comments, Roger will be thrilled to see the tremendous inroads the NFL is making in the UK...

As far as I can see American football is a marathon of budweiser adverts occasionally interupted by some "talented bloke" chucking a rugby-like ball to some Billy Whizz halfway up the pitch, intent on scoring points for catching it while a couple of beefcakes try to put him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
