His family is not there - one of Brady's children is in LA. Giselle and their child will go wherever he does. Brady's parents live in northern Cali.

Giselle and Tom collectively have residences in southern Cali, northern Cali, Costa Rica, Boston, NYC and Brazil. To say he's locked down in Cali is a joke. When you're that rich, you can afford to live all over the place.

Thank Goodness Silver wrote a piece that's not all about the happy-happy times in joy-joy land. Now a national writer can be vilified for a little while. That will give the locals a break.

Brady and Giselle live in both Boston and Los Angeles and sometimes in Brazil. Gisselle has been bicoastal for years before she ended up with Brady (although she lived in NYC on the East Coast).

FACT: Pats play in Foxboro.

Hey you got that point right. I guess you can't be wrong about everything.

Quote:

FACT: There WILL be a team in LA in 2011.

Really?!? Which team? Where will they play? Maybe they can play at Beverly Hills High School.

The state has approved to build Los Angeles Stadium and they can have it built 30 months after a team commits to move there. So, if a team committed to moving to Los Angeles tommorrow, there wouldn't be a stadium available until the 2013 season.

September 2008: City of Industry is expected to review the supplemental EIR.

City of Industry unanimously approves supplemental EIR.
Governor Schwarzenegger signs Bill allowing Stadium project to move forward.
Stadium construction will begin as soon as an NFL Team commits to move to Los Angeles. Construction will take approximately 30 months to complete.

POSSIBLE: FRANCHISE TAG might be a concession the owners have in the new CBA.

It has slim to no chance of happening.

Quote:

FACT: The Pats ownership have been too concerned about overpaying since this CBA came up.

Not true. Some owners haven't been too concern about overpaying since the CBA came up.

Quote:

FACT: Manning is going to get a ridiculous contract and the Pats are fuking this up by not getting Brady done now.

Do we know that for sure? First, Brady may not want a Manning deal (he didn't want it the last time). The Colts are having some issue with other players like Robert Mathis because of contracts. They may not want to pay Manning too much over the highest paid player to avoid all their players wanting better deals.

Quote:

FACT: The Pats haven't won in 7 years folks, wake up smell the coffee. Brady can have a ton of money, live in LA, see his son every week and finish his career on top. An I'm a fuking Village idiot. This whole message board is full of village idiots you fuking clowns. I mean do you guys even know how an athlete thinks. You think he's going to sign here for some blind loyalty to the Krafts who are trying to *** over his whole Union. Wow. You guys are really, really uneducated dumb people.

Yes, Brady could live in LA during the season. The Fox Sunday football broadcast is in an LA studio. He can retire and I am sure they would hire him in a second. Otherwise, there won't be a team in LA for at least three or four seasons from now. If there was going to be a team in LA next year, we would already know about it and we don't.

BTW, did I fall asleep at work for two years and wake up in 2012? Has it already been seven years since 2005?

OMG. I just realized. . . . What if that team relocates to Brazil instead of LA?

We're doooooooooooomed!

And you know how athletes think, Einstein? Learn how to write a plausible, fact-based argument and you might take a big step toward proving your omniscience. And you should learn to write before you start calling others dumb or uneducated. You sound like you've been spending too much time with household cleaners. Remember, huffing will damage your brain.

Nobody claims Brady will work for free. He has never demanded to be the highest paid QB, and there is nothing to suggest he will ask to be the highest paid now. Review his previous, post-Super Bowl contract dealings and find some enlightenment. And you might want to find some authority, other than your delusional rant, supporting your tin foil hat conspiracy theory that Brady will stick it to Kraft out of loyalty to the union in the CBA bargaining process.

I doubt there's much of a relationship. Brady has more of a relationship with Curran, and look how far that got him when reporting about Brady's knee injury - he had no inside info either.

As for Silver - his bias is apparent then. He's trying to paint Kraft in a negative light to explain why Brady isn't signed. The idiotic thing is Peyton isn't signed either - so what good are Irsay's words? The truth is, Brady has a - to steal a Californication term - "broner" for Belichick, and I don't see him going anywhere. Just two weeks ago, Brady was talking about how they play for the greatest coach of all-time, and how they have to listen to him more. Does that sound like a guy ready to pack up and walk?

Don't forget Drew Brees isn't signed yet either and the first thing out of Tom Benson's mouth after the Super Bowl was that they were going to give Brees a new deal. So the three top QBs in the league are in line for new deals and none of them have made any progress on new deals and it is only Brady that has these speculations.

Great point. Really goes to show you what a lightning rod this team is in terms of the national media.

I will. It will be sad to see him go in 5-10 years.

Hey, enjoy Brady playing for the mythical Los Angeles Unicorns who start playing in Los Angeles in 2011 coached by the Easter Bunny and owned by the Tooth Fairy. Seriously, you talk about a team in Los Angeles in 2011 as fact and you think you have a right to insult anyone's intelligence?

He calls Brady "Tommy", but he slams the Patriots quite a bit.

He does have a relationship with Brady. So he could have inside information, but even if he did he would take a negative slant towards the Patriots even if Brady was far less negative in what he is telling Silver.

He hasn't had a relationship with Brady since shortly after Bridget announced her pregnancy and Tom and Giselle's relationship became public. It was already going south over spygate. Then he judgementally tore Tommy a new one over his personal indiscretion and that was the end of Silver's pipeline to TFB (which btw had to do with his being with SI which was no longer the case either...). I'm sure some in the Brady camp, whatever that may be, are frustrated for Tom contractually. Oddly I don't think Tom is. He's here to stay, he knows it, Kraft knows it, Belichick knows it, but that doesn't make for interesting copy. BTW Manning still hasn't inked a deal with Indy and Irsay is now concerned about being able to pay his other talent if a Manning deal is prohibitive...

Oh, and FWIW geddie is a miserably little troll who only crawls out from under his rock when presented with an opportunity to spew his Brady's gone garbage.

Predictably , you always seem to take the side of anyone who seems to take an -ve approach to the whole team or player and call it objective all the time.
