This is a business. Brady should have asked for more. I respect that he didnt. Look at it like this....If Brady comes back and cant play the Pats will cut him. He will never make up that money. Anyone think the Patriots will take care of Brady? No. If Brady had gotten what he deserved in a contract this team would not be winning now. No one will care if he can not win any more.

Brady makes a crap load of money from endorsements for 3 reasons -- he's great, his team is in the top 3 every season, and he's in a big market. There's plenty of players who have 2 out of the 3 and only make a fraction of what Brady makes in endorsements. If Brady asked to break the bank, there's a good chance reason #2 or reason #3 would no longer apply and he'd be making less money overall.

If he gets that contract, maybe he will be less inclined to make more commercials like that line of Oreo commercials. I curse that vile cookie for embracing him and his brother as its spokespersons.

I don't know if it's because I'm slightly medicated right now or what, but I just laughed for a good minute at that.

Yea, but NEARLY as much as he could if he choose to go the Peyton route and sign up to endorse everything that gets put in front of him.

When was the last time you saw Tommy in a Commercial? Local or National?
