As for Easterbrook's claim that Brady doesn't do public charity work, maybe he ought to apprciate that old adage about true charity being done for charity's sake and not publicity..( like calling a press conference to announce you're sending relief supplies like....a certain QB did) Yeah it's nice but what were the motives??
Below are links to an owner who probably has no peer in the NFL when it comes to charity and a player and his girlfriend who give without the publicity...
Maybe because Kraft, Brady and Giselle don't call a press conference to announce their charity, you don't hear about it....

She and her husband are worth an estimated $1.3 billion, according to Forbes magazine, making them the 297th wealthiest family in America. In the last four decades,
the Krafts have given away more than $100 million, and the pace of their giving is speeding up. Asked why, Myra Kraft is blunt: "There's more resources." In addition to her board work, she manages two foundations, the Robert and Myra Kraft Family Foundation, which had $37 million in assets at the end of 2005, and the team's New England Patriots Charitable Foundation, which had $2 million.
