We all love, Tom. The man could crash on all of our sofas in a time of need at any time.
(He's rich as **** now so he won't come knocking, but if he did, what the hell, i'd make breakfast, too)
I think that, while most of us are fascinated to take a look at the Tom Brady who isn't justifiably and rightly on guard against the American sports-media, we feel a bit of remorse and guilt peering into his private life since we respect him as a man, and not just some meaningless celebrity.
That said, the bright side to this is exactly why we're fascinated to begin with. Usually historical figures have to die and leave behind a diary, but nobody uses diaries now, and I don't see emails regularly lasting through time without it being an intention.
I haven't read a lot of them, and won't outside a headline piece or something someone here thinks is repeat worthy, but these snippets alone now exist in the history of the NFL to combat a weakening Crygate/Deflatehate argument that's essentially crumbling before our eyes. People who lean on "cheater, cheater, cheater," just look too pitiful now. I laugh at it now. Like, sincerely laugh at it.
The Pats have reduced the fan bases of the AFC to Jet fan clones. Bitter, jealous, borderline insane.
So instead of a diary, years after his death, we get a glimpse into his emails, while he chases a 5th ring.
The comments about the media, Brunnell, the conversation about Peyton - it's all part of his legacy now, and it's a really nice fit.
It sucks his privacy has been ripped to shreds like this, but we all know Tom a little bit better than we did last week, and apparently he's even more awesome, and he sees things exactly like his fans.
