With summer camp underway, and Tom Brady back in Foxboro, the Boston Globe reported that Tom spent the off-season away from the press and with his son.

Perfection

2007-12-30T06:26:00.000-08:00

As the records fell and a new standard of greatness was born, we never doubted. Behind throughout the first half of their final regular season game against the NY Giants, Tom Brady and the Patriots proved once again who they are, what they stand for, and why their fans love them. In Tom We Trust.

Congratulations on a perfect season!

A silly clip getting too much attention, but I would be amiss if I didn't make note of it. This is of Andrea Kraemer interviewing Tom Brady and Randy Moss after they clobbered the Bills. YouTubers claim Andrea's googly eyes suggest she may have more on her mind than just sports talk.

Blowouts and Close Calls

2007-11-27T16:32:00.000-08:00

(Tom reacts to an incomplete pass in the game against the Eagles.)

With a close win over the Eagles last Sunday (31-28), Patriot fans ponder if the world has found a weakness in the armor. The seemingly unbeatable Patriots looked quite beatable against a team they should have easily steamrolled.

Prior to the game, Tom Brady talked with WEEI sports radio and explained their strategy around "blowout" games:

"We're not trying to win 42-28, we're trying to kill people." said Brady. "We're trying to blow them out if we can. You want to build momentum for each week. You don't want to be up 42-7 or 35-7, and all of a sudden you look up and it's 35-21. We don't want to be part of that. You don't want to go into next week realizing that for the last 18 minutes of the game your team didn't play well or didn't play up to its capabilities. You gave other teams momentum for the next time they play you or you gave another team a reason not to be intimidated."

Calvin Klein?

2007-11-09T17:30:00.001-08:00

(Tom during his appearance on Saturday Night Live.)

According to In Touch Weekly, Calvin Klein offered Tom Brady $1 million to be their next celebrity model. Reportedly, Tom is undecided. If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on Tom NOT going for the deal. $1 mil is too low, and based on past interviews, Tom seems to have difficulty seeing himself as a sex symbol.

Colts - Too Close for Comfort

2007-11-05T04:18:00.001-08:00

(Tom and Peyton exchange a greeting at the end of the game.)

In the closest game of the season, against what is most likely their most formidable opponent of the regular season, Tom Brady and the Patriots managed another win yesterday, this time against the Colts 24-20. In a game full of bad referee calls and multiple errors on both sides, it all came down to who had the ball at the end of the 4th quarter.

Smartwater

Adding to his relatively short list of endorsements(at least compared to Peyton Manning), Tom Brady signed a 3 year contract with Glaceau, makes of Smartwater, valued between $3 to $5 million, to be their new spokes-athlete-celebrity.

According to Glaceau: "Tom’s trainer turned him onto Smartwater earlier this year and since then he’s made it part of his training regime."

Countdown to the Colts

Cast your votes online at msnbc for who you think will win the Patriots/Colts match-up next weekend.

Personally, I think Tom Brady and the Patriots are going to steamroll the Colts, but you probably guessed that. I'm sure Tom will offer Peyton a shoulder to cry on at the end of the game.

Washington Destroyed

2007-10-28T16:38:00.001-07:00

Tom Brady and the Patriots get better and more lethal with every passing week. Today, the Patriots defeated the Redskins 52-7.

As best summarized by msnbc.com:

"FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Tom Brady and the peerless Patriots keep getting better. Really. The quarterback was merely magnificent Sunday, throwing for three touchdowns and running for two more, and New England crushed the Washington Redskins 52-7 in an easy tuneup for its battle of unbeatens at Indianapolis."

Next weekend against the Colts will certainly be interesting.

Not Relaxing in Miami

2007-10-26T05:16:00.001-07:00

Kissing pictures aside, things may not be so great in Miami.

According to the Boston Globe:

Notwithstanding their very public display of affection in Miami over the weekend, all may not be well with Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen. Word is the star QB and his supermodel sweetheart are squabbling, and the source of the friction, at least in part, is Brady's relationship with his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, the mother of his son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan. We're told Brady had a lengthy phone conversation with Bridget while in Miami, and Bundchen was upset to the point of tears. OK! confirms that the pretty pair are at odds over Brady's desire to spend more time with his pigskin progeny. The magazine reports that Bundchen recently pulled Brady out of a Starbucks here so that their argument would not create a spectacle. "Tom said that his priority was Gisele, but she was shaking her head," an eyewitness told OK! "She took his hand, and they walked out without even getting their coffee."

Fighting in a Starbucks?! That's heresy.

Similarly, the Boston Herald reports:

"Gi[sele] is miffed that she canceled her multimillion-dollar modeling contract with Victoria’s Secret to spend more time with Tom."

Relaxing in Miami

After an amazing performance against the Dolphins this past Sunday, Tom Brady and girlfriend Gisele relax poolside at the posh Miami Beach Setai Hotel.

Tom Defends Matt

2007-10-23T04:28:00.000-07:00

On Sunday's game against the Dolphins, backup QB Matt Cassel entered the game with a 22 point lead and a little over 10 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. To everyone's dismay, he quickly tossed off a pass that was intercepted for a touchdown. He was immediately pulled out of the game and Tom Brady was sent back in. Ouch, that's gotta hurt.

But Tom, the consummate professional and team leader, came to Matt's defense after the game, telling the press:

"That was unfortunate because Matt works awfully hard," Brady said. "I think they disguised the pressure, and Jason Taylor being the defensive player of the year last year that he is, came over and made a great play."

Dolphins No Match for Tom

2007-10-22T04:16:00.000-07:00

It's starting to get ridiculous, and seems almost cruel to make any team play against New England. Tom Brady and the Patriots continued their undefeated season on Sunday, crushing the Dolphins 49-28. And based on the very limited attendance at the game in Miami, no one is surprised.

Tom broke a team record and threw six touchdown passes, playing as if the Miami defense wasn't even on the field.

Gisele's Outburst

2007-10-18T07:45:00.000-07:00

(Tom surrounded by media at his locker in Foxboro today.)

Again, rumors are circulating that Gisele had ANOTHER public outburst at Tom Brady over dinner. This time, the spat happened at Extra Virgin in New York. Apparently, there was some shouting between the couple and it ended with Gisele leaving the restaurant with Tom left behind at the table by himself.

The fight was reported on Gawker.com. Link to Gawker posting.

I'm sure Dolphin fans are thrilled.

Huge Game in Texas

(Tom and ESPN's Kenny Mayne during an interview this week in Foxboro.)

In a big match-up this weekend between two undefeated teams, the New England Patriots defeated the Cowboys 48-27 on Sunday in a game that some see as a Superbowl preview.

Working hard with a lot of field time, Tom Brady threw a career high of 5 touchdown passes, and completed 31 of 46 for a total of 388 yards. And the Patriots prove, once again that, their offense is unstoppable.

Stetson Ad Campaign

2007-10-13T05:55:00.000-07:00

Stetson released their ad campaign featuring new spokes model, Tom Brady.

According to the Boston Globe: Brady was picked to pitch the fragrance because of his "rugged sophistication" and "masculine spirit," according to Bernd Beetz, CEO of Coty Inc., which makes Stetson. "His allure extends off the football field and he is widely known for his distinctive masculinity and irresistible character," said Beetz. Link to full article.

Although it was actually his worst game so far this season, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots pulled together another win, this time against the Browns on Sunday in Foxboro, 34-17. And by completing three touch-down passes in each of the first five games, Tom tied Steve Young's NFL record set in 1998.

Pimping Little Brady

2007-09-26T07:24:00.000-07:00

Ugh, celebrities! In an obvious attempt to breath life into her floundering career as a d-list actress, Bridget Moynahan pimped first-time photos of Tom Brady's son John to the highest bidder. And the winner is... OK! magazine for $100,000. There should be laws against this.

Bills Defeated

2007-09-23T16:42:00.001-07:00

(Brady and Losman talk after the game.)

As expected, Tom Brady and Patriots defeated the Bills today in Foxboro, 38-7. Tom completed 4 touchdowns; two to Moss, one to Watson, and one to Gaffney. For the Bills QB J.P. Losman, the game ended early due to a knee injury sustained during a sack, 65 seconds into the first quarter.

Style Icon?

2007-09-20T17:18:00.001-07:00

(Tom and Gisele on the streets of NY)

Is Tom Brady a fashionista? Some seem to think so. Given his recent spread in VMAN magazine, multiple showings in GQ, and his attendance at Paris runways, Tom is turning heads in the fashion world and getting noticed.

Today, the Boston Globe published a lengthy article summarizing Tom's fashion accomplishments and style know-how:

"Brady is an eager participant in photo shoots, asserts a few opinions of his own, and arrives with a firm sense of self. 'He knows his light, he knows his angle. He has a certain amount of trust with the photographer,' says John Mather, the fashion director of Best Life who arranged September's spread, which features Brady in a new line of Tom Ford clothes."

Huge Victory Against Chargers

2007-09-17T06:38:00.001-07:00

Tom Brady and the Patriots managed a huge victory over the San Diego Chargers last night in Foxboro, defeating the Chargers 38-14. The Brady-Moss combo, teamed with an amazing defense, renders the Patriots seemingly unstoppable in a season that is quickly living up to all the pre-season hype.

And with this win against San Diego, possibly the most formidable team in the season lineup, comes a slap in the face to all the "spy" mongers who thought gossip and politics would drag the Patriots down.

Great win guys! Maybe we should just skip to the playoffs.
