s parse it out anyway:
• Brady is trying to conceal his address, but we can gather that it's
a "Street" in zip code 02116 (Boston, of course). You can bet Brady fans are
now knocking on every door on every Street in that zip code.
• "The rich history of the National Football League is highlighted by
fantastic games, iconic moments and incredible talent." What a ridiculous
opening line to send to Tom Brady. I don't imagine this sentence came as a
surprise to him. The NFL had iconic moments? Sure wish I could've seen those
on TV, but I was too busy CREATING THEM.
• "Your performance in Super Bowls XXXVI, XXXVIII, XLIX is an enduring
legacy..." This is where the auto-fill of this letter creation software
breaks down. Brady ain't no one-time MVP, people. Take three seconds and
smooth out that sentence.
• "There will be many opportunities for you to be involved ... " Note
the passive-voice construction of that sentence. The NFL train is rollin',
baby, and you can jump on hobo-style if you want.
• "Tracy and April from my office will follow up with you soon with
additional details." Oh, I'm sure Tracy and April are REEEEALLLY looking
forward to making that particular call.
• "Sincerely, ROGER GOODELL." The ALL CAPS means I AM A SERIOUS
COMMISSIONER.
Anyway, I would put the chances of Brady being on-field for that 50th
anniversary ceremony at 100 percent. Not necessarily because the Patriots
will be in the Super Bowl, although that's certainly possible, but because
Brady knows the cheers for him will only be matched by the boos for Goodell. |
