Like Vince Wilfork, Tom Brady proves that when you're a New England Patriot, you can do whatever the hell you want. Unlike Wilfork, Brady isn't overdoing his macho. Instead, the gossip site TMZ spotted him toting a little dog carrier (screengrab from TMZ, head to the site for the full video): more ›

Update: Mike Reiss posted at 3:10 that Wilfork--and his finger--got fined $15,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct. (Thanks, AnneAllsonMA!) more ›

Today The Smoking Gun posted a copy of the federal court complaint filed by New England Patriot's own Tom Brady against Yahoo!. The suit was dated November 20, and filed November 29. It points out Brady's gripe, or more precisely his management company's gripe, that our very own superstar of football's image was ripped off by Yahoo! and used without his permission to promote their Fantasy Football endeavors.

The game. The game is what I missed." more ›
