Patriot Fans Left at the Altar?

Tom Brady has it all, movie star good-looks, rocket-launcher right arm, $50,000 worth of diamonds on his fingers, 2 Super Bowl MVPs, and if the rumors are true, a very attractive young lady with whom he is now engaged.  Okay, let me start this article by stating that I have nothing against the sacrament of marriage.  I’m “Pro-Marriage” and I love weddings.  Open bar, the “chicken dance”, Aunt Sue and Uncle Frank doing the limbo, the whole shebang.  I hope in the near-future that I get married.  But now I’m speaking as a Patriots’ fan… Tom, please tell me WHY?This is not a knock on Bridget Moynahan?  She’s gorgeous enough to make the Pope kick in a stained-glass window.   The conversation between the two is undoubtedly quite stimulating.  Her work in such blockbusters as Coyote Ugly, the Recruit, Serendipity, and Whipped was nothing short of inspiring.  It’s just that engagements and marriages have not been good for many superstars.

Has Tom learned nothing from Tiger Woods?  El Tigre ripped through tournament after tournament looking as if he’d easily eclipse The Golden Bear as the greatest golfer ever until Elin Nordegran sank her claws in him.  Now, Tiger is playing more like a kitten.  Sure, his personal life may be great, but his swing is off and that’s what I care about.  

Let’s not forget about The Beatles.  John, Paul, Ringo, and George collectively were “bigger than Jesus.”  In stepped Yoko with her tambourine and shrieking yelp and John left his mates behind while he “Gave Peace a Chance.”  The Fab Four had plenty of great music ahead of them, but, “Ono,” Yoko foiled the plans.

Tom, I’m pleading with you.  “Give the Patriots a Chance” to win another Super Bowl.   You can postpone your engagement until after you retire or until Rohan Davey is ready to lead us to the promise land.  After your nuptials, maybe, just maybe, you can prosper and continue to be the fantastic Quarterback and leader you have been.  Frankly, I don’t want to test that theory.  For my sake, for New England’s sake, and for Mr. Kraft’s sake just wait until we are all ready for this commitment.
