No Jet-ribution; Plus, a Funny Story About the “Horrible” Thing That Happened to Brady

Yes, we’re pleased as Punch, perhaps even more so, that new-New England Patriots QB Matt Cassel showed Frosty the Snowman Eric Mangini and the New York Jets that the so-called “Jet-ribution” wasn’t to be had after all.

But one of our good friends gave us a little perspective the other day concerning the end of Tom Brady’s 2008 season. We’ll take a smidge of poetic license here but this is the gist:

Hubby is watching TV and has just seen the story that Tom Brady is out for the season. Wife enters room immediately after and . . .

Hubby, still facing TV: Oh, this is horrible. Just horrible.

Wife: What happened?

Hubby: It’s Tom Brady. He . . .

Wife: OMG, what?! Did he die? Does he have cancer?

Hubby goes into hysterics, drops on floor, and eventually passes out from laughter.

Once revived, he explains to his wife that Tom Brady is alive and well, except for the season-ending ACL and MCL injuries.

We thought that story was funny last week. Now, after yesterday’s win, it’s even funnier. Unless you’re a Jets fan . . .
