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 . . .

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

QB Blitzed by Supermodel Gal Pal

New Boyfriend Matt Cassel Called “A Winner”

Boston – The hits keep coming for Patriot quarterback Tom Brady. First a shocking Super Bowl XLII loss. Then a season-ending knee injury. Now the cruelest blow of all, a devastating sack delivered by a 120-lb model.

“My life is about winning,” said Gisele Bundchen, who announced that she was dumping longtime boyfriend Brady for Matt Cassel, Brady’s replacement as Patriot quarterback.

When reached for comment, Brady was typically stoical: “I won’t have to hear her ask me how many goals I scored again,” Brady said. “Anyway, she’s too skinny.”

“Tom’s not very happy with me right now,” joked a light-hearted Cassel when reached at Gillette Stadium.   

As usual, Bill Belichick, the relentlessly upbeat Patriot head coach, put a positive spin on the development. “I’ve all ready sent Gissy a Cassel jersey. I look forward to seeing her wearing it at practice tomorrow.”

P.S. If you didn’t know this was a joke, even after reading a classic description of Bill Belichick as “the relentlessly upbeat Patriot head coach,” then consider this little postscript a seldom-seen act of generosity on our part.
