Outstanding ESPN Magazine Article On Brady/Patriots

I'm not a New England Patriots fan. Never have been, probably never will be. But I respect quarterback Tom Brady's talent and appreciate how well head coach Bill Belichick has managed this team for several years.

Like many, I was kind of hoping to see the Patriots lose this year. I was exasperated when the Baltimore Ravens had them all but beaten in a November game, then let the victory slip away. My Christian sensibilities are improving (I believe) my attitude, so I try to no longer take joy in others' defeats, but still, I found myself pulling for the Ravens more than I should. Fair enough?

Well, we all know how that turned out.

Over at ESPN, Chuck Klosterman has written an excellent article on the Patriots (and Brady's) performance. I must say I think he's right.

But don't read the article because of that. Check it out, instead, to see what he has to say about this Tom Brady/Gisele Bundchen photo snapped by Jackson Lee. Do so and you'll see some sports writers still practice a great craft.
