    This is simply not true. You are just counting base salary.

    I'm going by annual cash.
    Tom Brady

    And even if you go by cap hit, he's no. 8 next year. Down in the teens this year.

    So what about signing bonus and deferred compensation?

    I've linked to several sources backing up my point. Show me something that says Brady is getting a lot more money than is reported and I'll go to bed.

    From soupy cottage cheese to a disagreement about Tom Brady ... just like that. That might irk some people.

    There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that I hate worse than answering a phone call from what appears to be a local or semi-local number and hearing an automated voice say, "Please stay on the line for an important message."

    No. You initiated this call. If you don't have a live person ready to talk the moment I answer, then fuck you, I'm not interested. Hell, yesterday, one called and the first words I heard were, "Do not hang up." Again, fuck you. I hung up.

    He also could have done better by himself and married Emily Ratakowski. I mean, Giselle is a solid 6 above the shoulders.

    I know why they have to do it, but every commercial and local ad that references "The Big Game" instead of "The Super Bowl" is annoying as hell. The local news (nowhere near Minneapolis or either of the participating teams, and not an NBC affiliate) has run a Super Bowl story every day this week during its national news segment and all through the one last night they called it "The Big Game."
    It sounds stupid as hell and is just one more reason Roger Goodell needs to get anally raped by a 600-pound gorilla hopped up on cocaine and Super Big Viagara

    "The big game" is just begging for some bar owner with few or no scruples promoting "half price drinks during the big game" and then when you show up at 5:30 on Sunday, they tell you by "big game" they meant the UConn women's game earlier in the day

    And local TV news using it just screams producer who knows nothing about sports and wants to toss it in to sound cool
