Tom Brady calls Donald Trump 'amazing,'

http://l3.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/H6XrfUtW1U_OEpOLg.Ytkw--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3NfbGVnbztxPTg1/

Amid all the revelations about the Patriots' systematized signal-stealing and the NFL's backroom deals, you might have missed the day's most important story: Tom Brady is a Donald Trump fan!

All right, "fan" might be a little strong. And "most important story" is definitely overselling it. But still, speaking on Boston radio station WEEI Tuesday morning, Brady confirmed that indeed, he's a friend of Trump's, saying that Trump has done "amazing things." Brady stopped short of saying he would vote for Trump, but still: TRUMP/BRADY 2016. We can hope, can't we?

Brady's appearance on WEEI came just minutes before the release of the ESPN deflate-gate report that detailed extensive spying, so he didn't address anything related to that article. But he did say that he and wife Gisele Bundchen are "in a great place," shooting down divorce rumors, and noted that "it's been a tough, challenging seven months."

Brady's comments on Trump came after he was asked about the hat spotted in his locker:

He also suspiciously didn't show up to the WH with the rest of the team during the Super Bowl visit. Many footballers probably lean GOP, anyway. They might seem like normal guys on the job, but it's a different story for some off the field.

and Gisele is the one who is staunchly dem. But then I read that they are having marital problems so who knows.

Trump is hilarious but "amazing" is not the word I'd use.

I saw a story in Agricultural Digest about their enormous house in California. It was kind of ironic because she has all these environmental concerns but also has this huge house. At any rate, yes, she is known to be very liberal. I really don't care about Brady either way. It seems like Belichick may have some issues with playing fair however. Although I have no idea if other teams have similar issues. At the end of the day football is big business and I'm glad the union supported the player.
