Did Bobby Layne Canoodle?
How many more months am I going to have to open the paper and see Tom Brady on the society page? I don’t want to see my quarterbacks on the society page…I want to see them on the sports page where they belong! And I damn sure don’t want to see them “canoodling” in public. What’s with this? All I see of Tom Terrific is pictures walking down Manhattan streets with flowers in his hand…walking through international airports carrying that models luggage…grinning like an idiot as she waves to the paparazzi. What happened to the quarterbacks of old…men…men of legend with legendary names…”Slingin’ Sammy” Baugh, Roger, “the Dodger”, Staubach…Kenny, “the Snake”, Stabler…and my all time favorite “Broadway Joe” Namath. And in New England, what do we have; Tom, “The Canoodler”, Brady! Quarterbacks used to be men in the NFL. Bobby Layne played half his games without a helmet for Christ’s sake. Brady would lose his cover boy contract with Vanity Fair if he tried anything like that. Don’t get me wrong; if Tom feels the need to be led by the nose by some foreign model that’s his business, but Jesus Tom, next time you feel like canoodling, how ’bout closing the damn door!
