Tom Shady

Being a recent transplant to Boston, I don't pretend to have any 

sort of deep alliances to sports teams.  I have always liked the Celtics, so now I have an excuse to cheer for them, and I love the New England Revolution, even though the rest of the nation seems to have forgotten that the MLS even exists, but the buck stops there.  I am almost entirely indifferent to the Red Sox, or to be more specific, to the sport of baseball in general.  Interesting, then, that this recent incident would bother me so much.

The incident being Tom Brady, the pretty-boy supermodel-whipped "quarterback" of the New England Patriots, wearing a San Francisco Giants hat at game 7 of the Celtics-Cavs playoffs.  Like I said, my home-town sports pride is only 9 months deep, but Brady's blatant disrespect for one of the most revered aspects of the city of Boston just upped his douche-factor about 100%.  I get it; you were born in San Francisco.  I was born in San Diego, and I have much more of an alliance to the Padres than to the Sox, but I'm not going to sit courtside at a Boston Celtics game and wear a Padres hat.  It's Boston for Christ's sake.

Congratulations, Tom.  Not only did you lose what was meant to be a sure-thing win at the Superbowl this year, but you have now elevated your douchebag status to the level of that one football player who was on The Bachelor.  

Also, nice Stetson ad.  Nothing says "manly" like shearling.
