Tom Brady ripped ESPN yesterday, saying that the network's coverage of the Patriots' spying controversy is manufactured controversy. Can't we just keep news of our organization's illegal spying on opposing teams in the past, Brady asks? He alleges the typical media sensationalism.
Let's hear from Mr. Brady directly:
To rebut these comments, we've resuscitated William of Ockham, the 14th century Franciscan friar whose principle, "Occam's razor," states that the simplest explanation for a phenomenon is the most likely true explanation.
What say you, sir?

Mr. Ockham, you've been most helpful. Mr. Brady, please go back to impregnating models and leave the media criticism to Ben Bagdikian.

Biased much? I notice you didn't mention that Brady said "It wasn’t the right thing to do," on Belichick’s practice of taping opposing teams’ coaching signals. "We paid the price . We accepted it. And we moved on."
"And that’s what life’s about. In life, you’re accountable for your decisions, for all your actions, and once you take responsibility, and you accept the punishment, you move on."
Oh, and by the way, Bridget in NOT a model, she's an actress, but chances are you won't lose a first round draft pick for your mistakes.

I'm not biased. I just hate the Patriots.
