"To Tom ("Shady") Brady: Read Proverbs 27:2"

I am not a football fan, I know very little about the game (though my new wife is trying to teach me.)

I am a BASEBALL man, though I'm a New York YANKEES (not a New York METS fan.)

All of that being said, what Patriots QB Tom Brady tried to do to New York Mets pitching legend TOM SEAVER recently is simply despicable.

You see, in March, it was announced that the 74 year old Seaver is dying of DEMENTIA (I blogged about this here as it happened.) If you look him up on his Wikipedia page, you'll see that Seaver has two nicknames that were given to him during his Hall of Fame career.  The first and foremost is "TOM TERRIFIC."  Well, wouldn't you know it, it just came out that Tom Brady tried to COPYRIGHT that nickname for HIMSELF, in June, and was (thankfully) turned down?? The copyright people recognized that is SEAVER'S nickname, and has been for a long time.  I just can't believe it...reading up on Brady, it turns out he has FOUR nicknames...why was "Tom Terrific" the ONLY one he tried to copyright??  And why'd he wait till it became national news that the REAL "Tom Terrific," Tom SEAVER, doesn't know what's going on anymore before he tried this heist??

I may not know FOOTBALL, people, but I know LACK OF CHARACTER when I see it. 

And I don't care HOW many Super Bowls the guy has won, this is pathetic.  Note that SEAVER never tried to copyright the nickname others gave him even though he earned it in 1969, 50 years ago, 8 years before Brady was even BORN. And I believe that OTHERS gave Brady that same moniker ALSO.  But here's the problem:  ONCE YOU ATTEMPT TO COPYRIGHT A NAME YOU ARE CLAIMING THE NAME AND, IN ESSENCE, NAMING (AND PRAISING) YOURSELF. And the Bible clearly says "Let another praise you, not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips" (Proverbs 27:2.) 

I never paid much attention when people said Brady cheated with "Deflategate" because, again, I know little about football.  However, I'm starting to think the guy lies, cheats AND steals because I regard his excuse as to how this "Tom Terrific" thing came about as a lie (he claims he tried to copyright the moniker so no one but he and Seaver could ever use it.  Yeah, nice of him to look out for Seaver in SECRET that way!! And if he GETS the copyright, will Seaver's estate have to PAY him every time someone refers to SEAVER as "Tom Terrific"??  Of course not, Lol!! What a pack of lies.)

If Tom Brady needs a NEW nickname, on top of his other four, I'd like to suggest "Shady Brady."

Now THAT'S a name he richly deserves.
