Butler pretty much put the $57million dollar contract Brady just
signed in the bank so a 0.1% tip is not unreasonable. I doubt Gisele
is much of a pickup truck girl anyway. ;-)
Butler looks more like an Escalade guy too if he was in a truck.

It was a nice thought tho.

I'm guessing that Butler was probably working for the minimum wage and
was just glad to be there.



That's what is so cool about it. Butler was picked up by the Patriots
after not being drafted by anyone. He was basically unemployed.

Another thing Brady did a couple of months ago. He gave back a
significant amount of his salary so the Pats would have more options for
new players.

That's extremely generous but I have to think that they'll find some
way to make it up to him.

If you read up on Brady and some of the things he has done that isn't
mentioned much in the press and his devotion to his family and kids, a
picture emerges of someone who is a classy guy. Sure, he makes a lot of
money but he's also ranked up there as one of the game's greatest
quarterbacks. He's a team player, not a prima donna.

Isn't that .01%?

It's not about the truck.. Brady could buy the factory. It's about the
glory and so freely passing it to the one who saved his ass. I think the
last Seahawks offensive drive was set up by an interception, Butler won
the Superbowl, not Brady and as much as folks "hate" brady, the guy is a
class act...

Prolly not... to the front office I suppose it's just business.
Something about these super quaterbacks, they all just seem like great
guys down deep. Brady, Elway, Montana, Farve, Manning... the list goes
on. I suppose it takes that kind of personality to hold a team of 40
some odd guys together and support hundreds....

I'd have a lot more respect for him if he handed the keys to this guy:

That guy is set... Somebody started a "go fund me" and he has already
raised over 220 THOUSAND dollars... good for him, sounds like he needed
a break.

The cynicism of some people is unbelievable. Brady's action
is symbolic, not monetary.

"Someone" is down in my *permanent* bozo bin, along with Slammer and
Florida Jim, and a couple of others. It takes virtually no energy to
read usenet posts, but they're not even worth that much effort.

I don't filter anyone simply because they disagree with me. Slammer is
filtered mainly because he acts like a juvenile punk, is exceedingly
foul mouthed and very likely has some untreated mental health issues.

If I express a thought or opinion and people take exception to it, fine.
Either I'll learn something or, if important enough to me, I'll debate
it. I have no problem with disagreements.
