Tom Brady To Pats Fans: ‘Start Drinking Early’ To ‘Get Lubed Up’ For Home Game
By
Apparently the attention that comes with throwing for 500 yards in a Monday night season opener isn’t enough for Tom Brady. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, the Patriots quarterback made the following order to fans to ensure that they will be adequately primed and ready to cheer on the home team for New England’s late afternoon game against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday at Gillette Stadium (via myFOXBoston):
A reporter asked Brady if he had any message for the fans in anticipation of the home opener. Brady responded, “Yeah, start drinking early. Get nice and rowdy. It’s a 4:15 game, they’ll have a lot of time to get lubed up, come out here and cheer for the home team.”
Ha. Hilarious. A relatively innocuous comment, right? Well, except for the drunken beatings which seem to be occurring in NFL stadiums with frightening frequency these days. But this is Tom Brady we’re talking about, right? Brady wouldn’t want to send the message that he wants Patriots whipped up into a foaming-at-the-mouth, inebriated, bloodthirsty frenzy, correct?
Exactly. That wasn’t Brady’s intent at all, so said a team spokesperson later in the day:
A Patriots spokesman said later that Brady meant that the fans should stay hydrated, drink water and drink responsibly.
(re-reads Brady’s exact quote, takes a moment to contemplate)
Yep. That’s exactly what he meant by ordering them to “start drinking early” so that they are “nice and rowdy.” And the laughing by the reporters clearly indicates the seriousness of Brady’s comments about responsible alcohol intake. Further, there is nothing like drinking a lot of water early on during gameday to inspire a person to get nice and rowdy. Obviously, “lube up” means staying properly hydrated, too. I don’t even know why the Patriots felt compelled to have a spokesman clarify the meaning behind Brady’s comments. They are as crystal clear as a nice big glass of cool, refreshing water if you ask me.
Patriots back off Brady’s “Start Drinking Early” comment [myFOXBoston]
Lighten the f’k up.
Why Chris? Oh, that’s right, pretty white boy Brady can do no wrong in the NFL. Most other players would have gotten a big fine for it.
Most other players aren’t intelligent enough to hide it and be smooth like Brady. Alcohol and Athletics go hand in hand. Grow up and quit trying to pretend like hes rallying the people against the kings tea….
Yeah using words like ” get nice and rowdy” and “lubed up” are real intelligent and smooth.
In addition anyone with common sense knows EXACTLY what he’s suggesting there’s nothing hidden or subliminal here.
You can here the following lyrics on the radio “You going down on something you don’t wanna see like a hairy box” and every body gets their panties in a twist by “start drinking early”. F*ck You. The people who are so “offended” by this comment either have no sense of humor (It was a joke!) or just want to find something to complain about Brady for (It’s not his fault your quarterback sucks). If Favre wasn’t fined for texting his junk and sexually harassing employees I don’t want to hear if this was any other player he would be fined. Oh and by the way Vick tortured and killed many dogs if you suffer from memory loss and everyone seems to have forgotten about that as they praise him. Bottom line IT’S A JOKE! People need to take responsibility for their own action. I’m not going to get wasted now before the game because I possess the ability to understand a joke. If you’re an adult you should possess this too; if you don’t you probably ride the short bus.
Is this Greg guy so stupid as to obey everything he hears? Greg kill yourself, but before you do this stick a large vegetable in your bottom, run naked across a field and tatoo your family name everywhere on your body. Before you do this – donate every dime you have to the red cross.
If you do not do this – the my god stop your obsession with Tom Brady. Lord almighty – he makes a joke and you get so serious you make crazy comments? When your psychiatrist makes suggestions take them – he made comments – and you refuse to listen. Take this comment – take the xanax you were prescribed.
If someone told me to do LSD till I died, I would use my brain and realize it was wrong. Would these same drones do EVERY SINGLE THING TOM BRADY TELLS THEM? What if he told them to go up to their parents and insist on rectal exams – would they do that? What if they were “commanded to go to a jail and call the Lietenant a homosexual – would they do that? If not, they have a brain – so do what you want, but do no explain absolutely idiotic behavior because a man you fantasize about makes a joke.
All theses people who are so infatuated with Tom Brady deserve a life-size poster of him in his underwear – hopefully that will keep obsessive thoughts of him at bay.
Oh my gosh – so the moment I pick up a drink I am a delusional psychopath and absolutely want people to go through “bloodthirsty beatings?”
What if I have 1 beer? Did Tom insist I have 38 beers?, or did some clown decide that he needed 38 beers to get drunk and assumed everyone else in the world needed so much alcohol as well?
Apparently Brady made a joke – if you feel his words command you, seek help from a psychiatrist. If you justify your drinking because of his comments – then if you have even 1 DUI, then your sentence should be tripled, and your probation should be transferred to a PO that will make sure you will not endanger the community again. Your focus should be on the danger YOU are to society, not wasting out time so we forget the incredibly serious threat you pose as a drinker and someone who is happy to drive afterwards. You are a killer – I am far more scared of a blackout-drinker like you than a celebrity.
Luckily I work in Corrections, and the officers I work with know clowns from psychopaths. Psychopaths believe what they say, and clowns seek attention. I was advised this was a clown intervention by the CO’s that know their stuff.
I will not be interested in this site anymore if you allow such morons to post a blog, then allow them to refuse direct contact. i understand all you care is about the advertising dollar, but the driven need to seek it will not always be best
Of note – our pal is fully aware of what comments he makes – otherwise he would have wanted to clear the air.
Are you people serious? So what, they are going to do that anyway, Brady just wants a fired up crowd. If drinking at games is so bad, why are beers sold. You people must really be hard up if you think this was worth reporting. Someone is stuck in a rut.
If you really care about someone attempting to make a joke then you have way to much time on your hands. We don’t need you.
Give me a break. Another so called sports reporter with little brain and ability.
Tom Brady could be a role model to anyone of my three boys. Lighten up. Go find something real to write about
when was the last game you were at? Brady knows what things go on at almost every sporting event…especially football..its called tailgating and yes most enjoy their alcoholic beverage of choice. so to slap down on him over something that has gone on for years and will continue for many more is plain stupid. forethermore, fans are going to be wild whether they have booze or not…all part of being a true fan.
If he said Do unselfish Deeds, Would anyone do it? Yeah! Let’s blame Tom for all the things that Idiots do. Lets use that excuse : A Sports Figure said something, so Let’s Rampage the Village. Use your brains, Idiots.
I don’t like Brady…usually because he ends up torching my team…that’s beside the point. Do people really have a problem with his statement…err joke.? Who cares?! He’s being irresponsible for promoting drinking? Have you ever been to a parking lot to tailgate? Trust me…he’s not making an impact. Have you ever been sitting at home watching it on t.v.? They rarely have beer commercials on during the games. People need to quit getting their panties in a bunch. People do stupid things…they don’t need any encouragement. And when they do stupid things…why is it never their own stupid fault? I’ve been plenty boozed up to games before….never had the inclination to start a fight, taser someone, shoot someone, stomp someone out, etc.
Here you have another liberal trying to stir the pot. Do you really call your self a reporter, blogger, whatever. BAD
PR just should have put the spin on it that Brady was ‘Mocking’ the fans who get drunk and disorderly. That would have made more sense that the water drinking thing.
People need to stop being so politcally correct and grow up! Fans need to be accountable for their own actions, stop trying to pass the buck! These players just show up for another day at work and the fans don’t know how to behave like adults. Brady should not have to explain his comments. Don’t you get it, he is just saying have a good time!!! The responsibility is yours!!
Where do I read all the comments made. As usual, you can’t find an easy way to read everything that has been posted, or if someone posted over you.
IF YOU COULD THROW OR EVEN COME CLOSE TO WHAT TOM COULD DO ON THE FIELD,YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT,IT WAS JUST GUY TALK ,THATS IT ,
People please give it a break. What, is it wrong to make harmless jokes, everything and everyone needs to be politically correct. So what if he said have a few drinks so what. I think people just love creating static and looking for something to complain about. It suppose it’s jealousy or maybe just stupidity.
Drinking early dose not mean drinking yo self silly, be smart enough to know what the world’s # 1 QB meant to say. Fully hydrate! OK?
