Patriots Fans Overly Fearful for Tom Brady's Safety

FANFARE Kennedy, Brady (Photo: Getty Images) As anyone who has spent any extended time in New England knows all too well, fans of Boston-area sports franchises are some of the most obnoxious individuals you will ever encounter in any capacity in life. This is undoubtedly because most supporters of the Red Sox and Celtics are never able to get over the fact that they were born and bred in a city that is essentially New York's partial-birth kid brother, saddling them with a deep-seated inferiority complex for the rest of their lives (which are mainly spent playing Golden Tee in bars with guys named Sully).

That's the only way to explain the reaction of Patriots fans to the fact that their star metrosexual quarterback Tom Brady has been spending the lead-up to the Super Bowl in New York City, bringing flowers to the West Village townhouse of girlfriend Gisele Bundchen, hanging out at hot spot Butter, and, perhaps most noteworthy, ambling around town in an air cast.
