QB Brady led Patriots to victory over Eagles

In the preseason opener on Thursday night, quarterback Tom Brady led the New England Patriots to a 27-25 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. A lot of fans could not help to kiss the tom brady jersey they are wearing. That was really a good beginning for the Pats taking that it was Brady’s first game since tearing ligaments in his left knee in Week 1 last year.

Brady was still wearing a protective brace, but he ran well in the pocket and appeared to be not affected by the surgically repaired left knee. He also managed to complete 10 of 15 passes for 100 yards with one interception and throw two touchdown passes to tight end Chris Baker respectively in the first and second quarter, making only one mistake in the first quarter when he had a pass intercepted by cornerback Sheldon Brown.

The two-time Super Bowl MVP had started 128 consecutive games before he sat out the entire exhibition season last year because of an unspecified foot injury.

Dennis Paiva said he will beg passers-by for money to pay for Brady's planters

Dennis Paiva was a 61-year-old convicted bank robber. He unwittingly stole two flower planters worth $8,000 from behind Tom Brady's Boston condominium, and he told reporters that he will have to panhandle to pay restitution.

Paiva said that he scours the streets for trash to sell and just happened to find the planters behind a condominium because they were next to the trash, but did not find any bears jersey. He took it and sold them for $450. After he was caught by police on surveillance video, he said that he did not know the planters belonged to the New England Patriots quarterback TOm Brady. He agreed to pay $4,000 restitution to Brady's real estate trust. But he says he can't work after recent surgery so he has to beg passers-by for money.
