This Just In! Sources Inform Us Tom Brady Has Had the Lindbergh Baby! For An As-Yet Unnamed Expansion Team in Los Angeles!!!

News that Tom Brady is now rich-er and will be quarterback of the New England Patriots for awhile longer yet makes me very glad as a football watcher, but not nearly as glad as I am for past decisions made as a mass media consumer.

Time gets more precious as you get older. My time was more precious than to waste a nanosecond consuming speculation disguised as information about Brady's contract negotiations. The outcome was preordained. Therefore, it was not worth thinking about the process by which that outcome was reached.

(BTW: I cannot prove this, but I suspect Brady and Peyton Manning have had informal discussions about their financial situations, and came to a mutual agreement Brady would sign a new deal first. The two men are not friends and are ferocious professional rivals. They are also professional peers, however, and both know darn well their financial dealings with their teams were and are linked.)

But as is too often the case, I digress. The point of this essay is that life is too short for ANYONE to have spent a nanosecond fretting that Brady might leave the Pats or receive short money. That goes for newborn infants, too.
