Brady's Stolen Jerseys

Reading an interesting article about the FBI investigation into who stole Tom Brady’s Super Bowl jersey. Happened right after two Super Bowls. The guy had a good plan, following the head coach into the locker room, then hanging out until the right moment. Brady had placed his jersey inside his own personal duffle bag, then went to wash his face. When he returned the jersey was gone. The media had yet to be let into the locker room, and several cameras where taping. The FBI was able to determine who took it – a collector from Mexico.

 

Brady hadn’t reported that his Super Bowl jersey from a few years earlier had also been stolen, in also the exact same way. A picture of that jersey, with the grass stains still in place, had been making the rounds in the collecting world. One collector knew where the picture had originated, and had asked for details, but the jersey owner went silent. Then when the second jersey went missing, investigators were able to recover both.

The FBI returned the jersey to the Patriots, and Brady received the jersey back the morning before the champions were honored before a Red Sox game. Brady carried the jersey out on the field, where his tight end Gronk swiped the garment. A chase ensued, which ended with the teammates rolling around on the outfield grass.

Tuesday night so Ceil was working with the homeless women at The Table, on Delk Road. I did stuff at work until after six. Drove straight home. M had ordered himself a Dominos pizza, then later went off with friends. He’s been helping out on a farm down off Howell Mill somewhere. He came back all dirty. Will had driven up to help Ceil with yardwork again.

 

I cooked myself a couple of quesadillas. Used up a bunch of cheese and rice and leftover beef. Finished watched a Netflix movie, that Always Be My Maybe that didn’t turn out to be that great. Spent a while searching for potential movies to watch. Flipped past Teen Jeopardy, the Muslim contestants fumbling over the American history and Bible and sports questions Watched some Braves and some of the movie Moneyball and later the NFL Network’s Top Ten Comebacks. M and I watched Comedians in Cars Drinking Coffee. Seinfeld and Kevin Hart buy the same Nike sneakers. I’d seen it before but M wanted to see it.

 

Barney is doing better. He took his medicine and is eating a special diet of turkey, rice, and pumpkin. Getting back to his frisky self.

 

At work we all have two screens, so we can look at info on one screen that can help us work on the other. Some even subdivide the screen into smaller segments, with four or more things showing on the screen. I usually have email on one screen and the company computer where I enter orders and stuff on the other. With this problem with my right eye I just about gotta work off my left screen. My eye appointment is tomorrow.

 

By odd chance Anna’s appointment is right before mine. Anna spent last night with W&MC, then had an interview in Atlanta today. She and Will visited Joel and Charles Norman at Bellwood Coffee afterwards.

Wednesday night M cooked “Chickfila” sandwiches, using a special recipe for the breading that included graham crackers I think. Cooked in peanut oil. Also tossed salad and the “everything” potato chips from Whole Foods. Had those sandwiches for lunch just now. I toasted the plain white bread buns that M had got, and added hot sauce that I’d picked up from Taco Bell (mild). Not long ago I went inside Taco Bell to order and while waiting decided to take back several packets of their mild sauce. I’ve been adding them to lunches that have needed a kick. Now I’m almost out.

 

Never heard of Grub.  Thinking about lining up what to eat while Ceil is out of town Friday to next Tuesday. Don’t need to eat too much with the Peachtree coming up.. 

 

Trying to prepare for the Peachtree but my hips and legs have been more sore than usual. My be the shoes I’ve been wearing. Will try to switch them up.
