COMMENTARY
On Sunday, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will shed the Lyle Lanley persona he’s inhabited lately in the public push for his new book, and morph back into the superhero everybody expects for his weekly three-hour stint.
He’ll be selling what makes him great. His athletic prowess on the football field. Not whatever new supplements his Victor Conte-like pupil has conjured to price-gouge the public with this time.
It’s a strange bipartisanship within the fabric of Patriot fans these days when it comes to Brady’s legacy. Instead of following the political road that many assumed he might one day take, Brady’s life after football (whenever that may be) may indeed include his current role as a snake oil salesman, thoroughly sold by the pliability given to him by electrolyte magnet Alex Guerrero.
