Ten Questions for Tom

Time to hear from Tom Brady. Though I doubt we will anytime soon.

As many have pointed out in the last few hours (and weeks), Brady has had a strange reaction since the story broke that the Patriots may have doctored the footballs before the AFC Championship Game in January. Brady’s response has been more bemusement than outrage, more pleasantly dismissive than feisty and defensive. Why?

Actually, there are a lot of questions Brady needs to answer if America—and not just the six New England states—is to begin to believe that he’s innocent of the charges from the NFL, charges that resulted in a four-game suspension for him and a $1 million fine for the organization and the lost of first- and fourth-round draft picks.
