Berman raised eyebrows by admitting that he had the Patriots quarterback on his fantasy team. Responding to reporters’ questions, Berman said that Brady’s inclusion on his fantasy roster “played no role whatsoever” in his judicial decision. “As a federal judge, I made this ruling based strictly on legal precedents and the merits of the case,” Berman said. “But, as a fantasy-team owner, sure, it’s going to be awesome to see Tom in there for all sixteen games.” The judge said that he was especially looking forward to seeing how Brady takes advantage of what he called “an amazing array of offensive weapons.” “Gronk is going to have a big year, and even if Julian Edelman isn’t ready for Week One, I think Reggie Wayne is going to surprise a lot of people,” Berman, who also has selected Wayne for his fantasy team, said. For his part, Brady minimized the role that Berman’s fantasy team might have played in Thursday’s legal victory. “A win’s a win,” he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeC36 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 The Borowitz Report is a "comedy" column and is not based in fact what so ever, so please no one take this seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Harper Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 It's a joke. And Borowitz tends to pick on the Jets, as a general matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC36 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 It's a joke. And Borowitz tends to pick on the Jets, as a general matter. I was warning other people. I figured you knew it was. I had never heard of him and got sucked in yesterday by a headline that said "The Pats Never Bothered to steal the Jets Playbook." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
