Gotta give bennies to all those illegals, don’tcha know.
Nice little bidness youse got here. would be a PITY if anything should HAPPEN to it...
"Be a shame if someone was to set fire to it."
I guess this author neglected to note that the NFL came out with the official statement that, "One ball was down almost 2-psi, three were down almost 1-psi, and the rest were either just under, or within, official spec.
The intercepted one in the possession of the Colts General Manager, who turned it over to officials, is the only one down 2-psi... things that make you go, "Hmmmmm....."
The league investigation is not even looking at Tom Brady or any Patriots. They are looking at the ones who ran to the ref with the only "bad" ball in the game. Must really suck to be a lying hate-filled bigot.

earnings: truck + winnings = $34,000 + 97,000 = $131,000
federal taxes (39.6%) plus medicare (1.9%)
then he needs to pay state taxes, which should only be arizona since he earned that money in arizona. that’s another 4.54% on what’s left after fed taxes.
federal tax: $51,876
medicare tax: $2,489
gift tax: $5,000
arizona state tax: $3,280

total tax: $ 62,645
total tax rate: 47.8%
of course, that’s not including the 6.1% 0bamacare tax i’ve heard about. i’m unsure how that would factor in.
people wanted a flat tax... well, we have it
However, that’s a drop in the bucket considering that he makes US$12 million per year as the Patriots’ quarterback. And that’s not including his wife Gisele Bündchen, who makes over US$50 million per year as a fashion model.
Re: The Truck
Brady could probably avoid all tax liability if he refused to accept the truck, and Chevy decided “independently” to give it to Malcolm Butler, the same player Brady thinks should be MVP.
But then, Butler would owe federal and state income tax (close to 50%) on the truck.
Since Malcolm Butler is an undrafted rookie free agent, his salary is “just” $420,000 plus his Super Bowl share.
Butler's best choice is probably to sell the truck, pay the taxes, and keep what's left over.
Unless he loves the truck!
Maybe he can save some money if he deflates it.

Back in the 60’s, my Friends Father ran a Beer Distributorship in Southern California.
He was friends with Merlin Olsen. Merlin would work for him in the Off Season to make some extra money.
Back then the Paychecks weren’t all that big. Merlin needed to make some extra cash.
I still remember watching my Friends Father, a big old dude who also had played College Football, and Merlin goofing off playing catch with empty Beer Kegs.
Merlin was the nicest guy you could ever meet.
According to Kanye, Brady should have given the trophy to Russell Wilson.
