Just as with Telander's attack on Tony Dungy's Christianity a few weeks ago, this one starts out strange and keeps getting weirder particularly the race angle.

With Britney (her mother was too stupid to know how to spell Brittany) spears in rehab, why isn't that alone enought to take custody of those poor childrn?

The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.

I guess it's just a coincidence that the Pats and Colts beat the Bears this year.

Sorry, I don't get your point. Is it OK to get pregnant outside of marriage? Is it OK to get your girlfriend pregnant? Are the statistics wrong about the number of white and black babies born outside of marriage? (I think the stats I have seen about black babies born outside of marriage puts the number higher than the one quoted here.)

What this dope does not get is that this was basically a man trap. Their 3 year relationship was over, and all of a sudden she's preagnant, now he has to take care of a child he did not want.

Seems to me that he would know how to prevent this from happening.

See my tagline. I have disdain and contempt for most "celebrities" for reasons such as this.

Must remember to never stand too close to Rick Telander as his breath obviously smells like BS.

But what do stats about black babies have to do with the QB & his pregnant ex-girlfriend?

I suppose he could have kept it in his pants, but that might be too much to ask of any jock.

Alley cats are alley cats. It is sad to see such talent with the morals of alley cats.

This guy is right on the money.

Brady is irresponsible, as is his former girlfriend, and some little kid gets to pay for it. There is tons of research that kids do best with their own dads & moms raising them.

"What this dope does not get is that this was basically a man trap. Their 3 year relationship was over, and all of a sudden she's preagnant, now he has to take care of a child he did not want."

If this was a man trap, it lasted for three years, most likely not a celibate three years. It's been said that a stiff (can I say it here?) has no conscience. I should like to add to that that the man behind it can, and should, have a conscience.

It takes two to tango, and this pair has only contributed to my sense that Robert Ringer was right in his mid 1980's book - "How You Can Find Happiness During the Collapse of Western Civilization." It is collapsing all around us.

That is what I don't understand either. If he was just bringing attention to the issue of athletes having babies out of wedlock, why bring race into the equation. Plenty of professional athletes have babies out of wedlock. Lebron James had a child with his high school sweetheart out of wedlock.

Put down your bucket full of stones rev. Let's find out for sure if the girl is expecting and if so, is Brady the father.
If she is expecting at least the baby is going to be born and not aborted.

Boy: Do you have that one right.

If the mother hasnt ripped the kids arms out at the root,its almost impossible for the father to get custody.

You hit the nail on the head. While at LSU it was basically a competition on what woman could get with the athletes on campus, especially football or if their prospects of going pro were really good. It didn't matter the race of the athlete these women on campus were like vultures when it came to these guys. One girl was in 4 year relationship with a guy that went in the first round of the NFL draft a few years back, as soon as she sensed he was losing interest all of sudden she was pregnant.
