Bears fans are just goofy.
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?
(Trust me - I already know the answer in this "mother can do no wrong' and "father can do no right' legal system we have)
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.
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.
Must remember to never stand too close to Rick Telander as his breath obviously smells like BS.
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.

"(They) amicably ended their three-year relationship several weeks ago. ..." -December 14, 2006.
Paternity test is warranted.
This columnist is clearly a product of our stellar journalism schools.
Well I basically agree with the article - and I'm a big Pats fan.
I think I am offended. Men can be dogs no matter what their race is. If I were Tom Brady's ex, I would have gotten him to marry me for the baby's sake. (Plus it can't be all that bad waking up to him in the morning)
Just as one could laugh at fellow superstar -- and equally white and All-American -- quarterback Matt Leinart, who impregnated a fellow student in his last year at USC and never had much interest in her, beyond the obvious.
Again, Matt wanted no part in having a baby. This chick knew what she had in her grasp, so to speak, and she made the most of it. She's pretty and tall (5'10") and she saw the opportunity to procreate with a tall handsome NFL QB to-be. Going to a sperm bank for Leinart's or Brady's sperm would cost a fortune, but these women know they can get it for free.
I find this very disappointing. Brady always seemed like a straight arrow. It seems that he has swallowed whole, however, the modern sensibility when it comes to sexual activity and marriage. Why can't celebrities be models of sexual continence outside of marriage, and have normal marriages and families? They should feel a responsibility to be good role models for their fans. I'm fed up with American celebrity culture. They're more anti-models than role models.
Telander is one of many sports "journalists" who wants to make the Olbermann Leap into regular news work, and thinks the way to achieve it is to write opinion columns disguised as sports commentary.
If I were Tom, I would get a paternity test ASAP. Sounds like the ex wants an instant family, just add money.
This is one angry guy. I think he is a frustrated athlete. He takes out his not making it to the "show" on anyone who did make it.
What a tempest in a teapot. This dyspeptic author is in dire need of a Lewinsky.
One reason this idea is so prevalent is because far left, race-baiting assholes like Pitts and this columnist have joined up with the feminists and democrats and have spent decades proclaiming that fathers are unnecessary or even dangerous, and that women and children are better off having the man replaced by a government check. You want to whine about why so many kids don't have fathers, Telander, look in a friggin' mirror to see one of the reasons why.
