Brady Fumbles

So I haven't posted and what news report do I decide to comment on? None other than pretty-boy QB Tom Brady (New England Patriots).

It is being reported that Tom Brady is going to be a dad...to two different women. A few months ago, it was confirmed that Brady's ex-girlfriend was preggers with his child. Apparently, most people thought this was great. Because all children born out of wedlock to ex-lovers is the way we are supposed to do it. Besides, Tom is a great and stand up guy who is probably sent from Heaven to save mankind (at least that is the impression I generally get from reports I read...though I live in the lion's den when it comes to the Patriots). Everyone ooo'ed and ahhh'ed at this fantastic news. Again, isn't it everyone's dream to have a child with someone they have ALREADY BROKEN UP WITH? Apparently, yes.

The real kick comes with reports today that Tom Brady is also expecting a child with his new lova'. Is anyone outraged? Nope. Most seem to be having fun coming up with creative sentences and headlines (like mine, or more uplifting ones like "It seems there's no defense that can stop Tom Brady — on or off the field."...seriously? Thought he lost the last two years in the playoffs) instead of asking, "are these two married?" and "what about the chick who is carrying his other kid"?

But it doesn't matter because we are currently a world that accepts such behavior as this and turns our noses up at 'close minded' people with morals and Godly beliefs.
It is sad. The role models for our children are pathetic. Little girls adore Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan, both of whom have rehabphobia...but that is okay, getting drunk all the time and the like is wicked cool! Boys (and girls) love Tom Brady. He is the epitome of perfection. Great athelete, nice, yadda. And he gets women pregnant that he isn't even married too! Reach for the stars children!

We can't control how these adults act. I may come across as judgmental above, but I do no wish to be. I am not perfect. I once heard a preacher say that you can't expect better when they are not saved...they don't know any better. And a lot of parents don't know any better to tell their children that this is nice behavior. That they should't act that way or dress that way. The sadder part is this. A lot of Christian parents won't say anything about it either. They do know better.

Oh, and Tommy boy...take a cue from the field and get some better protection.
Couldn't resist.
