Tom Brady's Celebrity Playlist. Pretty much what you'd expect: Aerosmith, Fitty, Eminem, U2. Can you imagine him grooving along to "Jesus Walks"? I can't. (You need iTunes for the link to work, and maybe a mac too.)

Nice game by the Sox yesterday, good to see Tedy Bruschi looking healthy. I have to say, if he can't play anymore, the Pats better give him a nice job in the front office or a coaching position. I would be pretty pissed if they kicked him to the curb after being the heart and soul of their defense these past few years.
