I think it’s sick the way these lowlife paparazzi creeps hound people. The guy should be allowed to live his life, pick up the mail, whatever, like everyone else.
[K: THAT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY. IT’S NOT LIKE HE GREW UP OR LIVES IN A VACUUM. HE KNOWS THAT WHEN YOU ARE A FAMOUS FOOTBALL STAR WHO GETS PAID MILLIONS IN ENDORSEMENTS AND ARE DATING A FAMOUS UNDERWEAR MODEL, YOU WILL BE FILMED. IF HE DIDN’T WANT TO BE “HOUNDED,” THEN WHY DID HE ACCEPT GAZILLIONS FOR THIS SILLY STETSON AD (AND OTHER ENDORSEMENTS, LIKE THE MILLION DOLLAR UNDERWEAR MODELING CONTRACT HE’S CONSIDERING)–SO NO ONE WOULD PAY ATTENTION AND THEN NOT BUY STETSON? IF HE DIDN’T WANT CAMERAS FOLLOWING HIM, HE SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN ANOTHER PROFESSION, GIRLFRIEND, AND LIFESTYLE. SO SAD, TOO BAD.
THE ONLY PERSON I FEEL SORRY FOR IS HIS FATHERLESS KID HE ABANDONED. IF HE STUCK WITH THE KID, INSTEAD OF STRUTTING OUT WITH A NEW SUPERMODEL, I GUARANTEE THE CAMERAS WOULD BE ELSEWHERE. SADLY, BEING A SCHMUCK–A WHIPPED SCHMUCK AT THAT–IS “GLAMOROUS” THESE DAYS. DS]

I don’t agree. Knowing that it goes with the territory doesn’t make it right. These photo guys are scum. It’s only a matter of time before they kill someone, if it hasn’t happened already. I think a guy should be allowed to make all the ads he please, stupid as they might be, and date all the underwear models he pleases, dumb as they might be, without having these creeps dogging his every move. It violates basic decency.
As far as his abandonment of his kid goes, sure, it’s wrong, but it’s got nothing to do with the actions of these creeps.

Kishke–
In most cases, the paparazzi are tipped off to the comings and goings of celebs by their own press agents.
AND–a very easy way to avoid the “stalking” would be to move outside of media centers. Except they don’t do this. If Princess Diana had married a doctor from some small town in Montana, she would still be alive today.
This is truly a co-dependent relationship, between the stars and the paparazzi.
As Deb says, if Brady had wanted to be low key, he wouldn’t have signed up for the endorsement deals, or be hanging out with some trophy chick.
There a *lots* of unknown gorgeous women out there, so choosing Giselle was for ego and PR.

Paparazzi are annoying. And they’re the biggest problem — not self-inflicted, that is — that these stars face. The incredibly minor downside to a charmed life; and if you don’t believe it, try getting a NYPD street cop to act as YOUR personal bodyguard and taxi-hailer, even for a few minutes.
Stars who complain about paparazzi are like producers/authors who complain about fan-fiction; if they’ve got a brain in their heads, they know you start worrying when the paparazzi and the fan-fiction DOESN’T show up. Just ask Peter Warrick (drafted in round 1 of the same 2000 draft that snared Brady) how many paparazzi have been dogging him lately.
Oh, and there’s also that First Amendment thing; it seems to protect “paparazzi” too….

The paparazzi hound celebrities because magazines pay big bucks for their photos because Americans buy their stupid magazines. I can’t say it enough – most Americans are stupid and they shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

Coudn’t agree with you more Love,
The “right” to vote in this country shouldn’t be a free right, it should be an earned right–A test should be devised and given to anyone who wants to vote. Questions like who are our Supreme Court Judges, how man people are in the Senate, the House, some rudimentary government skills and knowledge should be had in order to vote.

First off had the Pats defensive line been able to wrap their arms around Eli Manning without letting him slip away we would be talking about the gutsy game Brady played (under a tremendous pass rush) and how he hit Randy Moss with the game winning TD with 2:40 to go, so cut the crap about him being the Super Bowl loser. Had Patriots (now with the Eagles)cornerback Assante Samuel been able to hold onto an interception on the final drive we would be calling Brady the greatest of all time. They did not lose the Super Bowl because of Tom Brady. From what I understand, Bridget Moynahan dumped him. It takes two to make a baby and two to make a family and neither you nor I know what the real story was with that relationship. It is not as if Tom Brady knocked up some poor, illiterate waitress at a roadside greasy spoon outside of Shreveport Louisiana.
