A New Hampshire woman will spend more than two years in prison, partly because she wanted to see Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play the New England Patriots. She also used the company’s credit cards to make over 1,000 unauthorized personal purchases, including the Patriots tickets and the hot tub. She also used the stolen money on things like plane tickets and miscellaneous herbs and spices. She also claimed that her misuse of the company credit card was due to her clicking the wrong button at checkout, even though it happened over 1,000 times. And when she was fired for stealing from the company, prosecutors said Pratt demanded that the owner’s widow pay her a Christmas bonus.

On Sunday afternoon in Dallas, Brady made his second start as the lead analyst for Fox’s No. 1 NFL booth — and it went much better for him than that second career start as a quarterback did. 📺: FOX | @NFL pic.twitter.com/lG5BriNNfc — FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) September 15, 2024Brady personalized some stuff, and that was winning commentary, including how he felt about facing 35-year-old Saints linebacker Demario Davis when he was a player. He mocked himself for a viral moment last week — Fox rules analyst Mike Pereira leaving him hanging on a fist pump. He audibly groaned when Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott missed a third-quarter first-down pass in the flat that would have been a touchdown.

☆ Opinion: Credibility is the key at Trump trial

The idea that Cohen talked to Trump about Daniels on that call “was a lie,” Blanche alleged. Moreover, my experience has been that juries don’t decide based upon one moment — they base their judgment on an overall view.”There were allegedly three parties aware of the scheme to conceal the real reason Trump paid Cohen more than $400,000 in supposed legal fees: Trump, Cohen and Allen Weisselberg, then-chief financial officer of the Trump Organization. “Weisselberg could be the linchpin to validate Cohen’s claims about Trump agreeing to reimburse him through Trump Organization, as a business expense,” wrote attorney Stacy Schneider. Trump seems to be tempted to go mano a mano and show that he is better fit to be commander-in-chief. The new requirement for GOP politicians wanting to demonstrate their loyalty to Trump seems to be visiting the Manhattan courthouse where he’s on trial.

But a number of the jokes touched on his divorce from his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, with whom Brady shares two kids, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11. It’s hard to believe that, with so many years of experience with both parenthood and global stardom, Brady didn’t foresee that appearing on “The Greatest Roast” would essentially be accepting an invite to have his family skewered. He’s serving as an executive producer of “The Greatest Roast” series, so he clearly stood to benefit from the attention his episode received. Everyone — but especially an executive producer of this very series about roasting people — knows that few topics are off limits in a roast. Maybe he really didn’t see coming how hard this would be on his kids.

For Mercedes, it is a devastating loss, unable to retain a generational talent and the face of its entire motorsport brand. He has been so successful with Mercedes that it’s almost hard to imagine the 39-year-old Briton racing for any other team. Hamilton holds the all-time record for F1 wins (103), achieving 82 of those with Mercedes and 21 with McLaren. It also reunites him with Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur, who Hamilton raced for at junior level. Last season, a Mercedes driver failed to win a race across a whole season for the first time since 2011.

Tom Brady’s recent retirement from the NFL was accompanied by a widely repeated bit of trivia—and not about football. Brady, who was drafted by the Montreal Expos as a catcher in the 1995 amateur baseball draft, was said to have been the final former Expos player or draft pick still active in professional sports. The Expos moved from Montreal to become the Washington Nationals ahead of the 2005 MLB season and are increasingly a totem of bygone days in baseball, their famous bubble logo a symbol of nostalgia.
