Andrea Kremer Hearts Tom Brady
It's a few days old now, but, OK, judging from this "interview" from Sunday, it's only a matter of time before Andrea Kremer, Gisele and Tom are all on the Dr. Phil show hashing this out.

In A Year, He'll Invade And Occupy Columbus, Georgia

Fortunately, Saban has been able to keep the loss...
