Keep your day job, Tom Brady

The New England Patriots tried to get a little tricky early in the second quarter of Super Bowl LII with a Danny Amendola pass to Tom Brady. It did not go well.

Tom Brady’s wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, once famously said, “My husband cannot f—–g throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time.”

It was immediately after the Patriots lost 21-17 to the New York Giants in 2012, and the Patriots’ receivers butterfingers had hit Gisele’s last nerve.

As it turns out, she was pretty much right.

On 3rd-and-5 at the Philadelphia 35-yard line, Brady handed the ball off to James White, who pitched it to Danny Amendola, who then planted his feet and threw a pretty back-shoulder pass to a wide-open Brady.

Streaking down the sideline, Brady looked back to the ball, brought his hands up to catch it and…watched it slip through his fingertips.

Down six, the Patriots then went for it on 4th-and-5 but Brady, perhaps still rattled by his failure to secure a perfect pass, couldn’t hit tight end Rob Gronkowski. The Eagles took over at their own 35-yard line and 3:05 later, had added another six points to their lead, which became 15-3.

Believe it or not, this isn’t the first time Amendola has attempted a pass to Brady against the Eagles.

But the last time it happened, in 2015, the outcome was, uh, a little bit more successful:

Who knows; maybe after this game we’ll hear Amendola’s girlfriend tell reporters that her boyfriend can’t throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time.

Late in the second quarter, Brady had completed just 56.3 percent of his passes on 9-of-16 passing for 191 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions.

Oh, and one dropped pass.
