Barstool Sports is a free newspaper in Boston that covers sports and other such news events throughout the city. Uncle Buck, who is a writer for the paper asked me to create the above comic for the below article. The comic was then featured on their website along with the before mentioned article...

Brady Boston Herald/Inside Track - First, let's discuss Peyton: The Super Bowl champ, as you know, hosted last week's "SNL" and, in his monologue, told a story about visiting a Boston veterans hospital and being taunted by a Pats fan named Joe O'Malley. "What do Tom Brady and the circus have in common?" Peyton said Joe asked him. "They both have two more rings than you." Well, according to former ESPN.com writer Dan Shanoff, that was not how the joke originally went. In the dress rehearsal, Burlington home gal Amy Poehler was dressed in a Pats jersey and she is the one who delivered the "two more rings than you" line.

To which, Peyton replied "That's not the ONLY thing he'll have two more of . . ." Oh, ouch! SNL spokesguy Marc Lepis confirmed that the joke was axed before Peyton & Co. went live from New York.

"Yes," he said. "The monologue changed from dress to air. As do many sketches." Perhaps all the Pats fans in the cast revolted. Or maybe Bundchen's denial that she is also sporting a Brady Bump made the whole thing moot. Who knows. What we do know is that Peyton says smack talk about rings motivates him to come back next season and "kick y'all's ass."

Maybe the joke was pulled because it is dumb. If it had happened when the rumor of a 2nd baby was going on then maybe. Or maybe if he used the "Trouble with protection" line on Tommy then it could have worked...

The Track also reported that Giselle took a shot at Bridget Moynahan in a foreign magazine saying, "I don't know when it's going to happen (have kid, start family)," Gi continues. "Everything in life has to be planned. I'm very old-fashioned. I believe in being married and going to your husband and saying 'Let's have a kid.'"
