Adventures in Clarification

Tom Brady had this to say to Patriot fans before Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers:

“Start drinking early. Get nice and rowdy. It’s a 4:15 game. There is lots of time to get lubed up.”

So it fell to Patriots media relations director Stacey James to clarify Brady’s comments.

Brady was not suggesting that fans drink to excess. Rather he meant to “stay hydrated, drink a lot of water, be loud, drink responsibly,” James said.
