Tom Brady's Twitter Handle is...

Still sorting football cards.  No Vikings yet (Well, a couple, but no base cards, which is what I'm sorting right now.  Both Vikings inserts are Adrian Peterson though, so that is good.)  Not that exciting though.  Think I only have 1 Dolphin too.

I did find something rather interesting on the back of #125--Tom Brady's card.



See that part at the top?  The empty blue area below the number?  On most cards, that is where the player's Twitter handle goes.  like @Nocturok (Shameless self promotion for a social media outlet I rarely use anymore, but if you want to follow me go right ahead.)  But nope.  None for Tom Brady.

I'm kind of surprised by this.  I never looked too closely and just happened to notice it on his card (more on why I was looking closer in a bit) but I figured if anyone would be on Twitter, it would be one of the biggest names in the NFL.

Not too suprising (and the reason I was looking closer at his card) is there is no mention of Deflate-gate.  Maybe there is on some other company's cards, but not Topps 2015 football.  They did that for Adrian Peterson as well.  I think Score mentioned that he had a year off or something, but that was it. Not that it matters, especially for something like Deflate-Gate, which didn't cause Brady to miss any games.  I just thought it was rather interesting how card companies handle stuff like that.

BTW, If anyone from Topps reads this, I have an idea for an insert set.  Famous controversies..
