Tom Brady’s letter to Plaxico Burress
Earlier this week, the New York Giants’ Plaxico Burress issued a guarantee that the Giants would win the Super Bowl by a score of 23-17, and thus limit the Patriots's record-setting offense to an unprecedented season-low of 17 points.
Below? Tom Brady's response....

Dear Plaxico,
Hey man. It’s Tom. No worries.
You don’t need my last name. Hell, I don’t need my last name. I’m just Tom. I’m the Tom. It’s my name now. All other Toms should probably change their names. To Diet Tom.
Heard you made a Super Bowl prediction. 23-17. That’s cool. No worries.
But… 17 points.
17 points?
Um. Okay.
What’s your prediction for the other three quarters?
Really. What is it? I think it should be somewhere between 74 and the Declaration of Independence.
Do you not think I can hang up 1776? That’s cool. No worries. I’m down with a challenge. You’re entitled to your opinion. Like everyone. That’s your right. No worries. If you don’t think I can, you don’t think I can. You may be right.
You’re not right. Not at all. Not at none. Not at anything.
I can Plaxy. I can. And I will. I will drop 1776 on you. And I will light up the sky with fireworks. No worries.
The British are coming Plaxy. The British are coming. And this time, they’re in full pads. And this time, they’re in blue. And this time they’re Americans.
The Americans are coming Plaxy. The Americans are coming.
