80 Things Tom Brady Can Do During His Four-Game Suspension

Eighteen months. Eighteen MONTHS. That is how long Roger Goodell and the National Football League have been leading a crazy crusade against America's golden boy, Thomas Edward Brady, over the air pressure in a ball. Please reread that sentence. That is an actual sentence with actual facts in it.

Anyway, Tom decided to end the 18 month craziness by accepting his renewed 4-game suspension at the beginning of the 2016-2017 season. I thought it only my duty to provide Tommy with a few things he can do while he twiddles his thumbs and waits for King Roger to let him back on the field to continue his Hall of Fame legacy in the NFL. Here are a few things Tom Brady can do while he sits out for four games:

1. Polish his four Super Bowl rings.


2. Admire his four Super Bowl rings.

3. Re-watch his four Super Bowl performances for fun.

4. Write an op-ed about his Super Bowl wins and what it means to be the best quarterback in the NFL.

5. Coach Jimmy Garoppolo up for the first four games.

6. Make another commercial for the Beautyrest Black mattress as if the first one wasn't already stunning.

7. Resign his contract with Uggs.

8. Attend a fashion show for his wife, Gisele.

9. Watch his kids' sports games.

10. Go grab dinner with Gronk, Julian, Danny and Bill- or is that not even allowed under his suspension?

11. Call into WEEI and bash Goodell as an anonymous fan.

12. Grow out his hair and get a whacky cut like many hairdos we've seen in his career.

13. Watch TV.

14. Go to the beach if it's still warm out.


15. Go to a Sox game and probably throw out the first pitch.

16. Make some killer Spotify playlists.

17. Use the magic conch shell to call Gronk.

20. Stretch his muscles so they don't cramp up during those first four weeks.

21. Sneak into Gillette and throw anyway.

22. Start a series or two on netflix.

25. Play a few rounds of golf.

26. Update his Facebook statuses even more frequently.

27. Run a few extra fundraisers for Best Buddies, his charity of choice to devote his time to.

29. Coach alongside Jim Harbaugh at his alma mater, Michigan.

30. Get into beekeeping again.


31. Take more selfies with Coach Bill.

32. Watch the presidential debates. (But in reality, I'd love Tom to run instead).

34. Join a yoga class.

35. Go on a bike ride.

36. Take a physics class to really learn about the air pressure inside of a football.

44. Start planning an awesome Halloween costume.

45. Learn a new hobby like knitting or gardening.

46. Travel around the world for four weeks.

47. Practice his high-fives.


48. Call Peyton up and ask him to talk to Goodell to cut the suspension short.


49. Call Papa John and order some pizzas- on Peyton.

50. Swim with sharks.

51. Go to Buffalo Wild Wings.


52. Go on "Dancing With The Stars."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
