Jim Donaldson, a writer with the Providence Journal, wrote today that he’s worried about Tom Brady.

He’s not worried that New England’s quarterback is struggling to recover from knee surgery. He’s not worried that Brady is aging. He’s worried because Brady got married to his supermodel girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen, last week.

“I’m worried that he may be thinking more about Dolce and Gabbana than the Jets and Dolphins,” Donaldson wrote.

(Dolce and Gabbana, he writes, were the brand of floral lace collars worn by Bundchen’s dogs were wearing at the ceremony.)

I typically stay away from the gossip columns when searching for Zoneblitz fodder. But this particular story needed to be mocked. If the story had indicated that Donaldson was worried about Brady’s recovery from a torn ACL suffered week one of the 2008 season, I could buy the story.

If the story had questioned his age, no problem. I’ve seen no sign of Brady’s abilities wearing down but that can happen suddenly, so such a story would have at least been based on a legitimate premise.

But he’s worried … BECAUSE BRADY GOT MARRIED!?!?!?

Good grief.

This is a guy who wasn’t a full-time starter in college who got to the NFL via a sixth-round draft pick and fought and fought to turn himself into a Hall of Fame caliber quarterback.

This is a guy who has said he is more than on track to play this season – and whose team is confident enough that is the case to have traded their backup plan to Kansas City last week.

Hell, he’s been dating Bundchen for years now – does Donaldson really think wedding her rather than just bedding her is going to change Brady’s outlook on the game?

It’s too bad the guys at FireJoeMorgan.com shut down their blog of media critiques a few months ago. They used to do some of the funniest, most cutting criticism of bad journalism, and this column would have been perfect fodder.
