Tom Brady cloned his dog. What? Yup.

Tom Brady in 10-15 years:

Side note: Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged me was on TV the other day and I watched the last half of it. I forgot how incredible those movies were. Even the third one with Beyonce wasn’t bad! If memory serves, I think me and my buddies stood in line to see the second one on opening night at the Marcus in Sheboygan. Standing in line to see an Austin Powers movie. Feels like a different world!

Anyway, on to the actual story: Tom Brady cloned his dog and is acting VERY casual about it. Like that quote in the teaser for the link makes cloning sound as routine as if he went to the dentist to get his teeth cleaned. “Yeah we loved our old dog so much that we tracked down a company who could take a bit of her blood and recreate her in a petri dish so we could essentially bring her back to life. What of it?”

Buddy, this is WEIRD. My wife and I loved our dog more than anything, but even if you presented me with this option before he went to the rainbow bridge I don’t think there’s any chance we would have done it. There are millions of dogs in shelters that need homes anyway, but something about cloning your dog has a Pet Sematary vibe to it that feels “off.”

Now I know we were (kind of) joking with the Austin Powers reference above, but given how casual he is about cloning his dog, I now think that there’s a non-zero chance that Tom Brady has explored whether or not he can clone himself. Hell, there’s a non-zero chance that he’s going to attempt to clone the entire 2007 Patriots team AND the 2007 Giants team so he can have some kind of Super Bowl grudge match in the year 2075 (I’ll take the Pats money line). Bizarre stuff.

PS: If Aaron Rodgers would have done this the entire internet would have melted down. Three Mile Island type situation.
