Tom Brady's Super Bowl LI Jersey Found in Mexico
Along with his Super Bowl XLIX jersey?!
According to the NFL, the FBI has uncovered Tom Brady’s missing Super Bowl LI jersey in the possession of an unidentified, credentialed member of the international media in Mexico.
Almost immediately following the Patriots’ historic 34-28 comeback win against the Falcons back in February, footage surfaced of Brady frantically searching the locker room for his jersey. Then in a press conference the following day, he confirmed it was in fact missing, but would remain on the hunt just in case “it shows up on eBay somewhere.” The jersey has been valued at $500,000 USD by a number of reputable appraisers and collectors, as well as the Houston Police.
During the investigation, the authorities also confiscated Brady’s game-worn jersey from Super Bowl XLIX, a game in which the Patriots edged out the Seattle Seahawks. Both jerseys are currently being authenticated, while the alleged culprit may face a first-degree felony charge.
Not since the 1994 kidnapping of Snowflake and Dan Marino have we seen a sports heist of this strange caliber.
