Slightly OT - Brady points finger at Edelman for stolen jersey
Tongue in cheek. Great to see Tom has a sense of humor about it. After sticking it to Goddell, he is having a good time.

As far as I know, and I may have misheard, he is supposed to get paroled this year, so the Juice could very well be loose again rather soon.
That's based on one half-heard news item though, so don't necessarily take my word for it.

Sports Illustrated did a story about it:

Nevada has this point system for potential parolees. SI broke it down and showed he will likely get paroled, unless the parole board ignores their point system because he, you know, murdered two people in cold blood.

The upshot: he's been a model prisoner, and the breakdown of 11 parole criteria detailed in the article makes it seem very likely that he'll be paroled on October 1st. It also makes it sound as if he'll have to stay in Nevada, rather return to the home he established in Florida so that their homestead laws would prevent the Goldmans and Browns from seizing it to chip away at their $33M civil judgement against him.
He could make a good bit of change in Las Vegas, but one wonders if he'll bother, if every penny goes to the Goldmans and Browns.

If you haven't seen it, its highly recommended. Besides giving tremendous societal insights into race relations in L.A. and how the unhealthy dynamic certainly contributed to the surprising verdict, it has great courtroom scenes and really captures the trial drama and strategy in a very-true-to-experience fashion.
And the scene where OJ appears before the Nevada Parole Board and gets questioned about the grisly double homicide is PRICELESS. Makes me believe parole is unlikely.
As a matter of background, I was a newby LA lawyer during the Rodney King riots -- having fled downtown as I watched the city burn, started as a public defender during the OJ Bronco slow-speed chase, and the OJ trial was a great topic of conversation amongst my peers. Watched the verdict in presiding court with collegues, including a good friend prosecutor.
25 years later I'm still a trial lawyer, having represented many charged with grisly offenses and having tried (and won and lost) many difficult cases. What you see in this trial is how the unexpected comes up, minute details which can be exploited by talented attorneys, and how the social construct, i.e. institutional racism in LA directly led to what appears to most, including me, as a horrible miscarriage of justice.
O.J. was a monster. That double homicide was incredibly gruesome.

It had to be the sneaky lil squirrel. He's the only one that was in the locker room.Also, I can't believe there was an actual trial with drawrings from deflategate. Laughable. That Super Bowl had to feel so sweet.

in some guys attic in Boston. The story will be he got it from an Uber driver, a guy he knew and somehow, yadda yadda, it's been in his attic forgotten for 20 years.

Than we thought.

Isn't it worthless to anyone, except Tom Brady? You can't sell it, you can't show it off, you can't even wear the damn thing, unless you sleep in it alone at home.

...I think I read something to the effect of Brady saying that this wasn't the first time one of his jerseys had been swiped from the locker room? Not quite sure if it was a SB jersey or not, but I vaguely recall that it was. I'll try to find that quote.
Edit: Found this. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2017/02/06/game-worn-super-bow…
Not a SB jersey, but in 2004, someone swiped a TB jersey and it didn't show up until 2014 at an auction!

It was probably a Big Ten ref.
They steal everything else from Michigan people.
