Here is a news article about the lawsuit:

Reuters / January 25, 2005

LOS ANGELES -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has sued General Motors for $2 million, saying the carmaker ran ads he made under an expired contract to promote its Cadillac brand.

Brady, who last weekend led his National Football League team to their third Super Bowl berth in four years, claims in his lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court that GM ran newspaper ads in Texas and Boston featuring him for a month after his contract had expired Jan. 1, 2004.

In the suit, filed on Monday, Brady said GM could not resist riding his fame as most valuable player of the 2002 and 2004 Super Bowls to plug its luxury cars after he twice refused to renew a 2003 promotional contract.

GM officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

Interesting. The MVP of this years Super Bowl will receive the Cadillac model of his choice, once again. What a coincidence if it may be Mr. Brady? Apparently, his loyalty and tastes are not to the Cadillac marque.

In response to the quote above and as an Eagles fan and a Cadillac owner, I have to say that I hope its not Mr. Brady, but instead perhaps McNabb, T.O., FredEx, Akers, etc. or any of the other athletes playing for the "Birds."      ;-)

Fly Eagles fly, on the road to victory...
Fight, Eagles Fight...
Score a touchdown 1,2,3...
Hit em low, hit em high, and watch our Eagles Fly...
Fly, Eagles fly, on the road to victory!
E-A-G-L-E-S-EAGLES !!!

I heard on the News last night that Tom Brady donated the cadillac he got last year to a high School and they sold raffle tickets for it and raised about $365,000.
