Brady no hero on or off the field

Lyndhurst, N.J.: Manish Mehta asked: “Why do people hate Patriots QB Tom Brady so much?” (Feb. 4) calling Tom “the embodiment of the American dream. He’s respectful, gracious, humble and kind.” What parallel universe is he living in? The man is a cheat, not just with Deflategate and the videotaping shenanigans, but with his pregnant girlfriend, the mother of his eldest son, whom he left to be with Giselle.

He’s a man with no moral compass. Yes, he may be a hard-working, dedicated athlete who’s accomplished a lot. But he’s still a cheat and a creepy father who criticizes his son for a peck on the lips and makes him do it again! And finally, the sexist, inappropriate comment about giving props to Brady for marrying a Brazilian supermodel, because “don’t we all want to marry a supermodel,” is disgusting. Men like Mehta are the reason why there’s a #MeToo movement. That salacious comment just perpetuates the narrative that women are merely objects; things to be judged by the sum total of their parts. Mehta is as vile and nasty as the man he’s praising.

My suggestion to Mehta is to get a job with a Boston newspaper so he can write his love letters to Tom every day, all day. The narrative about the “almighty Tom” has no place in a New York newspaper. Sell the fairy tale elsewhere. Gina Finocchio

We are not all perfect

South Amboy, N.J.: Manish Mehta questions why people hate Tom Brady. They don’t necessarily hate him, they’re envious of him. Even women who hate the Patriots find Brady to be attractive, and that drives men crazy. Mehta says all men should want to marry Brazilian supermodels — a very shallow attitude — but many men who couldn’t envy the man who did. Men of his age don’t admire his stamina, they resent it because it makes them look bad. Sad commentary on us, but we can take semi-perfection sometimes, but perfection in others very often brings out the worst in us. When Brady and the Patriots lose, the imperfect rejoice!

Pats out, Don next?

Penticton, British Columbia: Donald Trump’s favored Patriots’ Super Bowl loss to the Philly Eagles may be a forecast of Trump’s anxiously awaited exit into another highly successful misadventure. Beyond all measure, the world thanks you, Philly Eagles and Nick Foles!

Joe Schwarz

Thanks all around

Kresgeville, Pa.: Re “Eagles are the last team Trump wants to welcome to White House”: Carron J. Phillips’ Feb. 5 column was so touching. It said what a lot of people feel. My kids were telling me about the song, and about the rapper Meek Mill. That is so sad. I pray that Mill gets out of this mess and that the system stops trying to make an example to teach others. To Chris Long: you will never know how many people admire the goodness in your heart. To all those Eagle players: Though you choose not to be anyone’s example, remember, a lot of kids out there with nothing have their eyes are on you. And to the editor of this column: I am now going to buy the paper to cut your article out and show it to my kids. Why? Because this is worth their remembering. Thank you kindly! God bless you all.

Thumbs down

Secaucus: The Justin Timberlake halftime show reminded me of a roadside Southern Baptist handcovered revival service.

Downhill after the opening

Ridgewood, N.J.: Timberlake’s show was not half as good as Pink’s singing of the national anthem. It was the difference between crass and class.

No class winners

Floral Park, L.I.: If I were Philadelphia’s mayor, I would not allow a victory parade for the Eagles to be held in the city. If a parade is held, will the low-class citizens of Philadelphia burn the city down? Very unfortunate how they celebrated their team’s victory on Super Bowl Sunday night.

Trump fans blind to the truth

Manchester, N.J.: In the Feb. 3 edition of the Daily News’ Voice of the People, the first six letters extolled the virtues of this country’s 45th President while denigrating the conduct of the Democrats during the SOTU speech, specifically. Voicers Barry Goldblatt, Michael Velsmid, Joseph Valente, Gerald Manley, Lydia DiBello and Carol Culkin pretty much called the Democrats unpatriotic and vile for their reaction to the pompous lies spouted that night by 45. Apparently, those writers felt that the office of the President was disrespected. No, the “not nearly a President” was shown the distrust and disregard he deserves for bringing shame, every day, on the presidency. These letters, and the recent Republican posturing regarding the Nunes “memo,” clearly evidence the ignorance and bigotry of those in this country who refuse to honor the truth.

Defense vs. prison

Staten Island: I’d like to remind Voicer Gary Savage that the Berlin Wall was built to keep people in while the southern border wall is being built to keep people out. If you can’t tell the difference between the two, I suggest you read some history.

Race and partisanship

Monsey, N.Y.: Whether or not President Trump is directly responsible for the lowest unemployment rate among AfricanAmericans can be debated by economists and sociologists. That few or no members of the Democrat Party stood or applauded for this trend should come as no surprise. Low African-American unemployment hurts the Democrats. Democrats are content with African Americans being poor and unemployed as they then are beholden to vote for the Democratic Party to preserve the welfare programs they rely on.

Think mink

Whitestone: One day, several years ago, I entered my favorite salon for a haircut. About six other customers were also present on that day. All of a sudden, we all hear a piercing scream from a woman. Her mink coat hanging in the salon’s closet was missing! Obviously, it was stolen. The lesson here is: If you must have clothing or any other articles of great value with you, keep them near you at all times, presumably on an empty seat close by. Better to be safe than sorry. Leonore Brooks

White House of ill repute

Fairfield, Conn.: To Voicer Richard Reif, who said that the FBI and CIA were so inept that the couldn’t find a whore in a whorehouse: May I suggest, sir, that if you are looking for such, just find the President.

Your vote doesn’t count

Seaford, L.I.: Gerrymandering, the Electoral College, the Supreme Court recognizing corporations as people and foreign interference are all part of the “one person/one vote” propaganda. There is an awful lot of work to be done before anyone in this country will feel safe in knowing their vote hasn’t been tampered with in any way, because we now know it is. Bob Bascelli

Crying wolf

Little Ferry, N.J.: I subscribe to the Daily News and enjoy it immensely. Now, I am not a supporter of President Trump per se but I still have hope that he may make America great again. In the interim I have assured the fans of Hillary Clinton that the next seven years are going to fly by. Nothing bad is going to happen to Hillary, ever. It’s a non-event. Let this sleeping dog lie. The same is true for Obama. Neither one of them are ever going to be arrested. If The News needs to chastise Trump every day, so be it, but don’t waste your reporters’ time beating a Democratic dead horse!

GETTY Manhattan: Trump tweeted, “Their was no Collusion.” Gertrude Stein is correct: “There is no there there.”

Cold answer to heat problem

Rockaway Park: I have a suggestion on how to solve the (lack of) heat problem for thousands of New York City Housing Authority tenants: Shut the mayor’s heat down at Gracie Mansion and his Park Slope digs and don’t turn it back on until every one of these poor unfortunates get the necessary repairs.
