[Ads-l] Free Brady Friday

[Joel Berson]

Actually, I took it as even less significant -- a free [Brady Friday].  As I heard it described, if you are named Tom or Brady, you get free admission.  I don't know (not having checked) whether there will be any celebration for their eponym.  Perhaps during the seventh inning stretch, there will be played a Patriotic song.

I can imagine that there will be more than a few, of whatever gender classification, of those in attendance at the Pawsox game on Friday (barring a rainout; looks iffy at the moment) who could imagine nothing better than to go home with a free Brady.  But I fear they will be disappointed to learn it's just a [Free(v.) Brady] Friday, not a Free(n.)-Brady Friday.
