Tom Brady shares 'suspect board' in the case of his missing jersey

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —

Tom Brady is taking off his football helmet and donning his detective hat, getting involved in the case of the missing Super Bowl jersey.

He's even assigned it a case number: 12 -- of course.

Brady, the MVP of the first comeback victory in Super Bowl history, said he left the jersey in a bag in his locker and changed into a champions t-shirt for the post-game ceremony. When he returned, the jersey was missing.

The suspects on Brady's tongue-in-cheek suspect board include his teammate Julian Edelman, halftime show performer Lady Gaga, South Park's Crab People, and the creepy courtroom drawing of himself from the Deflategate hearing.
That's hilarious. And of course Edelman is in there.

I mean, really....What is different about the jersey that you can't find in an NFL shop? I guess the holder of the jersey could see if they can get it verified that his DNA is on it...."Mr Brady, spit in this cup and don't ask why...lol

Brady probably gave it to the ball boy, for his halftime adjustments.

Report: Tom Brady’s Super Bowl jersey has been found
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 20, 2017

The case of the missing Super Bowl jersey may have been cracked.

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports that the FBI and NFL Security believe they have located Tom Brady’s stolen Super Bowl LI jersey and it will be returned. Glazer reports that the FBI got involved because the jersey was on foreign soil.

There’s no word on whether anyone has been arrested in the investigation, which Houston police said they considered a felony given the value of the jersey, which could have gone for $500,000 at a sports memorabilia auction.

Tom Brady’s last two Super Bowl jerseys both recovered
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 20, 2017

It wasn’t only Tom Brady’s Super Bowl LI jersey that was stolen and is now recovered.

According to Tom Curran of CSNNE.com, it was actually Brady’s last two Super Bowl jerseys that were stolen, and both of them have now been recovered from the same source.

The report says Brady’s Super Bowl XLIX jersey from two years ago was taken by the same person who took the Super Bowl LI jersey. Both were stolen outside the United States and both were recovered in an FBI investigation.

It’s unclear how one person was able to steal two Super Bowl jerseys and sell them both overseas, and it’s also unclear why we’re just now learning that the two-year-old Super Bowl XLIX jersey had also been stolen. The missing Super Bowl LI jersey was reported within hours after the game ended and has been the subject of much discussion in the seven weeks since.

Brady will apparently get both of his jerseys back soon.

The stolen Tom Brady Super Bowl jerseys were found on foreign soil. That soil apparently resides south of the border.

Via FOX 26, Houston police chief Art Acevedo said that the suspect is in Mexico.

“The HPD criminal intelligence division detectives identified a suspect in Mexico,” Acevedo said. ” I’m proud to say as a result of their hard work, and with the assistance of the FBI and Mexican authorities, we believe we’ve recovered the jersey. Further authentication is in process [of being completed].”

Acevedo added that the suspect had “legitimate access to the Super Bowl.”

In the aftermath of the Super Bowl, Yahoo! Sports reported that the authorities had determined that the jersey had been stolen before the media entered the locker room. Apparently, that wasn’t the case.

"We believe that Tom Brady was generally aware of both the theft of his jersey and the existence of Mexico and have therefore suspended him for the first 6 games of next season and docked New England their 1st round pick in 2018"

Thank goodness law enforcement resources were spent on retrieving 2 dirty stinking jerseys for Brady while not giving a shit about potential evidence of fixing Super Bowls being destroyed.

I'm looking forward to knowing who stole them at least. It has to be someone in the Patriot's organization I'd think since they recovered both stolen jerseys from two different super bowls of the Patriots. If not a Patriots employee it'd have to be a big time media member or NFL employee. Has to be someone connected enough to be able to attend two super bowls years apart and be able to pull off the same crime both times. That list can't be too big.

International press with credentials apparently. Those NFL Mexico journalists getting a cut from the cartel? Joking... I hope.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/v...-with-tom-bradys-jersey-leaked-193147682.html

A former executive of a newspaper company brazenly walked into the New England Patriots locker room after Super Bowl LI, allegedly took quarterback Tom Brady’s jersey and walked out without anyone stopping him.

The Associated Press reported that the newspaper Diario La Prensa said one of its former executives was involved in the case of Brady’s missing Super Bowl jerseys.The FBI saidit recovered Brady’s Super Bowl LI jersey, and also his missing Super Bowl XLIX jersey, and the NFL said the suspect was a “credentialed member of the international media.”NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport identifiedthe suspect as Mauricio Ortega.

Fox Sports 1’s Jay Glazer obtained security footage from just after Super Bowl LI, when a man entered the Patriots locker room with players and left with a bag under his arm. Glazer said authorities used that video in the case.


The heist seemed surreal. It’s hard to imagine someone stealing Brady’s jersey – which was later valued at $500,000 – and walking out without anyone knowing it. The case got even weirder. Not only did the suspect have Brady’s XLIX jersey as well,Glazer reportedthat authorities were investigating if the suspect had Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller’s helmet from Super Bowl 50.

If nothing else, expect the NFL to look into its postgame security procedures after this dilemma.

This guy is unbelievable.... also stole Kurt Warner's super bowl jersey and Von Miller's super bowl helmet. Good to know security around locker rooms are so well staffed for the last 12 years.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/a...raph-his-own-super-bowl-jersey-225916403.html

One day, the various adventures of Mauricio Ortega will become the greatest sports documentary ever.

We already knew,from video surveillance footage, that credentialed reporter Ortega walked into the New England Patriots locker room after Super Bowl LI like he belonged (he didn’t, the media wasn’t allowed in yet), allegedly took Tom Brady’s jersey despite the presence of Patriots players and team and league officials, then walked out. When Brady’s jersey was recovered, so too was a helmet that apparently was worn by Denver Von Miller in Super Bowl 50 and Brady’s Super Bowl XLIX jersey.

On Tuesday eveningthe Associated Press published a long story on Ortega, and unveiled perhaps the most jaw-dropping snippet of this insane ordeal: Ortega, at this year’s Super Bowl, asked a surprised Kurt Warnerto sign his own game-worn Super Bowl jersey. And then – you didn’t believe it could get better than that last part, did you? – he planned to sell Warner’s autographed Super Bowl jersey back to him.

And you thought allegedly stealing Brady’s jersey out of the Patriots locker room took some chutzpah.

“He showed me Warner’s jersey with his signature and told me a story about how Warner was surprised that he was in possession of the item,” Arturo Palafox, sports editor for the newspaper 24 Horas, told the AP. “He said he planned to gather interest from Warner to sell him the jersey for $8,000.”

The detail that Ortega had Warner sign a jersey during Super Bowl week was reported before, but that didn’t include that it was one of Warner’s Super Bowl jerseys. Two reporters who Ortega spoke with both told the AP that Ortega had one of Warner’s Super Bowl jerseys in his bag. The AP story said Ortega has been credentialed for the Super Bowl going back to at least 2005. The AP didn’t say which of Warner’s Super Bowl jerseys Ortega had signed, or how Ortega obtained it. Warner played in three Super Bowls, at the end of the 1999 and 2001 seasons with the St. Louis Rams and at the end of the 2008 season with the Arizona Cardinals.

The AP story is rich on details, including that Ortega brought multiple NFL memorabilia items to get signed (a no-no for the media) and that he had no intention of actually working Super Bowl week from Houston (also frowned upon, generally). Ortega was the director of the Mexican newspaper La Prensa, which posted at least six bylines from Ortega during Super Bowl week. However, the AP story said he “ordered staffers back in Mexico City to write the articles and use his byline.”

So to recap: There was a credentialed person who went to Super Bowl for years, took selfies in the locker room with key players (including Brady in 2005), felt emboldened enough to stroll into the Patriots locker room when he wasn’t allowed, allegedly stole items from Brady and perhaps Miller and Brady a second time, and reportedly asked Warner to sign a Super Bowl jersey that Warner once wore in hopes of selling it later to the Hall-of-Fame quarterback for $8,000. And who knows what else might have gone on that we haven’t heard about yet.

Some wise director is going to have fun telling this story when it’s all done.
