There was much back and forth between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks during this past Sunday’s Super Bowl XLIX, but the star play of the game easily was awarded to Malcolm Butler’s interception of Russell Wilson, turning the tide for the Patriots with only thirty seconds left in the game.
But Butler wasn’t the game’s MVP, instead, the honors were awarded to all-star-living-legend-male-model-super-dad-quarterback Tom Brady, who received a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado as part of the award. Brady recognizes it wasn’t all about him, though, and is working on handing the Colorado to Butler instead.
During an interview with a local Boston radio program, Brady was outspoken on Butler’s performance, and when asked if he would consider giving the truck to the rookie player he immediately replied, “I would love to give him the truck, I would love to do that. I’m going to figure out how to make that work.”
The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado lists for $35,000, a drop in the bucket compared to Brady’s $150 million salary and endorsements he received in 2014. Although, Butler’s isn’t sitting too shabby himself either, making a reported $420,000 as the league sets as its minimum salary.
Regardless, as the old saying goes, it’s the thought that counts.

He should give it to Pete Caroll. Lol!
There we go. The truck goes to the less fortunate after all, just as the reality based readers here predicted.
The question remains how Butler survives on $420,000 a year. How will he pay for the gas in this truck?
What ever happened to your more deserving ‘single mother of two’, or do you only care about the poorest NFL players?
Hypocrite.
ANY NFL could own, maintain, and opprate a Z71 Colorado. Your single mother of two, even if it was given to her by GM or by charity, would struggle to pay for it.
You were never in reality.
Obviously (to some) my remark about an NFL player not being able to pay the gas was tongue in cheek. But I meant what I said when I mentioned there are many people who would be more deserving of such a gift than spoiled professional athletes. The only change that happened is it went from one underserving person to another, while people here predicted the truck would go on an auction block and / or donated to a good cause.
And yes, there are real people whose suffering would be lessened with a reliable vehicle. Butler ain’t suffering.
The GM leg humpers who frequent these pages would excuse just about any action by the company. As far as being out of touch with reality, the NFL and GM are neck and neck.
