Just in case you haven’t turned on ESPN yet this morning, and I would highly advise that you don’t, you might not know that they are celebrating the 40th birthday of one Tom Brady today. Like, REALLY celebrating it.
And while, like I said, I would hesitate to tune in to see that on TV, what the New England Patriots are doing today is actually both pretty funny as well as clever. Almost as clever as what Rob Gronkowski said he got Tom Brady for his birthday…
Asked by reporters what he got Tom Brady for his 40th birthday, Rob Gronkowski said, "I get him touchdowns."

You see, the Patriots thought it would be appropriate, and a little comical, to bring in some actual goats to celebrate Touchdown Tommy’s 40th. Guess what? They were right, because whether you love or hate the Patriots nobody can possibly hate a bunch of cute little goats.
Check out some of the highlights of the goats at training camp so far…
