Tom Brady Gets Trolled For Appearance At Statue Ceremony
Tom Brady Gets Trolled For Appearance At Statue Ceremony originally appeared on The Spun. The New England Patriots honored Tom Brady before their preseason opener against the Washington Commanders on Friday night. A 12-foot bronze statue of Brady was unveiled outside Gillette Stadium. The statue features Brady wearing his No. 12 jersey and his Patriots helmet in his left hand. The stand for this impressive statue lists all six Super Bowl titles that he won in New England. "This is quite overwhelming to me," Brady said. "I feel extremely honored, deeply grateful and, if I'm being honest, kind of old. ... I never dreamed I'd be standing here 2½ decades later, made of bronze and frozen in time. It actually feels pretty appropriate given my 40-yard dash time." A few moments later, Brady threw a jab at the New York Jets. "This statue isn't just for Pats fans. It will also give all the Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium every year." Patriots fans were certainly glad to see Brady back in Foxborough. The rest of the NFL world, however, was too busy trolling his appearance. Some people thought Brady looked like Hollywood star Walton Goggins' character in "The Righteous Gemstones." Here's the comparison that's going viral: While some fans mocked Brady's appearance, others were complaining about the design for his statue. "He should be holding a Lombardi," one fan wrote on X. "Disappointment," another fan said. "No logo, can't even see the 12, and most importantly, no Lombardi???" Personally, we think the statue looks just fine. In fact, the only people who should be insulted this weekend are Jets fans.

The firm reviewed the $25b CyberArk acquisition and ultimately views it positively despite intial negative investor reaction. It believes the deal has long-term strategic benefits that outweigh short-term dilution and market volatility. 'Is the CyberArk deal accretive? Last week Palo Alto announced their intention to acquired CyberArk in a cash + equity deal worth ~$25B at the then-PANW stock price (~$5B premium) — this would be an effective FCF/share dilution of ~6% + $2B cash and any restructuring costs. Since then, investors reacted negatively and PANW's market captalization lost the equivalent to CyberArk's predeal value (~$20B). After exploring the deal potential, we come away more constructive. We find these worries half-baked. Channel checks continue to confirm platformization resonates.' The firm further noted how CyberArk is a strong player and is considered an AI winner. The current gap in their portfolio will be closed through this deal. 'Instead, we believe the strategy to enter Identity closes the remaining gap in their portfolio. It also offers a rare toehold in an AI-winner cyber category. The deal is large because CyberArk covers all the key parts to enter, is a strong player, and is considered an AI winner. Assuming Palo Alto stays on strategy, there aren't other large portfolio gaps (thus large targets) to acquire.' Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW) is a leader in AI-powered cybersecurity.
