Justin Verlander Trolls Tom Brady With New Idea for 'The Match' Sequel
By Adam Weinrib
New Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady has looked a lot more like a retiree in his first public sporting appearance since switching sides.
TB +12 has't impressed us with his golf skills, and the rest of the sporting world has certainly taken notice of his below-average game (as well as the always-entertaining match commentary of Charles Barkley).
Well, what if we simply got both of 'em out there at the same time? Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander couldn't help but ponder it.
Maybe Chuck vs Tom would be a good undercard next time #thematch

Just think it over, Tommy.
The trash talk started early in Sunday's round, with Barkley putting his money where his mouth was ahead of a Brady tee shot, a challenge that would've been even more meaningful if both men had been out on the green together.

On the flip side, Brady's confidence seems to be at an all-time low, and a battle with The Chuckster's gawky swing might actually turn things around for him.

Pause that, Tom. Let's put this alternative one-on-one into motion first.
