Pats fan takes belief in Brady’s innocence to the grave

Deflategate has taken a lot out of Tom Brady’s reputation across most of America. But in New England, Brady is as beloved as ever.
In fact, the extent to which some in New England are rallying around Brady has reached new highs — or lows, depending on your perspective.
We now have the late Patricia Shong of Auburn, Massachusetts, who passed away on Monday at the age of 72. Shong’s obituary ran in the local paper and told the story of her life, her family, her career and her favorite activities. And then it included a line about Shong’s continuing support of Brady.
“She would also like us to set the record straight for her: Brady is innocent!!” the obituary says.
That’s a popular sentiment in New England. But this is the first time we’ve heard it expressed from beyond the grave.
