Tom Bradby (pictured left) is a respected British journalist best known as the political editor at ITV News. Tom Brady (pictured right) is the quarterback for the current NFL champion New England Patriots. Tom Bradby (pictured left) is a novelist, one of which, Shadow Dancer, was adapted into a film of the same name starring Clive Owen and Gillian Anderson. Tom Brady (pictured right) is a devastatingly handsome Super Bowl MVP who is married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen. Tom Bradby (pictured left) has an extra “B” in his last name. Tom Brady (pictured right) does not. For some folks on twitter, these subtle differences are tough to distinguish. On Sunday night, Tom Bradby’s twitter feed was inundated with thousands of misdirected mentions that were meant for Tom Brady. Some were mean. Some were fun. A lot were NSFW. All of them were from someone who either can’t spell, doesn’t pay attention to Twitter avatars, or generally isn’t very bright.

Hours after the game ended, Bradby responded.

Classic Tom Bradby.
