First it was Deflategate and now Tom Brady is enmeshed in Jerseygate — and a Texas official has the state’s storied Rangers hot on the trail.
The football jersey Tom Brady wore while leading his New England Patriots to a historic Super Bowl win was still missing on Monday — and perhaps stolen right out of his locker, the quarterback said.
Brady told reporters he last saw his game-used threads in the New England dressing room Sunday night in Houston, following the Patriots’ stunning 34-28 overtime win.
“The jersey, I put it in my bag and I came out and it wasn’t there anymore,” Brady told reporters on Monday at a press conference for the Super Bowl LI MVP.
“It’s unfortunate because that’s a nice piece of memorabilia. If it ends up on eBay, let me know.”
The theft grabbed attention of Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who on Monday called on the Texas Rangers to help Houston police investigate.
“In Texas we place a very high value on hospitality and football,” Patrick said in a statement.
“Tom Brady’s jersey has great historical value and is already being called ‘the most valuable NFL collectable ever.’ It will likely go into the Hall of Fame one day. It is important that history does not record that it was stolen in Texas.”
He urged the perp to give back Brady’s threads.
“I’m a Texans and Cowboys fan first, but the unquestionable success of the Super Bowl in Houston last night was a big win for our entire state, and I don’t want anything to mar that victory,” Patrick added. “Whoever took this jersey should turn it in. The Texas Rangers are on the trail.”

That’s probably why the person is showing only the back. To show the front would give it away immediately. People are so easily gulled...................

I don’t know about it being in the washer. He said he had put it in his bag; does an equipment manager go into players’ personal bags and remove items? (I’m geninely asking, as I’m a girl and never played football.)
“Are there no security cameras in there?.....”

I’m not so sure the players would want to be videotaped while they are in various states of undress, including being buck naked.
So I’m guessing there are no security cameras in the locker area.
There surely are some outside showing the exits, one would think..............
I don't either........but I'm betting it ain't lost or stolen.
(I'm trying to get this rumor started, please pass it on.)
That’s like stealing the Mona Lisa. What can you do with it?
Well, I heard a media report about a staff member taking the shirt and locking it with the team’s gear.
Who knows .. so many stories are not true .. Disgusting.
