1st Ammendment NoMas Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 I just got mine in the mail. Awesome stuff. I kicked coronavirus ass, threw a 30 yd rope to a 12 year old kid, slam dunked a basketball, ran a marathon and then threw my boss through the window for being a Patriots fan. It was all going good until then. The cops came, I got explosive diarrhea, vomited up a Super Bowl ring that I stole and hopped into a white Bronco. Typing as I drive.... 5

I mean, why would Tom Freaking Brady be pimping health supplements? He's already richer than God and certainly doesn't need the money or publicity. The doofus just believes that this crap works. It's not like we don't have other figures in high places believing in magic elixirs with no proof of efficacy. 2
