But if Brady is having hair restoration, Konior said it's highly unlikely he's doing it with five weeks left in the regular season and the playoffs looming.
Smells like sneaky marketing to me.

Rogers, which already has epublishing, cable, radio and wireless interests and owns the Blue Jays baseball club, could merge Leafs and Raptors TV, add the Toronto FC games and effectively start the most powerful regional sports network in the country. It would be among the biggest in North America.
I am both excited and terrified of this happening.
As a Rogers cable subscriber, I would have easy access to this sports network. At the same time, I'm betting that Rogers doesn't make it a FREE channel on their network, so I'd be losing access to a lot of free sports broadcasts.

Rogers will find a way to make this cost too much and deliver too little. They are very, very good at that.

If Rogers can find away to take the Leafs and Raptors to an in-house channel and far away from my regular sports programming I am all for it. Less Leafs on HNIC? I'm good with that.

Same here.
But Rogers would be competing with the Leafs' current exclusive TV network - TSN.

Great heads of hair are perceived as being stronger people, better-looking people."
So I guess that would explain all the men who shave their heads?
Maybe Tom was shopping for his dad. His hair looks fine to me.
