From The Inside Track, in the Boston Herald, late last week (a very trusted source!): Now, don’t say you read it here, but the big buzz on Beacon Street is that New England Patriots QB/QT Tom Brady is spending something in the neighborhood of $6.7 million for a townhouse that’s ever-so-close to his current Commonwealth [...]
