Crime must be really really low in Texas these days. Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick has vowed to use every resource possible to locate Tom Brady’s Super Bowl jersey which went missing following last night’s epic game; including using law enforcement.
The Lt. Governor has tasked the Texas Rangers law enforcement agency with hunting down the missing jersey. Patrick released the following statement:
In Texas, we place a very high value on hospitality and football. Tom Brady’s jersey has great historical value and is already being called ‘the most valuable NFL collectible ever. It is important that history does not record that it was stolen in Texas. I’ve called Colonel Steve McCraw to ask that the Texas Rangers work with the Houston Police Department in this case. 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. Whoever took this jersey should turn it in. The Texas Rangers are on the trail.
Kudos to TB on the win and the jersey being billed as “the most valuable NFL collectible ever”. That’s huge, but I’m sure the Rangers’ efforts could be better utilized elsewhere.
