I have been selected to play in the Shriners All Star Football game to be played at Bentley University. The Shriners hospital has been helping burn victims for years. They save young kids lives who have suffered horrendous atrocities.
When I first met with the Shriners, I met a young burn victim from Sri Lanka. She had burn scars all over her face and body. She was the same age as my sister. This really hit me at home as I could not imagine the pain and suffering this little girl had to go through. I could not imagine something like this happening to my sister. All I wanted to do was help.
Despite her injuries, however, she was the sweetest little girl and even had one of the most positive attitudes I have ever seen. Her positive attitude and outlook on life was contagious. You could not help but smile when around her. I was very happy to realize that I had the power to not only help this little girl but also other little girls like her. You can too. Just see Colin Boutin and sign his sheet and give him two dollars. Your donation will not only be accepted but welcomed.
Please see Colin in person or make a check made out to Shriners Hospital mail to

Press Conference Apology
(CNN) — Good morning. And thank you for joining me.
Many of you in the room are my friends. Many of you in this room know me. Many of you have cheered for me, or worked with me, or supported me, and now, every one of you has good reason to be critical of me.
I want to say to each of you, simply, and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in.
I know people want to find out how I could be so selfish and so foolish. People want to know how I could have done these things to my wife, Elin, and to my children. And while I have always tried to be a private person, there are some things I want to say.
Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. As she pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words. It will come from my behavior over time. We have a lot to discuss. However, what we say to each other will remain between the two of us.
I am also aware of the pain my behavior has caused to those of you in this room. I have let you down. I have let down my fans. For many of you, especially my friends, my behavior has been a personal disappointment. To those of you who work for me, I have let you down, personally and professionally. My behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners.
To everyone involved in my foundation, including my staff, board of directors, sponsors, and most importantly, the young students we reach, our work is more important than ever. Thirteen years ago, my dad and I envisioned helping young people achieve their dreams through education. This work remains unchanged and will continue to grow. From the Learning Center students in Southern California, to the Earl Woods Scholars in Washington, D.C., millions of kids have changed their lives, and I am dedicated to making sure that continues.
But, still, I know I have severely disappointed all of you. I have made you question who I am and how I have done the things I did. I am embarrassed that I have put you in this position. For all that I have done, I am so sorry. I have a lot to atone for.
But there is one issue I really want to discuss. Some people have speculated that Elin somehow hurt or attacked me on Thanksgiving night. It angers me that people would fabricate a story like that. She never hit me that night or any other night. There has never been an episode of domestic violence in our marriage. Ever.
Elin has shown enormous grace and poise throughout this ordeal. Elin deserves praise, not blame. The issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behavior. I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated. What I did is not acceptable. And I am the only person to blame. I stopped living by the core values that I was taught to believe in.
I knew my actions were wrong. But I convinced myself that normal rules didn’t apply. I never thought about who I was hurting. Instead, I thought only about myself. I ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple should live by. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to. I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn’t have far — didn’t have to go far to find them.
I was wrong. I was foolish. I don’t get to play by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me. I brought this shame on myself. I hurt my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife’s family, my friends, my foundation, and kids all around the world who admired me.
I’ve had a lot of time to think about what I have done. My failures have made me look at myself in a way I never wanted to before. It is now up to me to make amends. And that starts by never repeating the mistakes I have made. It is up to me to start living a life of integrity.
I once heard — and I believe it is true — it’s not what you achieve in life that matters, it is what you overcome. Achievements on the golf course are only part of setting an example. Character and decency are what really count. Parents used to point to me as a role model for their kids. I owe all of those families a special apology. I want to say to them that I am truly sorry.
It is hard to admit that I need help. But I do. For 45 days, from the end of December to early February, I was in inpatient therapy, receiving guidance for the issues I’m facing. I have a long way to go. But I’ve taken my first steps in the right direction.
As I proceed, I understand people have questions. I understand the press wants me to — to ask me for the details of the times I was unfaithful. I understand people want to know whether Elin and I will remain together. Please know that as far as I’m concerned, every one of these questions and answers is a matter between Elin and me. These are issues between a husband and a wife.
Some people have made up things that never happened. They said I used performance-enhancing drugs. This is completely and utterly false.
Some have written things about my family. Despite the damage I have done, I still believe it is right to shield my family from the public spotlight. They did not do these things. I did. I have always tried to maintain a private space for my wife and children. They have been kept separate from my sponsors, my commercial endorsements, when my children were born, we only released photographs so they … so that the paparazzi could not chase them.
However, my behavior doesn’t make it right for the media to follow my 2½-year-old daughter to school and report the school’s location. They staked out my wife and pursued my mom. Whatever my wrongdoings, for the sake of my family, please leave my wife and kids alone.
I recognize I have brought this on myself. And I know above all I am the one who needs to change. I owe it to my family to become a better person. I owe it to those closest to me to become a better man. That is where my focus will be. I have a lot of work to do. And I intend to dedicate myself to doing it.
Part of following this path for me is Buddhism, which my mother taught me at a young age. People probably don’t realize it, but I was raised a Buddhist, and I actively practiced my faith from childhood until I drifted away from it in recent years. Buddhism teaches that a craving for things outside ourselves causes an unhappy and pointless search for security. It teaches me to stop following every impulse and to learn restraint. Obviously, I lost track of what I was taught.
As I move forward, I will continue to receive help because I have learned that is how people really do change. Starting tomorrow, I will leave for more treatment and more therapy.
I would like to thank my friends at Accenture and the players in the field this week for understanding why I am making this — these remarks today. In therapy, I have learned that looking at — the importance of looking at my spiritual life and keeping in balance with my professional life. I need to regain my balance and be centered so I can save the things that are most important to me: my marriage and my children.
That also means relying on others for help. I have learned to seek support from my peers in therapy, and I hope someday to return that support to others who are seeking help.
I do plan to return to golf one day. I just don’t know when that day will be. I don’t rule out that it will be this year. When I do return, I need to make my behavior more respectful of the game.
In recent weeks, I have received many thousands of e-mails, letters and phone calls from people expressing good wishes. To everyone who has reached out to me and my family, thank you. Your encouragement means the world to Elin and me. I want to thank the PGA Tour, Commissioner [Tim] Finchem and the players for their patience and understanding while I work on my private life. I look forward to seeing my fellow players on the course.
Finally, there are many people in this room and there are many people at home who believed in me. Today, I want to ask for your help. I ask you to find room in your hearts to one day believe in me again. Thank you.
Nike Commercial after Dad’s death
Nike is like CitiBank – too big to fail. They play the “Daddy death card.”
On his reaction to the Ted Wells report: “I don’t have really any reaction. Our owner commented on it yesterday and it’s only been 30 hours so I haven’t had much time to digest it fully. But when I do, I’ll be sure to let you know how I feel about it. And everybody else.”
On when he plans to address the Ted Wells report publically: “Hopefully soon. Hopefully soon. There is still a process that is going forth right now and I’m involved in that process. Whenever it happens, it happens. I’ll certainly want to be very comfortable in how I feel about the statements that I make.”
On how he is handling this controversy: “I’ve dealt with a lot of things in the past; I dealt with this three months ago before the Super Bowl. I’ve dealt with a lot of adversity over the course of my career, my life and I’m very fortunate to have so many people that love me and support me. Life so much is about the ups and downs, and certainly I accept my role and responsibility as a public figure. I think a lot of it you take the good with the bad and dealing with different adversities in life, you just try to do the best you can do. I was raised by a great mom and dad who support me and I have a lot of great teammates that support me. We’ll get through it.”
On what his family and teammates are telling him: “They’re a little biased aren’t they? But they love me unconditionally and I love them unconditionally. Like I said, we’ll deal with this at a date. Like you said earlier, this wasn’t what this night was supposed to be about. I was here to come and have some fun.”
On if this controversy has detracted from his joy of winning the Super Bowl: “Absolutely not.”
On why it has not detracted from his joy of winning the Super Bowl: “Because we earned and achieved everything that we got this year as a team. I am very proud of that and our fans should be too.”
On if the Super Bowl XLIX win is tainted: “What do you guys think? Neither do I … I said no, absolutely not.”
On if he cares about what other people think about him: “I think my nature and my character as one — I think as a human you care what people think. I certainly care what the people that are close to me think and what they care about. I think also as a public figure, you learn that not everyone is going to like you either. Good, bad, indifferent, there are a lot of people that don’t like Tom Brady, and I’m OK with that. Like I said, I have teammates that I love and support that love and support me. I have fans, I have family. I’m very blessed.”
Attract Twitter Followers: Twitter has been our primary means of making connections. Our goal is the be the #1 High School Sports Twitter account in the WORLD! If we can get the professional women’s lacrosse teams and players to follow us, that would be a great accomplishment! (We hope to someday have more followers than these incredible accounts.) We have some motivated student-athletes in our class. We want to learn about coaching careers, playing careers, and job opportunities. Perhaps a student could work or intern with the Boston Storm!
To Learn About the Players and League: We have some motivated student-athletes in our class. We want to learn about coaching careers, playing careers, and job opportunities. Perhaps a student could work or intern with the Boston Storm!
To Get FREE Promotional Gear! With our student interview project, we were able to get some great t-shirts, sweatshirts, bumper stickers, car plates, sunglasses, and so much more. It would be great to finish the years with some great promotional gear from the inaugural season of the United Women’s Lacrosse League.

Sports makes the world a little smaller. We share so many similar experiences that span generations. Many Americans have played youth baseball. Here is an opening day event that was made special by the appearance of a baseball legend, Lou Merloni.
Opening Day for Youth Baseball: On the Sunday April 25th, 2016 a South Shore youth baseball league had opening day ceremonies. The ceremonies included:
A parade of the players and coaches ending in teams lined up one the edge of the infield.
A moment of silence for Kevin Greer, a high school and youth coach who gave so much to many South Shore communities.
The Star-Spangled Banner performed by an amazing young lady. The Star-Spangled Banner was also signed.
Lou Merloni played baseball at Framingham South High School, Providence College, and professional baseball for 15 years – 9 in the major leagues and 6 with the Boston Red Sox.
As a parent, it was great to listen to the advice he shared with audience. His advice was great!
Some of the points I took away from the speech:
Opening Day is exciting because of the “unknown.” As a pro, opening day contained a great deal of uncertainty of what the season would hold. Who would be a Cy Young pitcher? MVP? or World Series Champion? (Also who would get called up to “the Show.”)
Baseball is hard! Players will strike out, walk batters, and make errors. There are many opportunities for personal failure in games. It can be frustrating.
BE A GOOD TEAMMATE! Not every player can hit the ball (well), throw the ball (well), catch (well), or pitch (well). Your teammates will fail often, support them. Offer words of encouragement “You will get a hit next time!” “Don’t worry about that you will make the next play!” etc.) Pick your teammate up! This is so important.
Come back tomorrow! What tremendous advice for the LIFE! In baseball you will go “0 for the game,” you will get the hook as a pitcher, and you may get taken out. Keep at it. Come back the next day and work harder. Take a few more swings, throw a few more balls, and catch a few more flies.
These were great words of wisdom for 8 – 13 year old baseball players. The younger ones may not have absorbed the message, but many of the 10 – 12 year olds learned a little about baseball from one of the best players from Massachusetts (and the the world – any player who plays 15 seasons of professional baseball is one of the best players in the world.)
This past week was vacation and there were many great sporting events. Students will reflect and write about domestic and international experiences with sports!
