 We can't help Patriots quarterback Tom Brady narrow the monetary gap between him and his backup, but we can help him get a catchy nickname.
Since taking over for Drew Bledsoe as the starting quarterback, Brady has been named a Pro Bowl QB, led the Patriots to the AFC East title and finished with the third-best QB rating in the AFC.
Page 2's latest case of The Berman Files sought your assistance to find a proper moniker for the toast of New England, and we've received more than 900 e-mails. Check out the best ideas below, and vote in the poll at right for the nickname you think fits Brady best.

Tom "Something Suddenly Came Up" Brady
... after the "Brady Bunch" episode in which Peter threw the ball and hit and broke Marcia's nose. The football player she had a date with used it as an excuse to get out of the date because her nose was swollen. But she came back better than ever and used it as an excuse to turn down the football player when he asked her out again after her nose was better. That and the whole replacing Bledsoe thing.
