While everyone's busy freaking about the issues with the Patriots, NFL and Deflategate, we're managing to miss the REAL Tom Brady story going on right now.

Namely: he's about to appear in "Ted 2" where Mark Wahlberg's character, along with his fuzzy friend, will be chasing after Brady in a rather lascivious fashion.

Wahlberg -- who was spotted after the Super Bowl telling Brady he's the best quarterback EVAH  -- appeared on the Dan Patrick Show Friday and was asked about his opinion on Brady.

"[Tom's] a great American hero. A cultural icon. The greatest quarterback in the history of the game. He will go on to probably win at least two more Super Bowls, the only quarterback to ever win 6, appear in 8," Wahlberg said. "And you’ve got to see him in 'Ted 2.' We break into his house. Ted wants to have a baby but he obviously doesn’t have a male appendage, so we try to figure out what would be the best version of a baby for Ted.

"So we break into Tom Brady’s house and try to steal his sperm so Ted can have a super baby."

This is a bajillion times more entertaining than Deflategate, frankly.  

And in case you want a preview of what this scene will look like, shoutout to the Tumblr-iffic Mrs. Brinson for pointing me toward a huge selection of Ted-related items on their official site, which I'm not linking for NSFW-related reasons.
