NFL High Five Fails Won’t Go Away

It was probably on screen for less time than Janet Jackson's boob during the 2004 Super Bowl.

The 2004 incident brought us the term "wardrobe malfunction" and was the catalyst that actually started YouTube. While not quite as socially seismic, the shot of Marky-Mark Wahlberg leaving Pats owner Robert Kraft hanging following a Patriots touchdown last Sunday is living on.

I may be vilified for saying it, but I've long thought that, for all his talent on the field, our number 12 lacks the charismatic personality of other NFL pros. How many TV commercial deals does Manning (either one) have? When we do see TB out of context, it's usually a pretty subdued performance. Sometimes, he just has to stand there and look good. Credit where credit is due...he does the just stand there thing better than most of the rest of us.

All of that being said, I'm forced to conclude that while Tom runs all the plays on the field, it's highly unlikely that he runs his own Facebook page. The social media landscape has spawned an underground industry of individuals who run Twitter and Facebook pages for celebrities of various stature. They are usually employed by the individual celeb's management agency and they are paid well to keep a low profile. Face it, if you stumbled upon the person with the password to Tom Cruise's Facebook page wouldn't you try to get them drunk and have a little fun?

Last week, Tom Brady's Facebook page posted his college resume for a "Throwback Thursday" post. Clever. Now, Tom's page has a photo with Tom Photo shopped into a screen grab of the Wahlberg faux pas. Granted, it took a couple of days for it to show up, but does anyone believe Tom spent Monday in front of a computer digitally installing himself in the Owner's Box?

"Gisele, can you walk the dog please? I'm Photo-shoppin' here!"

There's been no mention of the incident on Marky-Mark's official Facebook page. If you happen to have some mad digital skills, I'd love to see who else, or what else could be inserted into the Kraft high-five photo.
