The NFL’s crime of the century (apart from the Deflategate unpleasantness) has been wrapped up: Tom Brady has his Super Bowl jersey back.
The jerseys, which were worn by Brady in Super Bowls LI and XLIX were taken by a member of the international media after each game, according to the NFL. Martin Mauricio Ortega, a former director of the Mexican newspaper Diario La Prensa is alleged to have been the culprit.

The New England Patriots tweeted a video of team owner Robert Kraft returning the jerseys to Brady on Monday. “[The jerseys] took an international trip,” Kraft said to Brady as he handed over the shirts. “That’s awesome,” responded Brady.
Brady led the Patriots to a thrilling comeback win over the Atlanta Falcons in February’s Super Bowl LI and the jersey he wore in that game was said to have an estimated value of $500,000.
