I love a photo op as much as the next, but you gotta know when the right time is or at least be smart about it. Two Texans security guards were fired for taking a picture with Tom Brady. Yes, very few will ever have that opportunity, but was it worth losing your job??? I shouldn’t feel bad because the two fellas did it to themselves — but it was Tom Brady. Lol, SMH.
Details after the jump…
Joel Williams, who was working security at Reliant Stadium, said he took his part-time job very seriously.
“When you are at your post and you’re doing your job, you’re not supposed to take pictures with anybody because your job is to secure that area,” Williams said Monday.
But after the game, Williams said he was ready to clock out when he had a chance run-in with Brady.
“I said, ‘Hey Tom Brady, good job, good game man.’ He looked at me and smiled,” Williams said. “He was very polite, very nice guy, humble. Sometimes I see players and say hello, and they just keep walking.”
The interaction led to a picture of the two posing together.
“Immediately after I took the picture, I got ran down by a supervisor,” Williams said. “They didn’t’ really give a reason, they said you know you’re wrong and you’re fired.”
Williams’ co-worker Christopher Moore also took a picture with the Patriots star quarterback.
