a\u00a0usa today<\/strong> article <\/a>by a.j. perez<\/strong> and lorenzo reyes<\/strong> lays out<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(displays) the details of\u00a0this amazing story.<\/p>\n

a former executive of a tabloid<\/em> newspaper in mexico city allegedly<\/em> swiped<\/em> two of tom brady’s game-worn<\/em> new england patriots super bowl jerseys and potentially the helmet worn<\/em> by denver broncos linebacker von miller during super bowl 50.<\/h4>\n

a tabloid <\/strong><\/em><\/a>is a sensationalist newspaper. \u00a0allegedly<\/strong><\/em> means supposedly<\/em>, it’s been said but it’s not necessarily a fact.<\/em> \u00a0swipe<\/strong> <\/em>means steal, take<\/em>. worn<\/strong><\/em> means they had it on during the game<\/em>. it’s the irregular past participle of wear<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

so the culprit<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(guilty guy) not only took brady’s jersey from this super bowl, but also the jersey he\u00a0wore<\/em> in super bowl xlix, where he was also mvp, and maybe mvp von miller’s helmet from super bowl 50<\/a>.<\/p>\n

an\u00a0associated press<\/strong> article<\/a> on espn.com<\/strong> reports that the super bowl hustler<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(gets things deceptively, by tricking people) was carrying around and showing off<\/a> a jersey worn by super bowl xxxiv mvp kurt warner<\/strong> and boasting<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(spoke with arrogance) about other memorabilia that he had back home in mexico. \u00a0he also bragged<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(boasted) that he wasn’t at the super bowl to work, he was there as a fan. and of course, to steal<\/em> some shit.<\/p>\n

the usa today article includes a 7-point statement from la prensa<\/strong>, the thief’s\u00a0employer. their fourth point says<\/p>\n

editora la prensa s.a. de c.v., if these allegations<\/em> are true, strongly rejects the behavior<\/em> of martin mauricio ortega camberos, who took advantage of<\/em> the position he held,<\/em> used the newspaper la prensa to obtain media credentials to access the field of play, press conferences and probably other areas of nrg stadium.<\/h4>\n
\"mauricio<\/h6>\n
ortega camberos\u00a0<\/em>took advantage of<\/u>\u00a0his professional position to get access to tom brady and his jerseys. (tmz)<\/em><\/h6>\n

in point 5, la prensa claims<\/a> they had no idea what their employee was up to<\/em><\/strong> (doing)<\/p>\n

it is worth noting<\/em> that none of the managers of editora la prensa, s.a. de c.v., nor<\/em> of the organizacion editorial mexicana, had any knowledge of the unfortunate and reproachable acts that martin mauricio ortega camberos allegedly<\/em> committed on february 5, 2017<\/h4>\n

it’s worth noting<\/strong><\/em><\/a> indicates an important, possibly not obvious point<\/em>. phrases like\u00a0it should be noted<\/em> or it’s important to note<\/em>\u00a0do a better, more direct job of dissociating la prensa from what camberos did.\u00a0\u00a0nor<\/strong><\/em> is used to introduce a second negative. in this case organizaci\u00f3n editorial mexicana<\/strong> (the company that owns\u00a0la prensa), like the managers of la prensa didn’t know anything about ortega camberos’ activities at the super bowl.<\/p>\n

\"organizacion<\/p>\n

it’s worth noting<\/u>, uh, nobody in our organization knew anything about this.<\/em><\/h6>\n

nevertheless<\/a>, la prensa\u00a0apologized.<\/p>\n

regardless<\/em> of the truth, these alleged<\/em><\/a> acts committed personally by martin mauricio ortega camberos could have happened<\/em> while he still held the position<\/em> of director of the newspaper la prensa; editora la prensa, s.a. de c.v.\u00a0offers a public apology to our readers and the mexican people for these regrettable acts.<\/h4>\n

regardless<\/strong><\/em><\/a> means it doesn’t matter<\/em>. could have happened<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is a hypothetical situation in the past (3rd conditional). the accusations may or may not be true, but if they are, they happened while ortega camberos was a director in their company.<\/p>\n

a\u00a0headline on cbssports.com<\/strong><\/a> describes it like this<\/p>\n

Mexican newspaper issues<\/em> apology for theft<\/em> of Tom Brady’s Super Bowl jersey<\/h1>\n

issue<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is a verb in this example. \u00a0it means la prensa released<\/em> or produced<\/em> an apology. theft<\/strong><\/em> is the act of a thief<\/em>.<\/p>\n
