Miller: Expect Tom Brady to take more from Roger Goodell

February 04 05:15 2017

This hurts to write, due to my love of everything Colts and Peyton Manning. “And that’s why I say, especially in the era of free agency and salary cap, and the way you change your team every year”. Yet somehow, over the years he was bested by his rival – Tom Brady and the Patriots. Sometimes, you want more than another shiny hunk of hand-crafted silver. “Those words would never even come out of my mouth unless I just repeated them”.

Two losses, that is it.

Brady, who is preparing for his record-breaking seventh appearance in the Super Bowl, said on Wednesday that he hopes his mother, who has been suffering from illness, will be able to watch him from the stands.

It was revealed this week that she has an undisclosed illness, which the three-time Super Bowl MVP confirmed.

Coming off his four-game ban at the beginning of the season, Brady’s still managed a record-breaking touchdown to interception ratio. The greatest of all-time?

With that event, Tom Brady felt his father’s protectiveness as he himself was also a father, adding up to all the emotions he kept inside.

If the Falcons upset the Pats, that argument becomes even more tenuous as the foundation for a G.O.A.T. appraisal because Brady would remain tied with his boyhood idol Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, Sid Luckman and Arnie Herber for most National Football League championships won.

If the Patriots have a collective chip on their shoulder pads – and they are supremely motivated as “America’s Most Hated Team” – their otherwise even-keeled teammate is the guy who chisels it into a rapier-like point. “But it doesn’t mean anything if we don’t win Sunday”. I can jinx a team faster than the cover of Sports Illustrated, the cover of Madden NFL video games, the Bambino, the Billy Goat, or Gillette. “She always says, ‘Throw the ball really fast, really fast.’ So that’s what I try to do”.

As for his Brady fandom, Damon wears his heart on his sleeve.

Super Bowl LI is almost upon us and one of the major story lines going into the big game has nothing to do with the matchup between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons.

During his Wednesday press conference, Brady responded to Jim Harbaugh’s quote that it would be “phenomenal” if Brady someday became the quarterbacks coach – or even head coach – at the University of MI. The stick-to-sports crowd showed up too, with 42 percent saying Trump’s connections with New England don’t impact their feelings about the team at all.
