NY Times Article: Tom Brady Will Not Stop"
A lengthy and insightful article about Tom Brady is at:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/01/magazine/tom-brady-cannot-stop.html?h…
And will be in the Times Magazine on February 1, 2015.
Tom and his father seemed to be candid with the journalist. The use of alternative medicine may help to keep in the game a few more years.

I respectfully disagree.

She (Giselle) isn't special at all to me personally.
Ditto for me.
That's not to say she's un-attractive ... just doesn't have that "it" for me like other models do.
January 27th, 2015 at 1:09 PM ^
She doesn't do anything for me either; I'd pick a dozen women over her.
But she is beautiful... Although, not really Brazilian in the least bit but anyone with enough influence can pass for whatever they want to, I guess.
January 27th, 2015 at 2:27 PM ^
From Wikipedia -- she's 6th generation Brazillian. Born in Brazil. Are you some sort of supermodel birther?
January 27th, 2015 at 3:04 PM ^
I've traveled to Brazil on business in the past. It's no myth ... the ladies there are quite pleasant to the eye.
Unless, like me, you walk into a door while admiring. I literally walked smack into a door. :-(

If you would only take a dozen women over her, then she must be pretty freaking special!
Unless you mean you would only take twelve at once over her. Nah, that would still make her pretty special.

The quote from his dad: "It will end badly." in terms of how his time with the Pats will wind up was pretty interesting. I think Belichick's actions this week show that he will have no qualms about cutting Brady and his salary restructuring makes that easier. As much as I like how Seattle plays football, I'll probably still be cheering for Tom in the Super Bowl, but I find the Patriots a pretty repulsive team to cheer for, and this article only reinforces that.

If he were let go by the Patriots before he wanted to retire, I'd start hating them I think. Belichick has always been a cold, impersonal person which makes it easy to not like him. But I've always disagreed with the way they've handled personnel there, sometimes trading or cutting key players from the team. Brady must have been really pissed on a number of occasions when all-pro guys are let go - especially Wes Welker recently. As successful as they've been, I think these personnel moves have cost them at least one Super Bowl win, maybe more.

That is why the renogtiated his contract. To allow NE to walk away from him. He'll get another big money deal like Manning did for his last couple of years from a contender.
January 27th, 2015 at 4:33 PM ^
have been so completely blown out of proportion it's funny even for Patriots related media.
Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, and a slew of other quarterbacks come out saying how particular they are about the balls and how they make sure the team gets them weighted just right for them specifically. Multiple news articles come out saying the same thing, how it's the quarterbacks that make sure each ball is just how they like it.
Belichick says he doesn't really know much about it and Tom knows far more about how the footballs are handled than he does and the media gets all stupid "BILL BELICHICK THROWS TOM BRADY UNDER THE BUS." even though he said nothing new at compared to what anyone else had said about it.

“And I remember Tommy saying, ‘One day, Mom and Dad, I’m going to be a household name.' ” Gotta Love His Belief in Himself!

Hopefully this treatment really does work. I'd hate to hear about him 10 years from now with a bunch of ailments.
Speaking of which, Harbaugh's body seems to have held up pretty well despite a similarly long career.
January 27th, 2015 at 1:39 PM ^
....except for Mrs. Brady....
January 27th, 2015 at 12:24 PM ^
post... Great work.
January 27th, 2015 at 12:35 PM ^
OP's title immediately took me here....
Tom Brady is out there. He can't be bargained with or reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity. Or remorse. Or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, until you are dead....
January 27th, 2015 at 1:00 PM ^
I read it this morning and strongly recommend it. As mentioned in the article itself. For as famous as Brady is, very little is known about him. This article has more than fluff.
January 27th, 2015 at 1:38 PM ^
Once he retires (in 8 years) he can fill that void on this football staff.
Imagine that? Talk about a beautifully executed succession plan.
Eventually, newly appointed AD JimHarbaugh can introduce our new HC Tom Brady.
Mind blown..

Hyper competitive athletes like Brady, and even HARBAUGH in his day (and now extending to coaching and winning) share what made Michael Jordan the greatest player in his sport - an insatiable will to do whatever it takes to crush the opponent.
Aside from obvious physical gifts, MJ was better than anybody else because he metaphorically (maybe even actually) wanted to kill his opponent for having the balls to think they could even try to beat him. If you watch Brady on the sideline crushing teammate helmets with head butts, you can see the same kind of intensity. It's what separates the very good from the great.

Great quote from the article:
"But Brady tends not to equate immortality with hardware anyway. Whenever he is asked to name his favorite Super Bowl win, his reply is “the next one.” "
TB appropriating a Jon Falk quote - I like it.
