That was the first time in all the years Brady has been playing football that they mi sed watching his games."We've never mi sed a game at Michigan or New England or wherever," Brady Sr. said, via . "For the first two games when I was in the hospital, I didn't even care if they were playing — much le s mi sing the game. It was a matter of life and death, just like anybody who goes to B.W. Webb Jersey the hospital. That's serious stuff."Tom Sr. spoke about the difficulties his son had trying to balance checking in on their well-being and beginning this new era in Tampa Bay.

It's beyond anything we could ever imagine." If Brady is able to pull out yet another championship, that would give him seven Super Bowl titles to his name, which is more than any franchise currently has throughout the league.
