Tim Brown: Tom Brady owes success to Tuck Rule game

Because three teams picked quarterbacks in the sixth round (Marc Bulger went at the top of the round to the Saints) and the Browns got the only one who couldn’t play a lick, that’s why.

As surely know, the Patriots quarterback is famously pals with President Donald Trump and has remained noticeably tight-lipped about Drumpf’s recent executive orders. He’ll go down in history as the best quarterback to ever play the game. But he says his confidence is high heading into his fourth Super Bowl. He threw only 14 passes and gained just 96 yards through the air, letting the running game and the defense do the damage in a 16-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings. We’ve been together 17 years. With a 117.1 passer rating, on paper, he’s been more productive than his opponent counterpart.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Brady will be at the Super Bowl.

Bradshaw, who won his four Super Bowls with the Steelers from 1974-79, rattled off a list of quarterbacks that he thought deserved consideration for the unofficial title of greatest of all time. Neither Bradshaw nor Brady have had that kind of scrambling ability.

Coming off his four-game ban at the beginning of the season, Brady’s still managed a record-breaking touchdown to interception ratio. Like Rice at wide receiver, there will be no other acceptable answer.

Patriots have to run down the clock and what better Quarterback to do it, than Tom Brady.

If you’re interested in the topic, you should definitely read Leibovich’s entire story, because there are a handful more quotes like the ones above, in which Trump talks about his great relationship with the Patriots. But one can make an argument for this season being his most impressive given the significant obstacles he overcame.

From chatting with the elder Brady, it’s evident just how proud he is.

Though Brady is a brilliantly media-savvy player, often choosing not to wade into political waters, his connection with Trump has been pretty clear over the years.

Before his last Super Bowl, he posted a childhood photo of him wearing a Joe Montana jersey with the caption, ‘I’ve been preparing for Sunday since 1983’. “They gonna probably shut the city down for like a week”.
