With Tom Brady getting ready to play in his tenth Super Bowl a week from Sunday, it’s a good time for this list of The Top Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Tom Brady.
- Not only has he spent more time in the Super Bowl than any other player . . . he’s also spent more time in front of a mirror.
- He spent two years riding the bench in college. A very lucky bench. Right, ladies?
- He intends to play until he’s 45 years old. So, yeah . . . even hot wives can be annoying.
- He has a cute little puppy that follows him everywhere he goes. Its name is Gronk.
- He prefers pants with large pockets so he can keep referees in them.
- He avoids eating sugar, dairy, and tomatoes. So don’t waste time offering a spoonful of your ketchup ice cream.
- He fell asleep in the locker room before his first Super Bowl. But only because someone made him watch a game broadcast by Joe Buck.
- His TB12 health regimen includes 45 minutes a day of smelling his own farts.
- The chip on his shoulder is a microchip because he’s part cyborg.
- His goal is to keep playing until Keith Richards dies.
