A must read interview with Tom Brady
in Sports Illustrated. Here's some highlights:
SI.com: You mentioned you have two kids. There are rumors that you guys are having a third. I don't know if you want to get into that or not.
Brady: I like working on it.
SI.com: That last pass to Gronkowski in the Super Bowl, do you think he was going to catch it?
Brady: You know, it's interesting because this is the first time someone's asked me that question. I threw it and when I let it go, I knew we were gonna have a chance. The ball got batted up in the air and I saw it tip 60 yards away from me, but then I got knocked down, so I fell to the ground and I saw the ball get deflected. Unfortunately, though, I looked over and saw the bad guys running on the field.
SI.com: You've won a lot of Super Bowls, but does it hurt to lose two to the same team? The Giants aren't in your division or conference, so they're not a rival, but...
Brady: We play them every year in the preseason. Geographically, we're very close, so yeah, there's something to losing to them twice in the Super Bowl in the most meaningful game of the year and the most meaningful game of our lives. You think about some bad memories from games you lose and there's that blue uniform with white numbers. That's what you think about it.
SI.com: The Jets seem like they're going to try to tone things down this year. Do you think Rex Ryan and the Jets can tone things down?
Brady: We've had some trouble with them. Last year, we beat them twice. The year before we split and they beat us in the playoffs. So they're a good team. I got a lot of respect for that team. They play hard. They're well coached. It's a heated rivalry. There's no love lost between the two teams.
SI.com: You can't have two more opposite guys than Bill Belichick and Rex Ryan. Do you think you could play for Rex Ryan?
Brady: I'm just glad I play for Coach Belichick.
