“The biggest game of our lives”

January
31

Tom Brady was reflecting today about how he had to battle for a starting job that he didn’t get until his junior season at Michigan and how he arrived in New England as a fourth-string quarterback “eating nachos before the game.” 

Brady, who was glad that he doesn’t have to speak to the media again until after Sunday’s game, was asked if he thinks this is the biggest game of his life.”I think this is the biggest game of all our lives, to tell you the truth. My life, the entire team, the coaches. We’re going to be remembering this game for as long as we live, win or lose. We’re either going to have great memories of this experience or we’re going to look at it truly as a missed opportunity. Not too many teams in the history of the NFL—none as a matter of fact—have been 18-0 going into this game.”

He went on to praise the Giants as a team that gave the Patriots all they could handle four weeks ago.

When asked how he thinks he’ll play in the biggest game of his life, Brady responded “Great … I’m not looking for a mediocre performance. I want you to know that.”
