Tom Brady's Hat Was The Most Exciting Part Of Patriots' Preseason Win
By Michael Hurley, CBS Boston
BOSTON (CBS) -- It was a fairly quiet preseason debut for Tom Brady on Thursday night, in a 10-3 Patriots win that was dominated by defense.
But Brady's choice of headwear for his postgame press conference was anything but quiet.
The 42-year-old quarterback took the podium sporting the same hat he wore upon entry to the stadium hours earlier, a rather snazzy chapeau that drew instant reactions from reporters sharing a room with Brady as well as those watching live on television.
Brady was told that it looked like a hat that might be worn by Cam Newton. Brady said that Newton "wears it a little better."
Who doesn't love some good hat talk?
As tends to happen these days, Brady's choice of headwear immediately burned up the internet.

I feel like there should be some salsa on top of his hat and tortilla chips resting on the brim. #lifeoftheparty https://t.co/WNME799I8b

At the very least, it's comforting to know that even in a preseason game where there's not a tremendous amount of action to discuss, there will always be something to talk about postgame.
On Friday, upon surveying the storm he had caused simply by wearing a hat, Brady promised/threatened that there is more hat greatness to come.
