Brady Joyful His Ailing Mother Could Attend Amazing Night
HOUSTON (AP) — Tom Brady doesn't want to talk about "Deflategate." He'd rather talk about a night he will never forget and how much this meant to his mother.
The New England quarterback spoke Monday hours after he won his fifth Super Bowl ring and fourth MVP trophy. He calls the 34-28 overtime victory over Atlanta a "hell of game" for his mother, who was able to attend a game for the first time this season because of an undisclosed illness.
Brady says he still can't find his game jersey, which went missing in the locker room afterward. But he jokes that he expects to spot it on an online auction.
