Raise your hand if you’re tired of hearing about DeflateGate.
Unless you’re Bill Nye “The Science Guy,” we’re guessing your hand is in the air.
Fortunately, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady feels the same way. On Sunday, he did his best to change the subject by posting a goosebump-inducing video on his Facebook page to prep fans for New England’s Super Bowl XLIX showdown with the Seattle Seahawks.
Forget the Pro Bowl. Let’s play this game right now.
If the speech in the background sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the one delivered by Coach Gary Gaines (played by Billy Bob Thornton) in the 2004 film “Friday Night Lights.”
The video also includes footage from the Patriots’ previous Super Bowl victories, including Ty Law’s pick-six against the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI and Mike Vrabel’s touchdown catch against the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII.
With exactly one week until kickoff, it’s time to focus on football again, and Brady delivered that message loud and clear.
