Tom Brady has been at this whole football thing for a long, long time.
The New England Patriots quarterback famously is in Year 20 of his NFL career. He’s been there, he’s done that; he’s won more championships than any other quarterback in league history and he is toward the top of just about every statistical leaderboard a quarterback could dream of.
So when Bill Belichick gave Brady the game ball after the Patriots 35-14 win over the New York Giants for passing Peyton Manning for second on the all-time passing yards list, it was a nice surprise.
Belichick also pointed out that Brady could get the game ball just about every week considering he seems to break records on a weekly basis.
“Tom breaks a record every week, so we could really probably give him a game ball after every game. But I think this one for what he’s accomplished in terms of total career passing yards is pretty noteworthy,” Belichick said, via ESPN’s Mike Reiss.

Valid point, Bill.
