The season-ending ACL injury that Tom Brady suffered in 2008 was no laughing matter, but the 44-year-old now can joke about it.
As many New England Patriots remember, Brady hurt his knee while being tackled by Kansas City Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard during the 2008 season opener. Brady missed the rest of the season, with Matt Cassel taking over and leading the Patriots to an 11-5 record, which wasn't good enough for playoff qualification.
That brings us to Tuesday, when Cassel tweeted at Brady about not being included in "Man in the Arena," a docuseries currently airing on ESPN+.
"Yo Tom Brady, I think my interview for 'Man in the Arena' got lost in the mail," he wrote.
Here was Brady's response:
Someone get those three in a room together, ASAP.
Now 13-plus years removed from his ACL tear, Brady is playing as well as he ever has. The future Hall of Fame quarterback is a leading MVP candidate and once again has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers looking like legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
