New England Patriots: What we learned about Tom Brady from The Match 2
By Sam Minton
Tom Brady still regrets the Patriots Super Bowl loss to the Eagles
There was a lot of playful jabs throughout the event. A joke from Charles Barkley may have even motivated Brady to hole out.
But one thing was clear, Brady didn’t enjoy jokes about the Philadelphia Eagles.
It started before the match began. When Peyton was asked who he might have caddied for him he mentioned the possibility of having Nick Foles. That one hurt Tom.
Even in a moment where people are talking about Tom’s success he makes a point to mention Philly. Justin Thomas told Brady that Tiger and Peyton aren’t the Atlanta Falcons. Brady went out of his way to talk about how the Eagles still make him cringe.
Brady could have just kept it moving and have a laugh, but you can genuinely see that he is still upset over the loss. That is just the type of player Brady is. He will never be satisfied or contempt. He is always determined to get better.
Brady does have every reason to be upset. He had one of the greatest performances in Super Bowl history. He threw for over 500 yards. Brady didn’t lose the Super Bowl, the defense did.
So it looks like the Super Bowl loss to the Eagles will stay with Brady for the rest of his career.
