If you were to look up the word winner in the dictionary, there is every chance you’d find, alongside the literal definition of the word, a photo of seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady.
The 44-year-old didn’t get where he is by being an individual who is scared to win or has issues with bringing it on when the big games get underway.
His return from a very short retirement has led to a surge in betting interest in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers going all the way to the Super Bowl for the second time in three years, and it might be a bet that’s as safe as these great betting tips for IPL. That’s because, with a winner like Brady around, any NFL team has a fighting chance of progressing far beyond where they’d be without him.
The former New England Patriots man is, unsurprisingly, not a good loser, and that’s according to long-serving NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick who has recalled incidents following matches where he ended up on the winning side of their duels.
“Beating Tom Brady, after the first time, because after the first time he didn’t shake my hand,”
“I was on the Jets [for the second win, four years later], and I had to chase him down on the 50-yard line.”
“Apparently, he hates losing more than everybody else hates losing,”
“When he does lose, I want a handshake,” Fitzpatrick added.
Fitzpatrick apparently beat Brady on three occasions, with different teams, and on every occasion, the star quarterback didn’t take things well. Clearly, there will be some who feel such behavior is unwarranted and ungentlemanly, but in all fairness, it’s part of what makes the seasoned pro who he is.
Brady has touched upon this issue before, stating honestly;
“I try to be a good sport as best I can,”
“I know it doesn’t always look like that because sometimes I get a little pissed out there, but for the most part, I try to be a good sport.”
Now set for his 23rd NFL season, it’s obvious that Brady still has the desire and drive to make an impact and that blind determination will inevitably also mean that an individual isn’t going to easily take a loss and move on with their lives. You can tell that each and every time Tom Brady has lost a game, he’s taken it personally.
Fortunately, defeat comes fleetingly for the Tampa Bay man, and you can guarantee that he’s going to be putting in his best displays for 2022 and perhaps even beyond.
Last season he failed to steer Tampa Bay long into the post-season but still posted some of his best-ever numbers, albeit this was aided by the additional game added to the NFL schedule.
As for when Brady does call time on his NFL playing days, he’s already lined up his next gig after signing a whopping $375 million contract to become Fox Sports’ NFL lead analyst; though it’s unclear when this position would start, it’s not going to be for a year or two
