...has risked his or hers lives. Those words can only be describing one man, one living legend; Tom Brady. The three things that make Tom Brady the greatest quarterback in the NFL and in the history of the NFL if his work in the regular season, the postseason and his work off the field. Any NFL player knows the importance of the regular season. The goal is to win enough games so your team can make playoffs. Simple right? Well not so fast because a bunch of key players in the NFL have had losing seasons or have not made playoffs. Now, a true hero to the sport has never had a losing season and has made playoffs for a bunch of seasons. Not many players have had the same amount of success as Tom Brady. In 2001 Tom had his first career play in a NFL game when the starting...

...thought of as a hero because of his postseason records, but is thought of as a disgrace because of his involvement in “Deflategate”. Tom Brady is an NFL quarterback that was drafted in the sixth round in the 2000 draft. He is arguably one of the best quarterbacks to ever walk this planet, winning four Super Bowl’s as a starting quarterback with the New England Patriots. Brady’s reign on the Patriots might be over, due to his involvement in the Deflategate scandal that took place in the 2015 AFC championship against the Colts. The scandal is controversial because Tom Brady was not punished for these actions until the 2016 season (one and a half years later). The owner of the Patriots was upset with the NFL because Tom Brady had been cleared...

...once you hear the name the New England Patriots, their quarterback Tom Brady comes to mind. Tom Brady was drafted by the Patriots seventeen years ago back in the 2000 NFL draft. The funny thing about Tom Brady is that he actually was drafted in the sixth round which is weird considering how great of a quarterback he has become. Since Brady became the starting quarterback in 2000, he immediately began showing his potential. The Patriots have played in the AFC title game eleven times in the years 2001, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2011, 2014, and 2016, winning seven of them. Out of those seven title wins, the Patriots went on the win five Super Bowls in the years 2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, and the most recent last season in 2016. In the five Super Bowl wins Brady has played in, he was voted the Super Bowl MVP four times in the years 2001, 2003, 2014, and 2016. Brady also has been named the NFL MVP twice in the years 2007 and 2010. On top of all those titles Brady also is currently the all-time number four in career passing yards with 61,582! Plus, Brady seems to have no intention of retiring anytime soon so he will surely be climbing up that list here soon....

...Tom Brady is the Greatest Quarterback of All Time Tom Brady, a name that has changed New England forever. He is more than a household name. More than the average human being. And more than your average football quarterback. He is the best to ever live. In New Englanders minds, he is undoubtedly the greatest quarterback of all time, but of course to others, there is disagreement. But just recently, there has been much debate about Brady being the greatest quarterback ever due to his fourth super bowl win and unbelievable performance. He has accomplished so much, done so great and has yet to disappoint. Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time because he has always played like the best and now that he has won four super bowls, there is much debate and all the more reason for why he is the greatest. Brady can be compared with any player, but the best comparison is with Joe Montana because he is considered the greatest quarterback ever. Tom Brady grew up idolizing Joe Montana and never knew that one day he would be considered better than him. Regular season statistics is a good place to start. Brady has thrown for over 4,000 yards in seven seasons, totaling at least 25 touchdown...

...Darrien Baylor Composition 1 Test Out 1 April 2014 History of the New England Patriots Today I will be writing about the research I have found on the best teams in the NFL in my option. This team has won numerous Superbowls broken countless NFL records but always maintains to stay humble when explaining a win or lost in a press conference. This team shows finesse and creativity on the field. The New England Patriots or the Pats as the team is also know as is my favorite team n the NLF. It will be my pleasure and my honor to share with the life, upbringing and downfalls of this organization. Professional football arrived in New England on Nov. 16, 1959, when a group of local businessmen, led by former public relations executive William H. "Billy" Sullivan Jr. was awarded the eighth and final franchise in the new American Football League. One week later, Northwestern University running back Ron Burton was selected as the franchise's first draft choice and Syracuse running back Gerhardt Schwedes was selected as the team's first territorial choice. (1) One of the first orders of business of the management group was giving the franchise a name and that was accomplished through a public contest. Thousands of entries were submitted to name the team and 74 fans suggested the winning name, the Boston Patriots. Shortly after the franchise name was chosen, Boston Globe artist Phil Bissell drew a cartoon of a Minuteman preparing to snap a football and owner Sullivan liked the...

Joe Namath played for the Jets and the Rams and Joe Montana played for the 49ers and the Chiefs. The others like Troy Aikman played only the Cowboys and Eli Manning only the Giants and Tom Brady only the Patriots. I found all this on the http://www.pro-football-reference.com web site and I copied there stats at the end of this paper The domain of D set are: (Jets, Namath),(Giants, Manning),(Cowboy, Aikman (49ers, Montana), (Patriots, Brady). In this order this is a function, because each member of the domain is not in any other domain.

...believe that the Patriots, mainly Tom Brady, cheated by doing so. Whether it was completely intentional, the quarterback is to let the equipment team know whether or not the ball is up to par. Even if he did not know that it was legally underweight, playing for multiple years should have allowed him to know that the ball was too deflated. This “cheating scandal” all sparked after an interception made by a Colts lineman; who claimed that the ball was underweight. (Weight standards set by the NFL are 12.5 pounds per square inch.) If the ball was noticeably underweight, despite the mathematical error, then I would consider that enough evidence to say that Tom Brady cheated. The Ideal Gas Law is a scientific formula that can be used when you know the number of moles of gas, temperature, pressure, and volume. This law can be used when testing the footballs because you already know all of these elements. “The Patriots’ other 11 footballs be tested at halftime; four Colts footballs were...

Brady was all big ten in both his starting seasons and led michigan to a 20-5 winning record over those years. Now Tom Brady is the quarterback for the Patriots and is one of the most respected quarterbacks in the game today(Kinney, 2006). Another famous player for the U of M is Charles Woodson. Woodson played for the Wolverines in 1995-97. Charles Woodson was not only a Heisman winner, but the only Heisman winner to play primarily defense. Woodson is now a player for the Oakland Raiders(Kinney, 2006). The most famous coach has to be coach Fielding Yost. Yost arrived at the scene in 1901and was the athletic director and coach. During Yost's early years Michigan was a powerhouse. Yost's teams became the "point a minute" team. Yost led the Wolverines into the first bowl game in football history and defeated Stanford 49-0. Yost is widely considered the best coach in Michigan's history. He led the way and made winning a tradition at the U of M(Kinney, 2006).

...since the creation of the position, the power to act in the “best interests” of the sport regarding conduct detrimental to the league has been entrusted to the commissioner. Currently all four major professional sports leagues in the United States–the MLB, NFL, NHL, and NBA–have commissioners with broad power. The league commissioner generally has power to take any action necessary to protect the “best interests” of the sport. Under this power the commissioner has, among other powers, the power to discipline those in the league. The case book notes even though the commissioner is hired and can be fired by the owners at any time, while in office, a commissioner’s ruling cannot be easily challenged. In this course up to this point courts have generally held the commissioner’s power to act in the “best interests” of the sport to be nearly absolute (See Finley, Oakland, Milwaukee); however, in...

So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations. (Tom Brady Quotes, n.d.)

...The NFL stuck to its decision of penalizing New England Patriot’s superstar quarterback Tom Brady with a four-game suspension for his alleged involvement in the notorious football manipulating scandal called “Deflategate”, as reported by CNN. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced the ruling on Tuesday and claimed that Brady was trying to “hide evidence of his own participation in the underlying scheme to alter the footballs” by destroying his personal mobile phone that allegedly contained proof of his involvement in the misdemeanor. The four-time Super Bowl champion’s agent and attorney, Don Yee, defended his client by saying that Brady “did nothing wrong” in tossing away an old phone as he merely wanted to protect all his personal information...
