Tom Brady Playing Quotations

WIth football you can have up to 28 guys you consider starters, and if they can pick up the slack when some aren't playing so well, you don't have to turn those two game losing streaks into six-game losing streaks.

After the first day of practice, there's not one guy who's playing at 100 percent or who feels great. Sometimes, getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth is the hardest part of the day - it just hurts.

Playing this team as many times as we have in the last few years, ... we realize how physical they are, and they're fast and they're disciplined. They're very well coached. It is going to be quite a challenge.

We're playing more consistently over the course of 60 minutes. I think there were times in games that we played better than others. We just didn't play well for very long.

I'm glad we're finally playing back at home. It's going to be a challenge. I wish we were playing them in December or something. Put those San Diego guys out in the cold.

I had a weird moment a couple days ago where I was sitting there during stretching, and I was like, 'I can't believe I've won two Super Bowls and I'm 27 years old and I'm sitting here playing professional football,' ... I guess I never thought I could possibly do that.

I love playing football. I love playing for the Patriots.
