IRVING, Texas — Tom Brady’s wife drew as much mention in the Dallas Cowboys’ locker room last week as the New England Patriots quarterback himself.
The Cowboys tried their best to make Brady just another “nameless, faceless” opponent. The mannequin in the plain uniform outside their locker room might as well have had a No. 12 on it.
But Brady has become one of the faces of the NFL, and while defensive end Greg Hardy’s joke about Brady’s wife, Gisele Bundchen, fell flat, it showed the Cowboys know exactly who they’re facing.
With a supermodel wife and four Super Bowl rings, Brady is a trophy quarterback.
