TAMPA — Here comes the Lord of the Rings. Here comes Captain Comeback. Here comes Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
His first regular-season visit to Raymond James Stadium will be Oct. 5 for a Thursday night nationally televised game against the Bucs on CBS.
Brady is Leonardo DiCaprio with a chinstrap. Model wife. Drives a Brink's truck. He has won five Super Bowls, more than any other quarterback in history. FBI agents deliver his shirts.
Brady provided the sports performance of the year by engineering the greatest comeback in an NFL title game, overcoming a 28-3 deficit against the Falcons to win Super Bowl LI 34-28 in overtime.
