Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady 'ready to go' after 11-day absence

INDIANAPOLIS -- Speaking for the first time since his 11-day absence tending to what have been described as "personal matters," Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady said Saturday that he "feels good" and that it was not a difficult decision to step away from the team.

"It's all personal. Everyone's got different situations they're dealing with," Brady said. "We all have really unique challenges to our life. I'm 45 years old, man. There's a lot of s--- going on. Just gotta try to figure out life the best you can. It's a continuous process.
