TAMPA, Fla. - A tumultuous past week for Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady that saw his Bucs fall to 3-5 and marriage of 13 years end has given way to a sense of normalcy for the seven-time Super Bowl winner this week with the Los Angeles Rams coming to town, the team that played a "big" role in his decision to come out of retirement.
Brady ran out onto the practice field for the first time in a long time Thursday and he was exuberant at the podium meeting with reporters, smiling, laughing, even when acknowledging not only the Bucs' struggles as of late, but that his own personal life - one that's been dragged into tabloids and highly speculated about the last several months - is not perfect, and he's simply trying to do the best he can.
