Tom Brady’s Life in the NFL
One of the big names of the National Football League, and the biggest face of the New England Patriots organization, is Tom Brady. Brady, whom is one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks is commonly recognized in a lot of different ways. The many mixed emotions about Brady oppose to his abilities on the field, are a concern to many, and amazing to the others. He is pointed at as the greatest quarterback of all time, a cheater, a cry baby, a celebrity, and a role model for many. In my eyes, he is hands down the greatest quarterback to ever touch a football field. In this paper, I will validate my point by comparing and contrasting four games without Tom, and four games with him from the current 2016 season. In the 2015 AFC Championship, the New England Patriots went on to battle the Indianapolis Colts, to win the conference championship, and would go on to win the super bowl. In that game, a Colts player had a concern about a Patriots football after intercepting one of Tom Brady’s passes. That concern was the air pressure in the ball. It turned out, after further investigation after the game, the ball was in fact deflated. The concern from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, was that Brady played a big role in that. The reasoning behind that, a deflated ball however is easier to catch in cold weather.

    Money Pit “It’s reminiscent of a shark that will die if it doesn’t keep moving and ripping little fish to shreds”, says Mark Lebovich of the New York Times. American Football has become a religion. American Football is everywhere and seems to be governed by some Constitution-like power. “The sport provides a belief system at a time when faith in so many community institutions - government, religion, actual families – is weakening.” Currently the league faces many challenges such as player health and safety, drop in youth-football participation, lawsuits and keeping the model that football was built on alive.…

    New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been a strong proponent of an NFL end-zone replay camera. As of now, there is no end-zone replay camera, rather there is only a sideline camera. Although the sideline camera gives replay officials a decent perspective of the football play being reviewed, the sideline replay camera is not always perfectly reliable and sometimes the replay officials make the incorrect call. Belichick believes that if there was an end-zone replay camera as well as a sideline replay camera, then the NFL referees would have another perspective when viewing a replay, which would make the NFL officials' play rulings both more accurate and precise. According to NFL owners and the league, Bill Belichick ranted endlessly…
