Yup. And he is wise beyond his years - he learns from his mistakes, admits them, and moves on.

Interesting, because it suggests the whole thing was a distraction last week and that now they're all ready to move on.

A very sensible interview. But would you expect any different.

This guy is our leader, and we're lucky to have him.

The epitome of leadership.

Bingo, and this was very telling:

For example, last week, I spent a lot of energy thinking about it. You look at the end of the week, it really wasted a lot of my time and a lot of my energy. It was a big mental drain and I think it affected the way I played. I just didn’t feel like I brought as much to the table as I normally could. That’s why I’m excited about this week – hey, I learned a good lesson, I’m going to go out there and try to do the best I can do.”

Mabey this is why BB pulled the trigger as soon as he did--knowing it was only going to get worse!

I'm surprised that it affected Brady so much, to the point that his play was affected. I guess he is quite human after all. This changes my opinion on why BB pulled the trigger now, maybe he did realize that this really would be a distraction to the team if it lingered.
