It's been a great nine years (with more to come!). It's always nice to see how it began. Watching Brady - starting with the Combine workout then onto Belichick riding him in practice - and thinking what he's become. It's really something.
I remember the following summer thinking, "Well, we got a Super Bowl." Still basking in how good a feeling that was I wondered how we'd look back on it five, ten years down the road. Would we think, "Oh yeah, Brady ... what a one-year wonder he was. Well, one year -- I'll take it." Or would we look back and say, "Wow, that was the start of something great"? Fortunately it was the latter. I just wonder how many of us, even the most optimistic, thought it'd be going so strong so many years later.
