Has Moss always referred to Brady as "Tommy"?

Maybe this is old news and I never noticed it before, but has Randy Moss always called him "Tommy"?

"It was just a good read by Tommy. I read the defense. I think the corner was down, the safety was back to the right, so I just came all the way across the field. Tommy had faith in me, believed in me. We had good protection. Everything we did today was very well executed. The coaches got us prepared all week and we went out and made it happen."

Everybody on this team has referred to Tom as Tommy at one time or another. Charlie Weiss called him that all the time when he was here. It really is nothing new.

Moss can call him "Snuggles" if he wants, as long as he keeps playing like he did today.

I guess I never paid much attention to it then. I can understand Weiss doing it given his age and position to a young Brady, wasn't aware it was a common nickname when players addressed the press.


Thanks

Apparently everyone who knows Brady personally calls him Tommy. Even Michael Silver over at Yahoo! calls him Tommy.
