This was in the thing I wrote this morning, but I didn't want anyone here who doesn't read it to miss it - because it's pretty terrific:

Television commentator Sean McDonough appeared on The Greg Hill Show earlier this week and talked about a variety of things both on the Patriots and Red Sox, but there was one he brought up that was really special when it came to one of his conversations with former Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady.
He was asked about what his favorite Brady moment was and McDonough said that there wasn’t an on-field moment, but instead, there was an exchange with his dad that explained a lot about how incredible of a person Brady really is that stood out.
“Yeah, it would be off the field, I guess,” said McDonough. “We were together on a golf trip, and his dad had a Super Bowl ring. And, it’s a long story, but basically, the first Super Bowl that they won, Tom had his Super Bowl ring sized for his dad, and at the ring ceremony, he gave it to his dad, I believe it was at Kraft’s house. And his dad was like, ‘What’s this?’ And [Brady] said, ‘Well, that’s for you. Thanks to you, I’ve been able to achieve things like this, and you’ve been an important part of every moment of my life.’ Tom did that, never knowing if he was ever going to play in another Super Bowl again, nevermind win one.”
“I think he’s a really special guy, on and off the field. It’s been a pleasure to get to know him and his family. His Dad, I’ve played golf with his dad a few times, and his dad is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.”
Like everyone else, McDonough is excited for Brady to be honored this weekend,
“I think it’s going to be a really special day down there this weekend. I’m glad he’s getting what he deserves and I’m sure the reaction will be tremendous.”

Definitely an amazing revelation when you consider the fact that as McDonough said, he obviously had no idea if he'd ever potentially win another one. Just a really cool story, and I'm also glad that the club is streaming the halftime ceremony this weekend as well for those of us who won't be at the stadium live to see it.
