But I'll believe it when I see it. What we need to remember is that Tom Brady molded himself into an all-time standard-bearer by virtue of his Walter Payton-like work ethic. Every single year from his rookie season through 2007 he won the team's offseason training award and the plum parking space that came with it. Since then, he has flown to fashion shoots in Europe, married a bombshell of a wife, and filmed a cameo on "Entourage." Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have done anything differently, but expecting him to rekindle the MVP candle when putting in a fraction of the work will be tough.
