Brady a reminder Bears were Wrecks

When Tom Brady cracked that huge Tom Brady smile Tuesday, one had no choice but to recall Rex Grossman's misery.

Those two quarterbacks could find their way into the same sentence only because media day at the Super Bowl on Tuesday brought back memories of one year ago, when the Bears suffered through their time in front of the press corps like it was an hour-long prostate exam.

Brady joked with reporters Tuesday, endured every question and goofy promotion, and laughed the entire time.

He even took pictures with his own camera, said he wanted to remember it, and added, "There's nothing about this week that's not fun.''

Tom Brady, ladies and gentlemen.

A year ago, Peyton Manning handled the media in much the same fashion, while Grossman through gritted teeth grudgingly answered questions, and by the end of the week had completely lost his poise and was calling reporters "ignorant.''

Grossman was mentally cashed, while Manning remained focused on his task.

He looked miserable the whole game. No I'm not talking about his performance.
Did you see his eyes? He looked like someone told him he had to lose the game. The lack of enthusiasm/energy? He was walking around between plays like he had to be there and didn't want to be.

No not to a veteran like Brady, Wrex yes but not Tom. If it was the 4th quarter and the score was 35-14 Giants yes I would agree. But I've seen too many games with top notch QBs being pressured all day even Brady before, and they're always right back at it with excitement, physically and the positive look in their eyes.
