Tom Brady as a senior in high school.
By John Murphy
For the second consecutive year I have a rooting interest in the Super Bowl.
Last year my Niner made the big game but lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. This year the Tampa Bay Bucs led by Tom Brady meet the Chiefs. Tom was a Serra Padre. Like me.
Brady is a determined sort. At Serra he was the second-string quarterback on an 0-8 frosh team that scored 2 TDs. All season. He didn’t start til the next year when one Kevin Krystofiak stopped throwing spirals and switched to hoops.
Brady’s older sisters, who attended Hillsdale High, were all softball stars. When Tom started to shine with the Pats, one of the sisters was quizzed. “Tommy? He’s not even the best athlete in the family.”
Dude’s done all right for himself. And he’s never forgotten his roots. Once a Padre, always a Padre.

I was at the tuck rule game which gifted Brady, his cheating coach and his teammates with the path to the Super Bowl.There,they cheated by tackling Marshall Faulk on every play, whether he had the ball or not.

Haters seemingly always have to hate. Brady did not ‘make the tuck rule call’, and Brady doesn’t play defense IE Marshall Faulk.
