Welcome Back, Tom Brady!

By Trey Lawaski

It seems like an eternity, but the day is finally here. Tom Brady has returned to action for the Patriots, finally putting to rest his horrible injury that sidelined him for all of 2008. I remember being there exactly when it happened.

Maybe it was my girlfriend's fault! It was her first ever Patriots game, and look at what happened! Not sure if I'll be bringing her back to the games this year, but I was there with her that day. In a flash, Brady was off the field after one play and Cassel was in. I don't remember much more.

However, Cassel did a very commendable job back in 2008. Now he is in KC and Tommy is back at the helm. Tom played the first half going 10 for 15 for 100 yards, 2 TD's to Chris Baker the Touchdown Maker, and 1 INT.

While he was great in action, the moment that stands out in my mind is the way Brady reacted to the one bad pass that he threw for an interception. I liked this.

He took himself just as seriously during the first exhibition game of the year as he would had the team had everything on the line in the super bowl. These are the qualities that make Brady a winner in my book.

He is a passionate leader that blames no one but himself for his mistakes. There is no crying about his line or wide receivers like Mr. Peyton Manning has done in the past.

After seeing Brady in action for his first time in a year, I was really happy to see the way he looked. He was a bit rusty, but it's to be expected of anyone coming back from such an injury, and even any quarterback coming back from the off-season.

He is getting his rhythm back with Mr. Moss and has made new friends with Chris Baker. Tom's toy box is full this year and he just can't wait to play.
