Funny story about your dad! We'd just moved out here for Leaf, and my sports heart was still out in Boston (still mostly is), so I watched with no vested interested.

Ya can't help but feel for the guy considering just how far he fell. I give him credit for being able to poke fun at it now.

Redemption stories are always a great thing. Good on him.
Glad my story doesn't involved a busted jaw.....

Actually got to the point after enough years where I had to start tampering down my giddiness on Monday mornings after another Brady win.
