Known to be a vigilant supporter of his superstar son, Tom Sr. has never been once to mince words. But for this Super Bowl, Don’t expect to see Tom Sr. anywhere near the media.
Speaking to Rob Bradford of WEEI, Brady says he’s forbidden his father from speaking to the media.
“I’ve banned my Dad from talking, so he’s no longer available to the media.”
“I love my Dad. As any parent knows how much you love your kids,” Brady added. “My Dad has been my best friend my entire life. He’s always been my No. 1 supporter. Hopefully he’s at the game cheering me on. He’s great man and I love him to death. He’s taught me everything about life. Certainly about how to be a father because he’s been the best one a son could ever ask for. I try to pass those things on to my kids because he was so supportive of not only me but my three sisters were all great athletes in their own right. My mom, they’re still married after close to 46 years. I’ve been very, very fortunate.”
Tom Sr. loves his son, that’s all. But this week, he’ll be doing it quietly with the rest of the family.
