FOXBORO, Mass. — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady needed stitches near his right thumb to play Sunday.

The Sports Hub’s Mike Felger said Brady was sewn up with four. ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported Brady needed 10 stitches before the game. After the game, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said No. 12 actually needed 12. Br... NESN.com

Why Brett Favre Now Believes Tom Brady Is Best Quarterback in NFL History
Brett Favre is a believer. While the topic of the best quarterback of all time varies based on who you ask, the three-time NFL MVP has given his vote of support to New England Patriots signal-caller Tom Brady. And in Favre’s rankings, Brady has dethroned a legend in Joe Montana. Speaking on the “Rich Eisen Show,” Favre gave his reason for such a decision, as well as his rationale for what makes Brady great. “I was not surprised by anything — now or in the future — that Tom does,” Favre said to Eisen. “I never thought I’d say that somebody was better than Joe Montana, but Joe Montana’s always been the best quarterback
How Tom Brady, Bill Belichick Helped Jimmy Garoppolo Win 49ers Debut
Jimmy Garoppolo is out of Tom Brady’s shadow now. He can build his own legacy on his own team without worrying about filling TB12’s shoes. But you’d best believe he learned everything he could from the best quarterback-head coach combo in the NFL. Garoppolo came up big in his San Francisco 49ers debut Sunday, leading a 14-play, 86-yard drive late in the fourth quarter to set up Robbie Gould’s game-winning field goal with four seconds remaining. Jimmy G’s stats weren’t exactly eye-popping, but his poise on that final drive reminded some of Brady’s late-game heroics under Bill Belichick on the New England Patriots. Coincidence? Not quite. ...

Tom Brady Voices Support For Gordon Hayward, Aaron Rodgers After Injuries

Anthony Scaramucci Suggests Tom Brady Dated Ivanka Trump, Doesn’t ‘100 Percent Know’
Anthony Scaramucci’s tenure as the White House communications director lasted just 10 days, but he’s still saying some pretty outrageous things. “The Mooch” was fired after a bizarre and profane on-the-record rant to New Yorker reporter Ryan Lizza, and he continued that trend Monday night in an appearance on “TMZ Live.” The topic of Tom Brady came up on the show, and Scaramucci suggested the quarterback might have skipped the New England Patriots’ latest White House visit because his wife, Gisele Bunchden, was jealous of a former relationship with President Donald Trump’s oldest daughter, Ivanka Trump. “I don’t 100 percent know, but my gu...
