Skip Bayless Thinks He Knows Tom Brady’s ‘Dream Super Bowl Matchup’
Share this: Tom Brady probably won’t care who he faces in Super Bowl LI, so long as the New England Patriots make it that far and come out on the winning end. The New York Giants have defeated Brady in two previous Super Bowls, though, so perhaps the Patriots quarterback would be even more motivated than usual if given the opportunity to exact revenge in this season’s big game. That’s the logic Skip Bayless is subscribing to with the NFL playoffs fast approaching.

The QB said he picked up the idea from former teammate Matt Cassel. How’d Cassel learn about it? From the man he used to back up in New England — Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Here’s how the interesting undergarment looked on Barkley during pregame warmups: The
