Tom Brady doesn't buy all this 'Dynasty' talk
The media and the general public can do what they want in that regard, but Brady isn't going to give that kind of talk any credence by joining in the discussion.

``That's much too much to compare myself with people like them,'' Brady said after completing 23-of-33 passes for 236 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions and a 110.2 quarterback rating to lead the Pats to a 24-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX.

``When I look at them, I see how much they accomplished and how good they were over long periods of time,'' Brady added. ``Those other guys are unbelievable. They're in the Hall of Fame. I'd love to be able to play like them. That would be an incredible thing if I could do it. But I've got a long way to go and a lot of growing to do.''

``When I look at myself, I see all the ways I can get better,'' Brady said last night. ``I've only been in the league for five years. I've only been starting for four years. When I look at my game, I see all the things I'm not very good at, so many things that I have to improve on.

``That's why I would never put myself on a pedestal. I just don't think I should be compared with guys like Montana and Young and Marino at this stage of my career. They've done a lot more than I have. All I can tell you is that we have a great group of guys on this team. That's why we've been able to do some great things. I'm just a quarterback here and I'm proud of that. I love leading the offense. I love breaking the huddle and being a captain here.''

1. Come on Will...
If Brady never played another down in the NFL, in five years he'd be in Canton making an acceptance speech. I admire the humility, but he's a part of a dynasty there in New England, whether he wants to acknowledge it or not.

4. This si a good sign--once you start believing what people say
about you--whether good or bad--you start to fade.
