CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Tom Brady turns 40 on Aug. 3. His next regular-season NFL snap will come as quadragenarian.
Yet he told the MMQB's Peter King on Sunday, a week after his fifth Super Bowl win, "I have zero pain. I feel great. I feel 100 percent."
So Brady will enter year 18 with the Patriots next season.
In the NBA, Vince Carter just turned 40, Paul Pierce, Manu Ginobili and Jason Terry are 39 and Dirk Nowitski is still scoring 13 points per game at age 38.
As spring training begins, Bartolo Colon and Ichiro Suzuki are both 43, and Carlos Beltran turns 40 in April and should play most days for the Houston Astros.
