Birthday boy: Patriots celebrate Brady turning 39 (The Associated Press)

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- The crowd gathered at New England Patriots training camp broke into the first of several choruses of ''Happy Birthday'' on Wednesday morning.

Tom Brady, who turned 39 Wednesday, waved to the crowd, then went back to work.

Brady, of course, will miss the first four games of the regular season because of his ''Deflategate'' suspension, is allowed to practice right up until the Patriots make their final roster cuts, but then has to be away from the team.

For now, however, it's business as usual as Brady works along with likely replacement Jimmy Garoppolo and rookie Jacoby Brissett.
