How does Tom Brady do it? It starts with science and ends with something less precise

COMMENTARY

At this point it’s fair to say that Tom Brady’s personal science project is going well. He just celebrated his 42nd birthday with a new two-year contract extension, and he apparently runs faster than he did at 22, his legs limber and alive, which is to say nothing of that ring-heavy throwing arm. In his 20th NFL training camp, he’s so radiant with health that he looks like he’s got spring water for blood and years left.

Clearly, scoffers who called Brady quackish owe him an apology. He was right, and they were wrong.
