In “Thanks Tom,” a video series released this week by The Boston Globe, Tom Brady’s former teammates share stories about the quarterback that are insightful, inspiring, and, sometimes, a little mischievous.

In one video, former Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel tells the story of the time a prank war with Brady went horribly wrong. Cassel, who backed up Brady from 2005 to 2007 before taking over as the starter in 2008 following Brady’s knee injury, says the prank war with Brady began when Brady stuck his foot up against a meeting room door, causing Cassel to spill his lunch.
