1. One of the things that quarterback Tom Brady shared in the aftermath of losing Super Bowl LII was how his kids reacted in a way he hadn’t seen before, which forced him to quickly transition from disappointed player to consoling dad. It put things in perspective, while at the same time allowing him to share a valuable lesson with them: Even though we try our best, no one wins all the time.
They are all back for Super Bowl LIII, and Brady lit up in media interviews over the past week whenever the topic came up.
