Tom Brady pushed back his customary 8:30 p.m. bedtime on Friday to watch the 1986 film “Top Gun.” He then went a step further, deciding that he would recast the movie, announcing his picks on his Instagram story.
As one would expect of a veteran QB, Brady selected himself for the role of the protagonist, Tom Cruise’s character, “Maverick.” But who would play Maverick’s sidekick, “Goose,” was an unanswered quandary. Perhaps Brady didn’t want to pick favorites.
Several members of the Patriots’ offense were given roles, along with Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels.
