FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Not all stories coming out of the New England Patriots' locker room are hard-hitting, and this one certainly doesn't fall into that category.
Soft-sitting is more like it.
Quarterback Tom Brady has taken some good, old-fashioned ribbing from his teammates since the day a few months ago that he wheeled a padded office chair from the quarterback meeting room and parked it in front of his locker. It's the only one of its kind around.
"That's the king's chair," joked receiver Danny Amendola.
Brady smiled when the topic was brought to his attention earlier this week, pointing to the other chairs throughout the locker room, which are silver metal with a blue padded seat, and have the Patriots logo on the padded part of the seat that supports one's back.
