Ten Super Bowl appearances; an indescribable accomplishment.
On Feb. 7, Tom Brady will be achieving just that, taking part in the “big game” for the first time as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer. His first nine appearances, of course, were with the New England Patriots, having gone 6-3 in those games.
Each loss was a heartbreaker, but the one that may have been the toughest to swallow — the February 2008 defeat at the hands of the Giants when the Pats entered 18-0 — still erks him. At least, according to one of his opponents in that very matchup.
