Super Bowl 2021: Osi Umenyiora's appearance conjures up bad memory for Tom Brady

It’s been 13 years but Osi Umenyiora can still make Tom Brady flinch.

The former Giants defensive end who was part of a unit that tormented Brady in Super Bowl XLII dropped in on the quarterback’s virtual Super Bowl media day interview on Monday, this time as a working journalist who covers the NFL in the United Kingdom. When Umenyiora was introduced for his question, Brady shuddered.

"My guy!" Brady said, clearly trying to butter him up. "I’m happy I’m not playing you this weekend."

There is one ghost from that Super Bowl who will be there on Sunday, though.
