FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Calvin Pace has seen a lot of Tom Brady over the years.
Too much, as far as the New York Jets linebacker is concerned. And, way too many losses to the New England Patriots quarterback.
“Blame Shaun Ellis,” Pace joked on Wednesday. “If Shaun didn’t get that hit on the sideline, they might have somebody else at quarterback. But things happen like that sometimes.”
Actually, it was Mo Lewis who slammed into Drew Bledsoe’s chest during a game in 2001 and injured the Patriots quarterback. In came Brady — and the rest is NFL history.
