The last time Tom Brady missed a regular season game, he had Bernard Pollard to thank.
Pollard preemptively ended Brady’s season in 2008 when his hit tore the New England Patriots quarterback’s ACL. Now, Brady could sit out for the first time since that injury if his four-game suspension for his alleged role in Deflategate holds up.
Pollard isn’t exactly well-liked in New England and by no means is best buddies with Brady. But when asked for his thoughts on Roger Goodell’s decision to give Brady four games, the free-agent safety sided with the quarterback.
