Tedy Bruschi Told A Story About Tom Brady’s Addiction To Win Championships

Kings of Boston Sports



It is no secret that Tom Brady carried a chip on his shoulder his entire career and prepared to win football games like nobody before him. Brady was absolutely obsessed with winning, and that definitely rubbed off on his teammates throughout his career.

Tedy Bruschi, who played nine seasons with Tom Brady from 2000-08, shared a story about Tom Brady’s addiction to win championships. Despite winning three championships in the span of four seasons, Bruschi said that Brady was not satisfied after defeating the Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX.

“We all made the Pro Bowl together after we beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl. We had just gone back to back,” Bruschi said during a radio spot on “Gresh & Fauria”. “Back in those days, the Pro Bowl was played, and then teams were announced. Representatives were announced, and the last ones in the locker room were the Super Bowl champions.

“We were about to be introduced, and Tom looks to [me] and [Adam] Vinatieri, and [Ryan] Izzo was a Pro Bowl special teamer and I think [Richard] Seymour was there also. He says, ‘Nobody has ever won three in a row.’ … Fellas, I still had confetti on the bottom of my cleats from the celebration in Jacksonville. You love it, but it’s like, ‘Bro, I’m trying to relax right now. We’re all just trying to relax and enjoy this Pro Bowl. We’re about to be introduced as world champions. I’m not there yet.’”

Brady was never able to accomplish that ridiculous feat, but he would go on to win a record 7 Super Bowls in his career.

“That’s just the standard that a lot of us couldn’t uphold,” Bruschi added on Brady’s drive. “It’s the addiction that was Tom Brady winning championships, and multiple championships. That’s all he did it for.”

Many times, throughout his legendary career Brady was asked what his favorite Super Bowl triumph was.

Tom’s response was always the same: “The next one.”
