Bill Belichick Opens Up About His Favorite Tom Brady Memory With Patriots

Bill Belichick gave a typical and amusing Bill Belichick answer when asked about his favorite moments with Tom Brady in New England.

Belichick and Brady formed the greatest head coach-quarterback duo in NFL history, leading the Patriots to nine AFC Championships and six Super Bowl trophies during their 20-year run together (2000 to 2019).

Asked Bill Belichick about Tom Brady's return, and he flashed a big smile during the question (muted here.)

Brady will be honored before the Patriots kick off their 2023 season at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. During an appearance on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” (h/t CBS Boston), Belichick gave a very Belichick-like answer regarding his favorite moments with Brady:

“Well, there are six of them that come to mind. Can’t say enough about Tom and what he’s meant to this organization, what he’s meant to me personally…

He just epitomized everything you would want in a player – his work ethic, his ability to handle and process a lot of things on and off the field. His critical playmaking ability, instinctiveness and anticipation and decision making at the most critical times in the biggest games in the team’s history not to mention the seasons. For so many years, he set a standard of daily performance which turned into yearly performance which turned into not only a Hall of Fame career, but probably the best career of all time in the National Football League.”

Bill Belichick on Tom Brady returning to Gillette Stadium: "It will be great to see Tom. He's meant so much to this organization, and me personally."

Belichick’s “six of them” comment is obviously a reference to the amount of Lombardi Trophies he won with Brady. New England won three over a four-year span (in the 2001, 2003 and ’04 seasons), before starting up another dynasty with three more in 2014, 2016 and 2018.

Brady was a sixth-round draft choice (199th overall) by the Patriots back in 2000. He had to step in as New England’s starter early in the 2001 season following an injury to starter Drew Bledsoe following a hit from Mo Lewis. And the rest, as they say, is history.

After 20 years in New England, Brady left the Patriots to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady led the club to a Super Bowl 55 championship in his first season there and guided them to consecutive NFC South division titles in 2021 and 2022 before retiring for good.
