Some non-Belichick news: NESN has decided to eliminate the Patriots beat writer position, so I am now a free agent.
Could not have asked for a better experience in my 11 years at the company and eight seasons on the Patriots beat. Huge thanks to everyone who made that possible,…

If you take out the 2008 ACL year, Tom Brady was a starting QB for 20 seasons. In those, he had more Super Bowl wins (seven) than seasons that ended before the conference championship round (six).
There are a lot of mind-blowing Brady stats, but that's right up near the top.
