Super Bowl 2012: Tom Brady Regrets AFC Championship Game Comments
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston reports that Brady has had time to reflect on his postgame comments and now regrets what he said.
I wish I didn’t say it because I didn’t want to take away from what the team had accomplished, and certainly we had accomplished a lot to get to this point in this season, to beat a very good team in the AFC championship, to fight back like we did. We were down in that game. I think we proved how we’re a pretty mentally tough team.
Reiss notes that Brady also went to Patriots owner Robert Kraft following the Championship Game and promised to perform better against the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI. Brady has a reputation as a staunch perfectionist, but he now realizes that his comments may have undermined his team's accomplishments. I'm sure his fans are more than willing to let this one slide.
