Super Bowl hero Tom Brady dreams of playing in China

Cowboy star mentors rookie Switzer

NEW YORK, June 20, (Agencies): New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, a five-time Super Bowl champion on a promotional tour in Asia, says he hopes to play an NFL game in China before his career ends.

The 39-year-old signal caller was set to play a pre-season contest with the Patriots in China in 2007, a year before Beijing hosted the Olympics, but the game against Seattle was canceled by the NFL in order to focus on the debut of regularseason games in London later that year.

Brady, who turns 40 in August before the start of his 18th NFL campaign, posted an Instagram photo of him throwing an American football while on the walkway atop the Great Wall of China.

His trip, for sports clothing maker Under Armour, will include stops in Shanghai on Tuesday and Tokyo on Wednesday, according to ESPN.

Ryan Switzer exchanged a highfive with Dez Bryant, then two more, followed by a shoulder bump and a couple of dance moves with his celebrated Dallas teammate.

The rookie receiver isn’t a typical fourth-round pick cloaked in anonymity. The 5-foot-8 speedster ran with the starters during offseason practices and he cooked up an elaborate handshake with Bryant, who wasn’t the only Cowboys veteran to notice.

Switzer is almost a replica of teammate Cole Beasley, a slot receiver whose stature with the team has grown steadily over five seasons.

The US Supreme Court struck down part of a federal law that bans offensive trademark protection in a ruling that could benefit the Washington Redskins in their legal fight over the team’s controversial nickname.

The justices ruled the 71-yearold trademark law barring disparaging terms infringes on free speech rights.
