BRADY PRECISE IN CLOCK MANAGEMENT OFF FIELD, TOO

What time i s Super Bowl LI? Tom Brady knows. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the Patriots quarterback has been counting down the seconds until next Sunday’s showdown with the Falcons in Houston for about a year. Brady, pictured, had a countdown clock installed in his home gym shortly after the Patriots lost to the Broncos in last year’s AFC Championship Game. The clock has ticked down the days, hours, minutes and seconds to Super Bowl LI, so Brady would know “that he had exactly 11,325 minutes and 14 seconds to go,” Brady’s father Tom Sr. told The Washington Post recently. “Tommy doesn’t just play football,” Brady Sr. said. “Tommy is a football player. This is not a July to January or February endeavour for him.”
