ENTERTAINMENTwww.press-herald.com Tom Brady on Deflategate, Gisele and Trump

NEW YORK — Tom Brady has four Super Bowl rings, is a future Hall of Famer and his New England Patriots are off to a 4-0 start, yet he's still quick to mention his 199th rank in the draft more than a decade ago as motivation for excellence. After the high of winning the Super Bowl, the National Football League tried to sus- pend him for four games over his role in the deflation of game balls in a playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts. Brady, who denied wrongdoing, successfully appealed in time for the start of the season. While it certainly provid- ed more fuel for Brady's critics, he remains one of the most popular athletes in the world, thanks to his golden- boy persona (being married to supermodel Gisele Bund- chen doesn't hurt). The quarterback, who recently signed on as a pitch- man for Tag Heuer with the motto "Don't Break Under Pressure," says it's the past failures that have fueled his success: "These challenging experiences that have been the best things I've ever had to deal with." Brady talked to The Asso- ciated Press this week about why he doesn't let critics get under his skin, his relationship with his wife and his friendship with Republican presidential candidate Don- ald Trump.
