rather than a romantic one?
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Halfway through a seven-on-seven red zone passing drill Tuesday morning, New England quarterback Tom Brady unleashed a laser that appeared destined to clang off the goalpost crossbar at the far end of the Patriots' practice field.
Running an inside crossing route from his outside left vantage point, and with just a hair of separation between himself and free safety Eugene Wilson at the back of the end zone, wide receiver Randy Moss propelled himself toward the football with a burst. And just as the Brady aerial reached the apex of its trajectory, it intersected the highest point of Moss' leap, about 18 inches below the crossbar.
And slammed into the Velcro mitts of the newest addition to the Pats' offensive arsenal.
There was, rather incredibly, barely a reaction on the field from players or coaches to the athleticism demonstrated by pitcher and catcher on the play. No whistles. No hoots. Not a single attaboy offered. Brady did, after all, only what has come to be expected now, delivering the pass with surgical precision, and into a small window of opportunity.
I don't need any new beginnings. I've already had two of those. I'm sort of enthused and energized about being here. I like what I see so far.
