MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- Forget that Tom Brady shattered NFL records as a 40-year-old quarterback in the 2017 season, playing some of his best football in his 18-year career.
Brady didn't just dominate the 40-year-old age bracket; his excellence extended across the entire NFL. And on Saturday night, he became the oldest player to win the NFL's Most Valuable Player award.
Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman accepted the MVP on Brady's behalf at the NFL Honors awards ceremony in Minneapolis. The quarterback later posted a message via the Patriots' Twitter account, thanking his teammates, as well as the younger players around the league who continue to inspire him.
Simon Schama, the British historian, recently tweeted: “Indifference about the distinction between truth and lies is the precondition of fascism. When truth perishes so does freedom.”
