FOXBOROUGH, Mass. http://www.steelersrookiestore.com/ . --?Patriots quarterback Tom Brady told Westwood One radio that he has spent the first week of a four-game NFL suspension by staying in shape, spending time with his family and picking his children up from school, and said he is flattered by the large banner of him that the team placed on the lighthouse at Gillette Stadium.I think it was a very cool gesture by Mr. Kraft and the team, Brady told Jim Gray in an interview leading up to Thursday nights NFL opener. Ill be excited to be back out there in October, when Im there for real, but it was a really cool thing to do, and I was certainly very humbled and flattered to see it.Brady, who again will be a weekly guest on the pregame show with Gray, said he has seen quite a bit of the banner on social media but has yet to see it in person.He laughed during a discussion of remarks made by teammate Julian Edelman, who recently said Bradys suspension was like one of your buddies going to jail.Not quite jail, but I feel like I dont have the opportunity to do something I love to do, Brady told Gray. Thats the hard part about the situation were in. Like I said, Im going to try to be positive about that and spend some quality time with my family and pick my kids up from school and do some things that I wont have the opportunity to do in October, November and December, and hopefully for the years to come. Hopefully I can keep playing football for a long time and I dont have to ever sit out a September for as long as Im playing.Brady also was asked about his helmet not having an NFL decal on it during the two preseason games in which he played, which sparked speculation that perhaps he removed it.No, I didnt, he said. I dont even pay attention to whats on my helmet. I just hope the helmet is functional. Thats all Im trying to get the helmet to be. I dont pay attention to the stickers, or whatever else is on there. I certainly didnt remove anything.Brady also dismissed any thought that there is a rift between him and backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.I think theres obviously a lot of things that are said over the course of a season to try to divide our team, he said. Thats never been what our team has been about. I want all the players on our team to do great. Certainly, Jimmy, I know him really well. Hes really done a great job preparing himself, and Im excited to see how he makes the most of his opportunity.Brady told Gray that he will watch all of the Patriots games, and hopes it makes him a better player.Im a pretty positive person, Brady said. I use all these different situations in my life as learning experiences and Ive certainly learned a lot about myself, about my support system, about the people that care about me, my teammates, my friendships.And I look forward to going out there and playing when I have the opportunity to do it. Sometimes when youre not out there, you gain a different perspective, and you gain maybe more appreciation for what you do. I did have that chance in 2008 under different circumstances when I got injured and had a chance to sit back and watch from afar. Unfortunately Ill be doing that again for these four weeks and hopefully I can gain maybe a deeper perspective and maybe one I couldnt have gained if I was out there playing. Thats what Im looking forward to figuring out.As for his decision not to pursue further legal action against the NFL, which Brady previously addressed, he told Gray, I owe my teammates to be the best that I can be, and to have this divided attention that I had at different points last season was something that didnt really serve me. http://www.steelersrookiestore.com/Steelers-David-Decastro-Jersey/ .
