"56 years ago in Browerville, MN… Happy Anniversary to the most incredible parents anyone could ask for," Brady posted on Instagram. "Over the years, you've shown our whole family what it truly means to build a life of love, laughter and faith.
"You've taught us how to support one another, how to grow together, and how to face life's challenges. We're endlessly grateful for everything you've done and continue to do for us. Thank you for being the heart of our family. Here's to 56 amazing years—and many more to come."
Brady's parents certainly have much to be proud of when it comes to their only son, one of their four children. The future Hall of Fame quarterback has seven Super Bowls to his name and three league MVP awards.
That same support has powered Brady's ventures off the field as well. Brady has translated his success on the field into a career in the broadcast booth as Fox NFL's No. 1 color analyst. February marked the end of his first season on the job, concluding with the call for Super Bowl LIX.

An entrepreneur and business owner as well, Brady has parlayed that success in those areas to some pretty notable investments. He backed Colossal Biosciences who recently made a shocking scientific break through after bringing the dire wolf back from extinction.
All these successes have stemmed in some way from the unwavering support from his family. Clearly, he is grateful to have enjoyed such a privilege.

Gift beyond boxing serves Claressa Shields well as G.W.O.A.T.
Claressa Shields says she has a gift beyond boxing. 'Attention has always just kind of came to me,'' Shields told USA TODAY Sports. ' I can go and hide in the corner and people would still find a way to (approach her). People gravitate toward me and it's been that way my entire life.'' On Saturday, July 29, Shields is expected to fight in front of a sellout crowd of 19,000 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, according to Dmitriy Salita, promoter of the 11-fight card with Shields putting her undisputed heavyweight title against Lani Daniels in the main event. It would be the biggest crowd she's fought in front of – and, according to Salita, she has become more than a boxing superstar. He said hip hop icon Rick Ross will be walking her to the ring. 'The Fire Inside,'' a movie about Shields' life and boxing career, was released in December. 'She grew up in Flint, Michigan, which is one of the most challenged places in the United States, and has now reached the pinnacle of sports and reaching the pinnacle of being a celebrity,'' Salita said. 'And I believe that women and men and folks from around communities can connect to it and get inspired by it. And she definitely talks the talk, but she walks the walk faster than she talks the talk.'' Boxing news: Boxing star Claressa Shields joins The Pivot Podcast and shares plans to start a family Walking the walk: Shields, a two-time Olympic gold medal, has won world titles in five divisions and is 16-0 with three knockouts. In 2023, she also became the first woman to win the ESPN award for Best Boxer. Talking the talk: That's recently included comments directed at Laila Ali. Later this week, Shields, the star of Salita Promotions, recently addressed whether they might one day be rivals with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), co-founded by Jake Paul. MVP partnered with Netflix on an all-women's card held in front of sellout crowd of 19,729 on July 11 at Madison Square Garden. 'Hey, they got all those good girls on the roster,'' Shields said of MVP, 'but they don't have the greatest and that's a problem for them.'' Of course, Shields was referring to herself, the self-described G.W.O.A.T. (Greatest Woman Of All-Time). 'I wish them well, but at the end of the day, I've always been a one-woman army and looks like I'm winning the war so far.''

Another Jets QB calamity averted as Justin Fields suffers dislocated toe
Whatever good feelings and optimism the New York Jets and their fans might have had about their new era — with their new brain trust of Coach Aaron Glenn and General Manager Darren Mougey — were put to a severe test Thursday. On only the second day of training camp, quarterback Justin Fields left the practice field riding in a cart after suffering a toe injury on his right foot while participating in a drill. The Jets signed Fields in March to replace Aaron Rodgers after Glenn and Mougey informed Rodgers that his disappointing, injury-marred stay with the franchise would end after two seasons. What a truly Jets-esque beginning to a new era, right? Perhaps not. The Jets said later it was determined after medical evaluation that Fields suffered a dislocated toe. His playing status will be listed as day-to-day, the team said, adding Fields 'avoided serious injury and significant missed time.' Another quarterback calamity may have been averted. Barring another setback, Fields presumably will be in the lineup for their Sept. 7 season opener against, fittingly, Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Meadowlands. 'I don't know the severity of the injury,' Glenn said at an earlier news conference, just after Thursday's practice. 'But I do know it's a toe on his right side. And, listen, we have an outstanding backup in Tyrod [Taylor], who's been in this league for around 14 years. So the leadership that he brings, listen, we're all good.' Glenn spoke at some length about his level of confidence in Taylor. 'If anything does happen to Justin, I don't think there's any drop-off as far as what we're going to do when it comes to play-calling,' Glenn said. 'Very similar when you talk about skill sets. So that was, like, enticing for us. And the leadership ability, things that we heard about him. I played against him before. And you can just tell the players really gravitate to him. When he says something, everybody really listens, even the coaching staff. He's been around this league a long time. He knows what it takes to win.' It's generally not a good sign when a coach professes his faith in the backup QB on Day 2 of training camp. And all of this came against the backdrop of the Jets' lucklessness and extended lack of on-field prosperity. Their 14-season drought without a playoff appearance is the longest current streak among all teams in the NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL and MLB. The Jets have not made the postseason since the 2010 season, when they reached their second straight AFC championship game with Rex Ryan as their coach and Mark Sanchez as their quarterback. They've had nine straight losing seasons. And when hopes were raised with their blockbuster trade for Rodgers in 2023, the four-time MVP promptly suffered a torn Achilles' tendon on his left leg four offensive snaps into his debut. Before becoming a top coaching candidate with his work as defensive coordinator with the Detroit Lions, Glenn played eight seasons as a cornerback for the Jets and was selected to two Pro Bowls while with the team. He played for legendary coach Bill Parcells. He knows the issues and the angst involved. 'I've been there and done that,' Glenn said Thursday. 'And again, I just talked about what we did in Detroit. It becomes a mentality, for the most part. The thing that I have to do is to make sure that I can transition that mentality to everybody else. And I understand how this league is. I understand how social media starts to take over and everybody starts to panic. One thing I would say is we have a number of men in that locker room that wants to win. And we have a number of men in that locker room learning how to win. It's my job to make sure I push that over the edge. And that's my plan.' The Jets just signed wide receiver Garrett Wilson and cornerback Sauce Gardner to four-year contract extensions worth $130 million for Wilson and $120.4 million for Gardner. They are the foundational players of the Jets' rebuilding efforts. The Jets can only hope Fields can be added to that category after being signed in March to a two-year, $40 million deal. He played well in helping the Steelers to a 4-2 start last season before being benched by Coach Mike Tomlin in favor of Russell Wilson. Before that, Fields had an uneven three seasons with the Chicago Bears after being selected 11th overall in the 2021 NFL draft. A toe injury on the right foot of a right-handed quarterback could hinder his passing motion, given that it's his plant foot while throwing. And Fields is a quarterback who utilizes his mobility. So Thursday's injury initially was rather ominous. But maybe, just maybe all will be fine. Now, wouldn't that be a sign that times indeed have changed? 'I understand the outside noise,' Glenn said. 'I understand [what] the fans go through. I understand what you guys [reporters] go through. But it's really early. We have a lot of time. So we're going to focus on that.'
