A dual celebration: America's freedom and a mother's strength
For Tom Brady, the Fourth of July is more than barbecues and parades—it's the day his mother was born. Calling it 'one of the most important birthdays,' the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback expressed deep gratitude for Galynn's strength and resilience, especially during her battle with breast cancer.
In his emotional tribute, Brady wrote, 'Happy Birthday, Mom. Thank you for being someone our family could always count on...
Your strength, determination, love, and selflessness know no bounds.'
Galynn was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, a battle she fought with quiet courage and unshakeable spirit. Her presence at Super Bowl LI in 2017, where Brady led a historic comeback, remains one of the most emotionally charged moments in NFL history.
The quarterback added, 'We love you so much, and we're beyond grateful for every moment we get to share with you. Happy Birthday! And happy birthday to America!'
Behind Tom Brady's career was a supportive mom who once hesitated
While Brady is now revered as one of the greatest athletes of all time, his journey to the NFL wasn't always assured.
In fact, Galynn was initially hesitant about her son playing football in high school, concerned about the sport's physical risks. But once she recognized his passion, she stood firmly by his side through every touchdown and trophy.
Raised in a tightly-knit family in San Mateo, California, Brady credits both his parents for instilling the values that shaped his competitive edge. His father, Tom Brady Sr., was known for turning ordinary moments into challenges—something Brady says made the household both fun and fiercely motivating.

Brady's post wasn't just a tribute to his mom—it was a quiet reflection on values like family, sacrifice, and gratitude. In an age where public figures often reserve social media for polished branding, his message struck a deeply human chord. For fans, it served as a powerful reminder: behind the championships and the celebrity image is a man who hasn't forgotten the people who got him there.

NFL players, employees fined for selling Super Bowl tickets: reports
More than 100 NFL players and dozens of club employees are to be fined or suspended for selling their allocations of tickets for this year's Super Bowl on secondary markets, US media reported on Friday. HT Image ESPN reported that players who sold allotted tickets will be fined one-and-a-half times the face value of the tickets sold and be barred from receiving tickets to the next two editions of the Super Bowl. Players amongst those caught will be given the option of purchasing tickets if their team reaches the Super Bowl in 2026 or 2027. Players who decline to pay the fines face being suspended, ESPN cited league and union sources as saying. ESPN quoted an NFL memo sent to teams which said employees and players had sold tickets to "bundlers" working with a ticket resale site. Tickets to the Super Bowl are consistently one of the hottest -- and most expensive -- tickets in North American sport, fetching as much as $10,000 on resale sites. "Our initial investigation has determined that a number of NFL players and coaches, employed by several NFL Clubs, sold Super Bowl tickets for more than the ticket's face value in violation of the policy," NFL chief compliance officer Sabrina Perel wrote in the memo. Perel cited "long-standing league policy" which "prohibits League or club employees, including players, from selling NFL game tickets acquired from their employer for more than the ticket's face value or for an amount greater than the employee originally paid for the ticket, whichever is less." Perel added that the league will enhance mandatory training before Super Bowl LX for all league personnel to emphasize the rules and "the broader principle that no one should profit personally from their NFL affiliation at the expense of our fans." The league, meanwhile, also planned to improve training to avoid a repeat, with the possibility of stiffer sanctions for future offenses. "No one should profit personally from their NFL affiliation at the expense of our fans," Perel wrote in the memo. rcw/js
