Brady handled the questions as best he could, but his breakdown of ball preferences sounded just a bit awkward.

Then he reminded everyone that while it may seem like a big deal, this is just sports we are talking about.
"This isn't ISIS," he said. "People aren't dying."
Brady clearly had some fun with the press conference, but not everyone was in a joking mode.
ESPN analyst Mark Brunell, who played quarterback for 19 seasons, got choked up discussing Brady's demeanor.
Super Bowl media day next Tuesday sure will be fun.
