Ah, athletes being human beings just like us, I don’t know why I love it, but I won’t stop.
Three Super Bowl victories have bonded Titans head coach Mike Vrabel and Tom Brady together over nearly two decades and they’d be damned to let a little worthless joint practice get in the way of some long overdue bonding.

Today, Brady upped the ante by bringing in a congratulatory trophy for Vrabel to commemorate the Titans walloping the Patriots in mid-November of last season, 34-10. As a Patriots fan who has seen his team persevere year after year, this loss was the first real time I thought that the dynasty was doomed. I was wrong haha!!
Tom Brady came out to practice this morning and handed @Titans coach Mike Vrabel a small trophy 🏆 with the score of last year’s game on it (Titans 34, @Patriots 10) on it. Old buddies still having a little fun with one another. pic.twitter.com/fYvUawgzk1

Here is a glimpse of Vrabel relishing the condescending award.
A day after Mike Vrabel’s 44th birthday and Patriots rookies sang happy birthday to him, Tom Brady shares a gift.
Per @jwyattsports, the small trophy Brady handed Vrabel had the score of last year’s game — #Titans 34, #Patriots 10 — on it.

Would @TomBrady ever want to coach against @CoachVrabel50? “Hell no!”

Vrabel spoke to the media today and said trash-talking with Brady began on March 15, 2001, the first day the offspring program started, and hasn’t let up since.
