Here is a story of a broken paddle after losing a table-tennis match to his wide receiver, Danny Amendola, and his wide receiver’s quote:

“He’s the best teammate. He’s so competitive and what not. I remember one story, it was my first week in the building, he wanted to play some ping ping. I didn’t really know how to go about it. I know I was better than him, I didn’t want to beat him too bad, because I wanted him to throw me the ball.”

“I knew I was better. Needless to say, his competitive nature unleashed a broken paddle by the end of it. It the reason why we love him, and the reason why he’s the best quarterback.”

Tom Brady is as competitive in ping-pong as in football! (courtesy of facebook.com/TomBrady)
