About this title

Synopsis

Any kid growing up in the New York area in the 1970's was regaled by their father with stories of Mickey Mantle, the "Mick," a player with the speed of Ty Cobb and the power of Babe Ruth. A player whose likeness had never been seen before and might never be seen again. A legend.

For those of us in Boston, it might have been Yaz or Ted Williams, Teddy Ballgame.

But an entire generation of New England kids are now confronted with a much larger problem... Our poor, helpless children are faced with a childhood where Tom Brady isn't playing quarterback for the New England Patriots every Sunday.

What are we as parents to do?

How are you going to explain to your children the greatness of Tom Brady? How will you possibly paint an accurate picture of the man that forever changed football in New England? Of the most clutch quarterback of all-time? Of God Damn, sweet throwin', defense shreddin' Tom Brady?

Now there's a way... a proven methodology. Follow me into the light wayward parent.

It's time for.... The Tale of Tom.

About the Author

Geoff Roberts grew up in Manchester, New Hampshire at a time when Boston sports teams were best known for losing. After a dominant little league career, he threw out his arm as a teenager and spent the next 20 years quietly weeping to himself while watching every game of Tom Brady's career. He lives in San Diego with his wife, Kelley, and their twin sons Julian and Evan.
