Once had a painful, high-speed Rollerblade collision on the Venice Beach boardwalk -- only to discover that the person he wiped out was his current boss, Tony Danza! A pro-Tony mob formed and wanted Toms head.

When Toms father confided in him that he had a bizarre medical issue, the sympathetic son promptly turned it into an episode of "Men Behaving Badly", where Rob Schneiders character begins "lactating" from his nipples. Then Tom flew out his Dad for the taping never telling him what the episode was about (fortunately Tom Sr. shares his sons sense of humor.).

Based the idea for "The Animal" on his Harvard honors thesis entitled "The Human Animal", and a news clipping his wife found about pig-heart transplants.

Recognized the talent of Rachel McAdams from among hundreds of video-taped auditions, and was the first to cast her in a feature film.

Often confused with the NFL superstar quarterback Tom Brady. He frequently gets invited to celebrity fund-raisers where they ask, "are you attending alone or will Gisele be coming with you?"

Was once an intern for Merill Lynch.

Filmed a Shields MRI commercial, with his 5th Super Bowl ring shading Roger Goodell , who infamously suspended him, 5 months before actually receiving it--in a Super Bowl he was expected to lose but miraculously won in the first overtime in Super Bowl history.

It was also the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history; the previous record was a 10 point comeback.

The strict diet he and his wife adheres to consists of plenty of all-natural and whole foods, centering on an extensive list of exclusions: processed foods, sugar (including fruit), refined carbohydrates, gluten, dairy, and mushrooms, also limiting consumption of inflammatory nightshade veggies such as tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes, iodized salt, caffeine, and alcohol. He makes exceptions for ice cream.

Sometimes, getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth is the,hardest part of the day - it all just hurts.

I could talk food all day. I love good food.

Every quarterback can throw a ball; every running back can run; every,receiver is fast; but that mental toughness that you talk about,translates into competitiveness.

Too often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us,not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have,choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to,not accept situations.

The true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.

I play a complicated position in an intensely team-oriented game.

When you have two busy kids running around the house, returning e-mails,is a task, let alone surfing the web.

The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

I think I have a certain respect for people, you know. And I guess a lot,of times I expect that respect to go both ways.

As a part of the NFL, things change every year.

If I have something to say, I want it to be meaningful.

People want to go out and travel around and meet cool people. I could,just go live in Vermont, but is that what I really want?,Nothing surprises me anymore in the NFL.

My wife and I are very affectionate.

Mentally, the only players who survive in the pros are the ones able to,manage all their responsibilities. Everybody struggles in different,ways.

If someone lies, well, you had a choice to trust that person or not. I,think the way my father raised me, well, he trusted everybody. And that,worked for him.

Football is unconditional love.

I just love working hard. I love being part of a team I love working toward a common goal.

I could talk food all day. I love good food.

You need to think outside the box. You need to think differently if you want to sustain what, for me, is my peak performance: the very best that I can achieve as an athlete every day.
