Tom Brady uses skiing film review post to scare fans
Tom Brady took to Instagram to share a cheeky yet terrifying post wherein he reviews “game film” of daring ski jumps by himself and Lindsey Vonn.
In what has become a somewhat-funny, somewhat-petrifying annual tradition of sorts, 41-year-old quarterback and perpetual thrill-seeker Tom Brady took to Instragram on Friday to share a video of himself either doing or thinking about doing something reckless during the offseason.
Never mind that the collective pigskin hopes and prayers of an entire region of this beautiful country rest every year on the age-defying shoulders of this man. Brady doesn’t seem to care too much about the rampant anxiety his vacation exploits causes in his fans – if anything, he kind of seems to revel in it.
Whether it’s cliff diving, mountain biking, or in this case – skiing – Brady loves to torment his own adoring Patriots fanbase by sharing videos of his adrenaline-junkie side.
In this particular post, Brady welcomes his over six million followers into what appears to be a film review session. The New England QB is of course famous for his love of studying NFL game tape for hours upon hours, but in this video, we see him analyzing footage of a fateful ski jump he attempted two years ago in Montana – a jump he apparently injured himself in pretty badly after taking to the air out of balance and landing in a crash.
Thankfully it was his left, non-throwing shoulder that took the beating, but it’s still uncomfortable to imagine Brady attempting such a daredevil leap again, especially now that he’s a couple years older. He indicates in the video that he’s been studying footage of Olympic legend Lindsey Vonn making a downhill ski jump, and hopes to replicate her success by finding a “way bigger hill” and attacking it with “way more speed.”

For the sake of everyone in New England and Patriots fans around the globe, we all have to hope that Brady is only kidding. The last thing anyone wants is for their future Hall of Fame quarterback to derail the 2019 season before it ever even gets started… and all because he just wanted a little more air while skiing the powdery slopes of Montana in March.
