                  CELEBRATING THE CAREER OF TOM BRADY

  (Mr. AUCHINCLOSS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. AUCHINCLOSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the career 
of Tom Brady.
  As the Congressman for Foxborough, Massachusetts, I represent the 
home of the New England Patriots. For 20 of his 22 seasons in the 
National Football League, Mr. Brady was a Patriot. He brought pride and 
six Super Bowl victories to my district and to the fans of New England.
  Mr. Brady embodies excellence. He is the greatest football player of 
all time, and his final MVP-worthy season is an indication that he was 
still getting better when he retired.
  He won 35 playoff games throughout his career. That is more than 
double the second-place quarterback. Even down by 25 points with little 
more than 15 minutes on the clock in the biggest game, he never gave up 
on his team.
  Indeed, teamwork was Tom Brady's top talent. He elevated others 
through his team-first ethic and his competitive drive. From the sixth 
round to seven Super Bowls, the GOAT was always focused on the team, 
not himself.
  On behalf of two decades of Foxboro Faithful, I thank Tom Brady for 
the memories.
