It hasn’t exactly been the type of summer normally experienced by the reigning Super Bowl champions.

Instead of basking in the glow of a thrilling victory in Super Bowl XLIX back in February, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots faced scrutiny from the league (and most fans of the 31 other teams) which eventually culminated in a big fine for the team and a four-game suspension for its star quarterback.

Well, by now everyone knows that Brady won his court battle with the NFL and saw his ban overturned, allowing him to take the field in tonight’s season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In his first national one-on-one interview since the “Deflategate” ruling, Brady spoke exclusively with our Jim Gray for the Westwood One pregame show.

Throughout the NFL season, Tom Brady will be a weekly guest on the Monday Night Football pregame show with Westwood One’s Jim Gray. The interview is presented by Macy’s.
