Still perfect before the beginningof the end of perfection

I am haunted by this photo of Tom Brady entering the Super Bowl last year. At this point, the Pats were undefeated and on the verge of becoming the greatest team in history with Brady the greatest quarterback.

Of course, David Tyree's miraculous catch short circuited all that even though Brady led his team to a score in what looked like the final drive of the game before Mannng and Tyree and fate took over.

In the span of a game and a quarter, after this picture....Brady has gone from the threshold of perfection to a year ending, perhaps career threatening injury. It was all right around the corner and in this picture it's almost as if Tom can see the catastrophes ahead
