Funny you mention this. I well remember seeing Brady sit down to eat by himself at the bar - maybe at DiGuilio's. He spoke not a word, and kept a don't come near me kind of presence.

It's understandable coaches may not want non-stop attention. The attitude doesn't help, though, when years later your job faces the axe.
