In all 6, Brady walked off the field at the end of the game with his team in the lead.

I seem to recall that Brady and the Pats were scrambling at the end of XLVI to get down the field at the end of the game. There was a long Hail Mary type pass that went incomplete to end that game, IIRC.

Am I misremembering?
 
I just did a simple exercise with easily accessed information. Took the cap hit numbers from Miguel and the franchise tag numbers from Wiki. From 2008 until today, Tom Brady has left "at least $21 mil on the table. I took the franchise tag number for QB and subtracted TBs cap hit. Arguably, he is better than a franchise tag level QB, top 3 on a year to year basis, but as a frame of reference, it is worth looking at.

I'd be surprised if that image isn't registered. And what you create is automatically copywrite protected even if you haven't filed papers.

When is my work protected?

Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device.

But the factual info isn't. Plenty of TFB images in the public domain. Go to work.

Though how would that copyright work, being that they are already using copyrighted material likely without any permission- Brady, Patriots, logo etc?

Ben Roethlisberger on Tom Brady: "Tom's the greatest in the world. And I mean that."http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/17485967/tom-brady-new-england-patriots-best-quarterback-nfl-ben-roethlisberger-pittsburgh-steelers-says


PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger isn't giving himself the top spot in the NFL's quarterback hierarchy.
That spot belongs to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who starts the season on a four-game suspension over Deflategate.
Roethlisberger served a four-game suspension of his own in 2010 for violation of the league's personal conduct policy, but when asked what advice he'd give Brady for coping for life without football, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback said Brady "doesn't need any advice from anybody."
"Tom's the greatest in the world, and I mean that," Roethlisberger said.
Roethlisberger's comment comes on the heels of former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw saying he'd take Big Ben "ahead of Brady for sure and anybody else."

"He could have been the MVP in the league last year if he would have stayed healthy," Bradshaw told the team's website. "I am not saying this because I am a Steeler and trying to suck up to anybody. I am just telling you he is special, different. I'll take Roethlisberger over any of those guys."
Roethlisberger has long had a healthy respect for Brady, saying before the 2015 season opener in New England that he hoped Brady played in the game. Brady's availability was in question while the legal battle over Deflategate swirled. Brady played for the Patriots in the 28-21 victory against Pittsburgh.
The Patriots and Steelers reunite in Week 7 in Pittsburgh.
In 2015, Roethlisberger led all NFL quarterbacks with 328 passing yards per game and spearheaded the offense's six-game streak of 30 or more points. As a result, the Steelers are a trendy Super Bowl pick in 2016.
Roethlisberger is more worried about beating the Washington Redskins' pass coverage on Monday Night Football.
"I'm a big fan of being the hunter and not the hunted," Roethlisberger said.

Another great article from Yahoo's Dan Wetzel. It's worth the click.

A rookie QB could help Bill Belichick deliver a damning response to deflate-gate punishment

Here's a highlight:

Yet Belichick doesn’t look overly concerned, at least not publicly. Or at least not more concerned than usual. It’s too much to say he’s happy this week, but there is a hint in his expression and language that he’s excited, or at least eager to accept, the latest challenge presented to the juggernaut he has built in Foxborough.

When life gives you lemons you are supposed to make lemonade. Belichick basically says to make them extra sour. The more you throw at him, the better.

The Pats are 2-0 right now, halfway through what has begun to feel like a how-do-you-like-me-now redemption tour for New England. Its coach will never admit satisfaction at steamrolling through Goodell’s punishment … in part because he doesn’t have to. If New England walks out of the Brady suspension 4-0 and with its 39-year-old quarterback’s season shortened, then the victory is obvious.
