Tom Brady is no stranger to the cold, having played two decades in the bitter New England climate and at the college dance in Michigan.
He will probably come face to face with these elements during Sunday’s NFC championship game at Lambeau Field and he has little advice for his weak-blooded teammates.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the New Orleans Saints 30-20 on Sunday to advance to their first league game since 2003. Immediately after the game, Brady explained what the Bucs need to do to prepare for the infamous Green Bay cold.

“You just need to have some mental toughness and wear warm clothes and be ready to go,” he said, via Masslive.com. “It’s cold, man. This is January football in the Northeast, Midwest. We will be ready.”

“I don’t like it when we get to the biggest moments of the season and the biggest moments of our career and now the elements become part of the mix,” he said. “I want the best team to be able to advance, all elements are exactly the same for all teams.”
But Brady seemed to disagree with that opinion.
“The team that plays the best will win,” he said. “It is not the coldest team. We will have to play well. We will be challenged and it will be a great game.”
