More from Milloy

In talking with former Patriots safety Lawyer Milloy yesterday, he relayed a funny story about Tom Brady that didn't make it into our story this morning. Milloy and Brady became close when the former was with the Pats, and has seen the quarterback's rise from fourth-string to star.

It was two years after Milloy had signed with Buffalo, and Milloy hadn't hung out with his friend since he had joined the Bills. So the two, along with some other friends and Milloy's former teammates, including Mike Vrabel, decided to meet at the Kentucky Derby.

"We show up at the Derby in a Suburban, and he steps out of the truck. I go to step out and a big hand stops me. It's his security. I was like, what the hell?," Milloy recalled, smiling. "He had two security guys around him, answering questions from the paparazzi, and we had to walk behind him. That's the difference between a good player and superstar status."
