How Patriots quarterback great Tom Brady found his Irish roots

Maith an fear thú a Tom! Tá áthas orainn go bhfuil tú an bhrodúil as do dhuchais Gaelach! (Good on ya Tom! We are glad that you're proud of your Irish roots.) I wish you well as you discover much more of your Irish heritage. Is maith sin! (It's great!) I have explored my roots by seriously studying the language of my ancestors. You might enjoy that.

ciardexy if american football is a rubbish sport,why are you all over these posts?You a rubbish collector?

Carrick, Id suspect that Irish people have no interest in American football in general regardless of where they are from in Ireland! Its a rubbish sport.

Murph, its Irish not gaelic.

Thoin-and yes it is kiss my...

How wonderful! This makes me proud of my Irish heritage.

Pog Ma Thorin? (Ah, does that translate into K*ss my a88?) Also, you only mention his Irish roots: does his mother have a different ancestry?

Tom Coughlin coached at Boston College, which we now know is more Irish than either Michigan [Brady's alma mater] or for that matter Notre Dame, so that could be a factor.

Interesting that Brady has Co. Cavan roots, like me. I suspect any distant relations in Co. Cavan of Tom Brady's likely know nothing about North American football but a lot about GAA sports and real football (soccer).

I think Tom Brady should stand up & help SAVE LENNOX!!!

I am a life long Pats fan and saw the first "exhibition" and reg. season game back in 1960...but Tom Coughlin looks exactly like my departed Uncle Tom from Ballahaghderren, Roscommon. So who is more Irish? Can you run a story on Coughlin?? Too lazy to do my own research but I'm betting that Coughlin has closer roots.

He was talking Gaelic-Told him to Pog Ma Thoin
