Tom Brady has been my favorite quarterback for some time now. Not only does he shred your defense, but he also gets people fired. That's what happens when he throws for over 500 yards. 4 TD's, and one pick that wasn't his fault.

The stiff arm that
Wes Welker put on
Benny Sapp during a 99-yard touchdown reception might have cost the
Miami Dolphins cornerback more than a tackle Monday night.
The Dolphins released Sapp,
his agent told the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the cornerback was burned for an NFL-record-tying pass play.
Changes can't be considered a surprise after
New England Patriots quarterback
Tom Brady threw for a franchise-record 517 yards and four touchdowns against a Dolphins secondary
that spoke highly of itself during the preseason.
Sapp wasn't the only defender Brady picked on
in the Dolphins' 34-24 loss, but Welker's catch and long run was an embarrassing gaffe that ended any hopes of a Miami comeback.
The Dolphins acquired Sapp, an eighth-year pro, from the
Minnesota Vikings last August in exchange for wide receiver
Greg Camarillo. Sapp was Miami's nickel back last season, and his departure leaves
Nolan Carroll and rookie Jimmy Wilson as the Dolphins' backup cornerbacks.
Starting cornerbacks
Vontae Davis and Sean Smith also were repeatedly beaten by Patriots pass catchers.
