For the second annual Portland Mercury Pizza Week, more than 30 pizzerias around Portland, Ore. offered special, one-of-a-kind slices to customers all weekend, each for just $2.

On Sunday, however, Scottie's Pizza Parlor in Southeast Portland took the cake-or, rather the pie, with a record breaking masterpiece.

Scottie's broke the world record with a one-day-only "Centouno Formaggio" pizza featuring 101 cheeses. Centuono Formaggio means "101 cheeses" in Italian.

Though the pizza shop had already decided to make a special gut-busting 100-cheese pie for Pizza Week-in homage to the 2014 movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," which features a 99- cheese pizza called the "Novantanove Formaggio"-they went for the record by adding part-skim mozzarella stuffed inside the crust.

"We're big 'Ninja Turtle' fans," explained owner Scottie Riviera to Fox News. "We wanted to do something insane like that, and anything pizza related is up our alley."

After doing a bit of research, Riviera discovered that world champion pizza Johnny DiFrancesco of Australia had already made a 99 cheese pizza inspired by the movie. "We were like, okay, then we need to take it up a notch," said Riviera, who then reached out to his cheese supplier Greg Hessel of Cowbell Cheesemonger-whom he affectionately calls "Greg the Cheese Guy."

The feat of pulling together more than 100 cheeses took months.

"We had to first figure out how much total weight in cheese would be worthwhile for Greg to pull off each block of cheese that he has in the warehouse," explained Riviera. "Based on that, we reverse-engineered the balance and proportion we wanted, to dull any overwhelming funky flavors that we might get having a lot of cheese on pizza."

The final version included whole milk mozzarella, a shredded 55-cheese blend, 36 soft cheeses, and a blend of 9 grated dry cheeses.

"We figured out this balance between using shredded mozzarella and a blend of all the semi-soft low-moisture shredded cheeses, and then taking all the soft cheeses we could get and then blending them with our house made ricotta," said Riviera. "Any hard dry aged cheeses, we grated finely and then sprinkled on top, and then we came up with the idea to add a baked Parmesan crisp, like a light cracker, that we stuck into the ricotta on every slice. It gives it a fun textural element and looked cool."

The final topping to break the record was aged park-skim mozzarella stuffed inside the crust-an added bonus available for one day only.

On Sunday, dozens of pizza patrons waited in line to try the once-in-a-lifetime pie, forming lines out the door, The Oregonian reported.

So, what does a 101-cheese pizza taste like?

On a Reddit "Food Porn" thread devoted entirely to the feat, a brave eater writes, "I tried two slices from two different pies and can say that I tasted different nuances and notes of cheese with every bite (with the lemon ricotta and that parmesan crispie tying the two together)."

"That said, can I honestly say that my palate is sensitive enough to identify and name each of the 100 cheeses that crossed it? Sadly I cannot. However was it incredibly delicious and each bite a journey through the sacred lands of cheesedom?

"Resoundingly yes. 10/10 would eat again."

But Riviera says the goal of the pizza record was never to make something that crazy.

"The goal was to make it taste like a regular slice of cheese pizza," Riviera laughed. "With the first bite, you don't know what to expect, so you can almost mistake it for a regular slice. Then you chew a little more and you start to get a lot of character here: there's things going on, it's almost hard to place."
THIS IS THE BEST CHEESE TO USE ON PIZZA
He continued, "It's like a journey from the tip of the slice. It's crazy and exciting to eat."

The pizzeria's website has a list of all the ingredients, including whole milk mozzarella, Beauford d'ete, Black Betty Gouda, Dulcinea, Charllerhocker, Gruyere, Muenster, Schnebelhorn, Testun di Capra, Rahmtaler, and Raclette di Savoie, Camembert Fermier, Casatica di Buffalo, Mascarpone, Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano.

Riviera has no plans to repeat the feat, but one thing he is passionate about is making sure all his staff receives a living wage.

"We're a small business, so we don't charge an arm and a leg for our pizza, but we pay everybody $15 an hour," the restaurateur explained. "I think living wages are important, especially in Portland, where cost of living is really high. These jobs are way undervalued, but my crew and I work hard to make a really good pizza."

And though Guinness wasn't on hand to verify the record (Riviera said he reached out a couple months ago), Scottie's is pleased with the achievement.

"To their credit, I'm sure that they are inundated with a lot of ridiculous things-oh, I hopped on one foot for three hours straight!-but I submitted an application back in February," explained Riviera.

Riviera hopes that customers and follower might start reaching out to Guinness to help push their application through.

"I got a response (from Guinness) asking a question that I'd already answered, so I responded, and tried to say, 'Can you guys let me know what kind of evidence or proof you need? I waited until the last minute-my wife and I were up until 4 am finishing processing the cheeses-waiting to see if Guinness said we needed a video of every cheese going into the cheese grater."

"It's really frustrating, and I'm following up every few days. This week I'm going to really get on them."

In the meantime, Riviera is taking a well-deserved-though short-break.

Scottie's Instagram account posted a photo of a paper plate inscribed with the words, "We are closed today Monday 4/24 to rest, recover and reset after PIZZA WEEK. We'll be back at it tomorrow 4/25. See you soon, Scottie's Pizza."

Dripping produces thicker clouds of vapor, gives a stronger sensation in the throat and makes flavors taste better, according to a study, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

"This study is the first systematic evaluation of the use of dripping among teens," said Suchitra Krishnan-Sarin, lead author and a professor in the department of psychiatry at the Yale University School of Medicine.

Krishnan-Sarin and her colleagues surveyed teens from eight southeastern Connecticut high schools during spring 2015.

Though some respondents did not answer all the questions, 1,874 students reported having tried an e-cigarette. More than 26% of those who'd tried vaping also reported dripping.

Being male, being white, having tried more tobacco products and using e-cigarettes on a greater number of days over the previous month were the traits likely to beassociated with dripping.

What is dripping?

E-cigarettes heat liquid and turn it into vapor, which a user inhales and then exhales in a large puffy cloud.

The normal process of vaping relies on an e-cig's reservoir and wick, both of which automatically feed liquid to the heating coil within the device, minus any effort or intervention on the part of the user.

Aficionados sometimes prefer to bypass the usual battery-operated process and substitute a more hands-on approach -- essentially an artisanal version of vaping.

"Dripping is a more labor-intensive method of vaping in which the user manually applies a few drops of liquid directly to the exposed heating coil of the e-cig every so many puffs," said Alan Shihadeh, a professor of mechanical engineering and director of the Aerosol Research Laboratory at the American University of Beirut.

Shihadeh, a project leader at the Center for the Study of Tobacco Products of Virginia Commonwealth University, was not involved in the new study.

Along with a better cloud, more flavor and a stronger hit, Shihadeh said, some people prefer dripping because "it allows them to conveniently change from one liquid flavor to another without wasting liquid."

Ray Story, CEO of the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association, an industry group, suspects the number of teens who have tried dripping may not be as high as the study indicates.

"Do we think it's going to become a trend or very popular? No," he said. Story, who was not involved in the study, believes there will always be an extremegroup that uses any product, including e-cigarettes, in alternative ways.

In August, the Food and Drug Administration began regulating all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, prohibiting sales to youths under the age of 18.

Story favors regulation and dislikes the fact that underage teens are vaping. Still, he said that 'it's much better to have them play around with vaping devices versus conventional tobacco," a product he believes is more harmful to health than e-cigarettes.

Toxic emissions

Dripping generates higher heating coil temperatures than conventional use of e-cigarettes -- and this is a safety concern. "Higher temperatures lead to greater emissions of a class of harmful chemicals known as volatile aldehydes," including formaldehyde and acrolein, Shihadeh said.

According to Dr. David Carpenter, director of the University at Albany's School of Public Health, both formaldehyde and acrolein are known to cause cancer in humans. Carpenter is unaffiliated with the new study.

These chemicals are also associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a progressive disease that makes it difficult to breathe.

In an unrelated study last year, Shihadeh and his colleagues approximated realistic dripping scenarios under laboratory conditions and then measured temperatures and emissions. "The aldehyde emissions were much greater than what we measured using conventional e-cigs," he said.

More important, as puffing progresses and liquid is consumed, the temperatures and emissions rise "drastically," Shihadeh said. Users believe they can detect when conditions have shifted by a change in flavor, he explained, but by the time they "taste the difference, they very likely have already been exposed to much higher levels of these toxicants" than would have happened under conventional e-cig use.

According to Krishnan-Sarin, "Emerging data is also showing that e-cigarettes contain many other chemicals like propylene glycol and glycerine, and they also contain a lot of flavor chemicals. Now, all of these are volatile, and when they are heated at high temperatures like we see with dripping, you could produce high levels of carcinogenic compounds.

"If the e-liquid is vaporized at a high temperature, you could get a big shot of nicotine," Krishnan-Sarin said.

However, inhaling toxic chemicals is not the only safety risk.

"Handling liquid so often, there is a greater risk of incidental skin contact," Shihadeh said. E-cigarette liquids typically contain nicotine, which is absorbed rapidly through human skin.

If enough liquid is spilled, then, a vaper could be exposed to toxic levels of nicotine. Shihadeh also suggested young children might be hurt by spilled liquid. An analysis of callsto the National Poison Data System estimated that more than seven young children accidentally ingest e-liquids left within reach in households each day.

Revisiting the past

"The other thing is, nicotine is addictive," Carpenter said. "What I'm primarily concerned about is, they've become so popular with the kids, and they're going to be just as addictive as cigarettes."

Their popularity among teens is no longer in question. A December report from Surgeon General Vivek Murthy found e-cigarettes are now "the most commonly used form of tobacco among youth in the United States, surpassing conventional tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco and hookahs." In fact, use of e-cigarettes among high school students increased by 900% from 2011 to 2015, according to the report.

Carpenter worries about the possibility of addiction because the devices are promoted as being safer than conventional cigarettes. Many people, though, do not understand that the fun-flavored liquids -- including "mango" and "bubble gum" -- often contain nicotine. Since nicotine levels also vary from formulation to formulation, users may unknowingly develop a strong need to vape more frequently.

Though it is true that e-cigarettes lack many of the toxic chemicals contained in regular cigarettes, said Carpenter, they have instead "all these added things: these flavorings, these other chemicals." E-cigarettes are unknown territory when it comes to human health, he said.

Krishnan-Sarin agrees: "What I always tell parents is that we know very little, I think, about the short and long-term effects of e-cigarettes."

Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration identified 134 incidents of e-cigarette batteries overheating, catching fire or exploding in the United States during a seven-year period ending in January 2016.

In light of the many health concerns, the FDA announced last year that it would regulate e-cigarettes the same way it regulates traditional cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.

This spring, the agency's Center for Tobacco Products will host a workshop in April to "gather information and stimulate discussion" about e-cigarette battery safety concerns.

Currently, a public docket is open to anyone who wishes to comment on the topic.

Beyond dripping is another alternative use of e-cigarettes that is of concern to Krishnan-Sarin: smoke tricks.

"You can inhale the vapor or the aerosol, and then you blow it out of your mouth or nose, and you create all different kinds of shapes," she said. "People create dragons and volcanoes and little hearts." Vape fests and competitions are devoted to smoke tricks, which are becoming enormously popular.

"More study is needed," said Krishnan-Sarin. "We can't just assume e-cigarettes are being used the way everybody thinks they're being used."

5-year-old Florida girl dies in accidental shooting

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 5-year-old girl was fatally shot and her 4-year-old neighbor wounded in an accidental shooting in north Florida by the girl's brother, authorities said Sunday.

The children were alone in a Jacksonville apartment when the shooting occurred Saturday, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Chief Chris Butler said.

Butler said the girl's 8-year-old brother fired a single shot from a gun, fatally wounding his younger sister and wounding the 4-year-old boy with a non-life-threatening injury. Emergency personnel tried to save the girl but were unsuccessful.

"We believe, in the absence of any other information being developed, that unfortunately this is a tragic, unfortunate accidental shooting," Butler told The Florida Times-Union. He added that the mother of the girl had left to go to a store at the time.

Police said 34-year-old Maurice Antonio Mobley, the mother's boyfriend, was arrested after he turned himself in and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Sheriff's office spokesman Officer Christian Hancock said in a news release that police believe Mobley brought the gun into the house.

It wasn't immediately known if Mobley had an attorney.

Butler said a therapist was called to help the boy who fired the shot. A sheriff's statement added that the Florida Department of Children and Families and the state attorney's office were also being consulted.

Tom brady Is the best QB to every play

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two years ago, after Tom Brady won the Super Bowl MVP award, he gifted the Chevy truck that comes along with the honor to then-rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler, who made the game-sealing interception.

On Monday morning, Brady mused that he may be making another gift.

This time the recipient will be third-year running back James White, who caught a Super Bowl-record 14 passes and scored three touchdowns, including the game-winner in overtime.
[Yahoo Store: Get your New England Patriots championship gear right here!]

"I think James White deserves it; it would be nice for him," Brady said at his MVP press conference - at which he gamely smiled and posed with NFL commissioner/personal nemesis Roger Goodell when handed the large silver football MVP trophy. "But it took a real team effort; there were so many plays. I got back to my room last night and it was pretty late and I was still pretty wired, so I watched the highlights and you go through the sequence of all those plays and how many critical plays that had to be made... It was just a great team performance. I'm so proud of this team, we faced a lot of adversity over the year and overcame with a lot of mental toughness."

White, a fourth-round pick out of Wisconsin in 2014, was not active for the playoffs his rookie season, and was active for only three regular season games that year. While the Patriots quickly realized how smart and versatile he was, the role of third-down back also requires the player be a staunch pass protector, and at the time he was drafted, White wasn't quite strong enough.

But with Shane Vereen, one of the stars of Super Bowl XLIX, signing with the New York Giants after that season and ascending back Dion Lewis missing the second half of the season to a torn ACL, White was thrust into that third-down role.

And according to Brady, he took the job very seriously.

"James White is like my oldest son (Jack) - he just does everything right," Brady said. "You can't get mad at him because even if he doesn't make the play, he feels worse about it than you do. He's just the best teammate, he's an incredible player, and he's been that way since he assumed that big role when Dion went down last year.

"That particular role in our offense, in the Kevin Faulk mold, in the Danny Woodhead mold, in the Shane Vereen mold, what Dion and what James have done has been incredible for our offense because they're tough matchups. Not only can they run and not only can they catch, but they pass-protect too. They're so well coached by [Patriots running backs coach] Ivan Fears, who's such a great coach for our team and he always has them prepared."

Some other highlights from Brady's comments:

On his mother, Galynn, who has been battling cancer for 18 months, undergoing chemo and radiation, but was given the green light to travel to the game; Brady dedicated the win to her: "It was great...She's been through a lot. Way harder than what I went through last night, way harder than what we went through as a team last night. My dad's been there every step of the way. They set such a great example for me and you know, all families go through challenging time, but she has a lot of support and a lot of love and I was just happy last night to be able to celebrate with her...it was really great."

(Brady became emotional every time the subject of his family came up last week, and even on Monday morning, as soon as he heard the question about his mother and her health, he nervously began drumming his fingers on the lectern, his voice catching in his throat as he began to answer.)

On Julian Edelman's fourth-quarter catch: "That was a ridiculous play. We've had a few catches like that go against us [in past Super Bowls], so it was nice for one to go for us at a big moment. I still don't know how he came up with it, but he did."

On New England's five Super Bowl wins all being decided in the closing moments: "They have all come down to the end, and that's OK, as long as you win."

Martellus Bennett skipping White House visit: 'I'm not going to go'

Martellus Bennett told reporters following the New England Patriots' historic Super Bowl win Sunday that he will not accompany his teammates to the White House, where they are set to be honored by President Donald Trump later this year.

"I haven't thought about it. I am not going to go," the New England Patriots tight end said. "I can elaborate later on in life; right now I am just trying to enjoy this ... People know how I feel about it, just follow me on Twitter."

"I haven't thought about it. I am not going to go," the New England Patriots tight end said. "I can elaborate later on in life; right now I am just trying to enjoy this ... People know how I feel about it, just follow me on Twitter."

Bennett added that he is "not really worried" about potential backlash over skipping the White House visit from the team's owner, Robert Kraft, and said that he and his teammates avoid talking politics in the locker room.

"You just don't bring that to work. We all have our beliefs. We accept people for who they are," he said.

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment and have not yet received a response.

Bennett is an outspoken supporter of the "Black Lives Matter" movement and has slammed Kanye West for meeting with Trump in December.

So Kanye didn't take the time to vote. And now he holding on to Trump's coattail like Peter Pettigrew to Lord Voldemort. Kanye Pettigrew
- Martellus Bennett (@MartysaurusRex) December 15, 2016

"So Kanye didn't take the time to vote. And now he holding on to Trump's coattail like Peter Pettigrew to Lord Voldemort. Kanye Pettigrew," Bennett tweeted.

After San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat during the national anthem to protest racism in America in September, Bennett participated in a similar protest on the field, raising his fist with fellow teammate Devin McCourty during the national anthem at a September game.

Fist-raising is a symbol of solidarity and a symbol of the black power movement that dates back to the Black Panthers in the 60s and 70s.

The Patriots have been linked to Trump due to the President's friendship with quarterback Tom Brady, who faced controversy during the 2016 election when a "Make America Great Again" hat was spotted in his locker in September.

Brady has been evasive when asked about Trump and has kept his comments on the issue non-political.

Trump announced a day before the general election that Brady and the team's coach Bill Belichick are supporting his campaign for president.

But the football star's wife, model Gisele Bundchen, bluntly denied those reports in a social media exchange.

"Gisele I head you and Tom were backing Trump! Is that true?" a Instagram user asked.

"NO!" Bundchen responded.

However, following Trump's win, the President said at a pre-inaugural dinner that Brady and Patriots owner Robert Kraft called to congratulate him.

While he did not deny it, Brady played down the claim during an interview, saying, "I call a lot of people."

"I have called him, yes, in the past," he said. "Sometimes he calls me. Sometimes I call him. But, again, that's been someone I've known. I always try to keep it in context because for 16 years you know someone before maybe he was in the position that he was in. He's been very supportive of me for a long time. It's just a friendship. I have a lot of friends. I call a lot of people."

Tom Brady was named super bowl MVP

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On Sunday evening, Tom Brady cemented his legend as the greatest of all-time.

The Patriots quarterback brought New England all the way back from a second-half 25-point deficit, leading New England to an improbable 34-28 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI.

Leader of the largest comeback in Super Bowl history, Brady was named the game's Most Valuable Player once again, his fourth such honor. With the win, Brady is the winningest quarterback in Super Bowl history with five championships, breaking his boyhood hero Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw's record.

Brady bounced back from a poor first half, during which he threw his first postseason pick-six, to lead New England on four second-half scoring drives, including two TD marches in the fourth quarter.

Explaining the methodical comeback after the game, Brady was at a loss for words.

"I wasn't thinking much," the Super Bowl MVP said. "I was thinking, We just got to score. And then, we scored the touchdown, it was nine. And then, we get the turnover.

"There was a lot of s--- that happened tonight. I got hit pretty hard."

After the Patriots won the overtime coin toss, Brady led a game-winning, eight-play drive, capped by a two-yard James White score. The assured march to glory was Brady's fifth game-winning drive in five Super Bowl wins.

To boot, the Patriots legend set Super Bowl records with 466 passing yards, 43 completions and 62 attempts.

Of Brady's five Super Bowl victories and four MVP performances, you would be hard-pressed to argue any was more important or significant than this one.

Brady was suspended four games by the NFL last year after a league-commissioned investigation found it was "more probable than not" that he was "generally aware" of team staff deflating footballs prior to the 2014 AFC Championship Game. Brady put up a career-best TD-INT ratio and lost just one game on the year, a midseason home defeat to the Seahawks.

The stakes of Brady's amazing 2016 season were amplified even more during Super Bowl week when he divulged that his mother had been battling an illness and that his father hadn't been to a game all season.

Brady said ahead of Sunday's magical night that he was dedicating this Super Bowl to his mother. After the victory, an emotional Brady let the season, the strife, everything all out.

"They're all happy," Brady told FOX's Terry Bradshaw during the on-field celebration after the game. "It's nice to have everybody here and it's going to be a great celebration tonight.

"Thank you to all our fans. Everyone back in Boston, New England, we love you. You've been with us all year. We're bringing this sucker home!"

The Texas Rangers are joining the search for the jersey worn by New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady in last night's historic Super Bowl game.

Add Super Bowl as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Super Bowl news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

Brady's jersey was allegedly stolen from the Patriots locker room after the Super Bowl in Houston, according to a statement from Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who said he asked the Texas Rangers to help the Houston Police look for it.

"Tom Brady's jersey has great historical value and is already being called 'the most valuable NFL collectible ever," Patrick said in a statement. "It will likely go into the Hall of Fame one day. It is important that history does not record that it was stolen in Texas. I've called Colonel Steve McCraw to ask that the Texas Rangers work with the Houston Police Department on this case."

"I'm a Texans and Cowboys fan first," Patrick said, "but the unquestionable success of the Super Bowl in Houston last night was a big win for our entire state and I don't want anything to mar that victory. Whoever took this jersey should turn it in. The Texas Rangers are on the trail."

The intrigue surrounding Brady's missing jersey began last night after the Patriots' historic win, when Brady was seen on video telling Patriots owner Robert Kraft that his game jersey was stolen.

The Patriots said Brady's jersey and pads were taken off the field before the trophy ceremony Sunday night, Boston station FOX25 reported Monday morning; it appears the jersey disappeared at some point after that. This clarified an earlier Fox25 report that a team equipment manager had locked the jersey up.

This morning, Brady told reporters he is still missing the jersey, saying he put it in his bag Sunday night and later it was gone.

"If it shows up on eBay somewhere, someone let me know," Brady said this morning.

"It's unfortunate, because that's a nice piece of memorabilia," Brady said. "Those are pretty special ones to keep ... What can you do? I'll take the ring and that's good enough for me."

Brady, who was named Most Valuable Player of the Super Bowl for the fourth time, accepted the MVP trophy from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell with smiles at the press conference this morning.

Goodell had suspended Brady for the first four games of the 2016 season for his alleged involvement in the deflation of footballs during the 2015 AFC championship game.

Last night marked the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history as the Patriots erased a 25-point deficit, beating the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in overtime. It was also a record fifth Super Bowl win for Brady.

Brady said at a press conference this morning of the Falcons, "I give them a lot of credit. They're a great football team."

"It took a lot of great plays for us to overcome the deficit and the hole that we dug. But we were able to do it," Brady said.

Brady said the Patriots "faced a lot of adversities" this year and he called their stunning victory a "great way to really culminate the season."

"It took a kind of miraculous effort to do it," he said, adding that he's "happy that we were able to get it accomplished."

Brady said "it was great" to celebrate at the Super Bowl with his mother, who has been ill and missed all of this season's games.

"She's been through a lot. Way harder than what I went through last night ... and my dad's been there every step of the way. They set such a great example for me," Brady said.

Now that the big game is over, Brady said he's looking to spending time with his children, who he said will be happy to see the trophy.

NJ Girl Who Sued For Right To Play On Boys’ Basketball Team Expelled From School

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
KENILWORTH, N.J. (CBSNewYork) - A New Jersey girl who sued for the right to play on the boys' basketball team at her middle school school has been expelled.

Twelve-year-old Sydney Phillips is not welcome at St. Theresa's School in Kenilworth, her father told reporters Wednesday.

The Archdiocese of Newark also expelled Sydney's younger sister, Kaitlyn.

The shocking news came on the same day Sydney was invited to practice with players from the New York Liberty at Madison Square Garden. Scott Phillips waited until the event was over to break the news, telling reporters he didn't want to ruin his daughter's special day, WCBS 880's Marla Diamond reported.

The family sued for Sydney's right to play after St. Theresa's cancelled the girls' basketball program. Her father previously said they went to the school for options and ultimately requested she play on the eighth grade boys' team, but the school said "no way."

A judge sided with the archdiocese.

The Phillips family is appealing the ruling.

Scott Phillips tells NJ.com he believes his daughters were expelled because of the ongoing legal battle.

A spokesman for the archdiocese would not explain the reason for the expulsion, saying they don't comment on individual school matters.

Patriots won the Superbowl. Tom Brady is the MVP

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Feb 6, 2017

Ian O'ConnorESPN Senior Writer

HOUSTON -- Tom Brady had just proven himself to be the greatest football player of all time, never mind the greatest quarterback, and yet he was angry. Red hot. He was wearing a sweat-soaked Super Bowl-champion T-shirt at his locker, and he was acting as if someone had just swiped his New England Patriots jersey.

In fact, someone had just swiped his iconic No. 12, or so it appeared.

"Did anyone see it?" he asked teammates, equipment guys, staffers, even reporters.

The Falcons jumped out to a big lead in Super Bowl LI, but the Patriots stormed back with one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history. Here's everything you need to know.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady played Super Bowl LI for his mom -- and did so in epic form.

Goats, the GOAT, the mood swings of Arthur Blank, the biggest play and the best tweets of the night and now you see Roger Goodell, now you don't.

Brady's head was on a swivel, and his eyes were turning more urgent by the second. He looked downfield, upfield, into the flat, but the jersey was nowhere to be found.

"I absolutely, 100 percent put it in my bag," Brady said. He bent over and searched through the open bag at his feet, rummaging through his gear like you wouldn't believe.

"Did someone take my jersey?" he asked again, growing more alarmed and impatient.

"Someone took it, E," he said to a locker room guy who looked liked someone you would call "E."

People all over the room were trying to persuade Brady to forget the damn jersey and remember that he'd just delivered the most remarkable comeback victory in Super Bowl history. The Atlanta Falcons were up 25 points late in the third quarter, and all Brady did was send the game into overtime by leading his team on two eight-point drives (including one that covered 91 yards) in the fourth quarter.

All Brady did was throw a pass to Julian Edelman, who made a catch that reduced David Tyree's immaculate reception from nine years ago to a 4-yard out pattern. All Brady did was lord over the winning 75-yard drive in overtime, set all kinds of records and become the first quarterback to earn a fifth Super Bowl ring. All Brady did was claim his fourth Super Bowl MVP award in a forever 34-28 victory.

But the man is a hopeless perfectionist, and someone had violated his perfect scene in the perfect locker room by making off with that jersey.

"If anyone sees it on eBay ..." Brady said after finally cracking a thin smile. He pointed again to his bag on the floor. "It was right in here."

He unwrapped the tape from around his legs, and he pulled off his big red Under Armour shoes before heading to the showers. But before he made his getaway, Brady had lost himself in a hug with Willie McGinest, the star linebacker and defensive end from the early dynasty years. The quarterback called McGinest "big brother," and as Brady made his way to his locker he said, "What a day."

A voice shouted, "Make room for the GOAT," and Brady said, "No, no, no." He hates being called that, even if he knows it's true. Brian Flores, the Patriots' linebackers coach, pushed through a circle of reporters and wrapped his arms around Brady. "Never a doubt," the quarterback said. Flores said he'd told people when the Falcons were winning big, "We've got Tom Brady. We're going to be all right."

Patriots owner Robert Kraft told a similar tale. After he hugged Brady and planted a kiss on his cheek, Kraft relayed a conversation he had with his son Jonathan, the team president.

"I looked over at Jonathan, and it was the middle of the third quarter," Kraft said. "I said, 'Do you think Tommy has given up?' No effin' way, we both said."

Kraft then spoke to his quarterback's source of motivation. In the lead-up to Super Bowl LI, Brady had finally opened up his heart and soul to America and became more relatable, more touchable, more like one of us.

He cried when he called his dad his hero. He posted an Instagram photo of the Brady men kissing Tom's ill mother, Galynn. The quarterback said he wanted to beat the Falcons for her, too. No longer was Brady the superstar quarterback with the supermodel wife who kept all of his inner thoughts locked behind the gated walls he erected around his news conference podiums. He was just another good son who desperately wanted his parents to be happy, healthy and very much a part of his life.

But suddenly the Falcons were running the Patriots out of the building, and Brady could be seen doubled over on the bench, locked in a state of disbelief. "I knew how emotional he was when he was down the way it was," Kraft said, "and we had talked at his locker before that.

"This was the first game his mother had been at, and she's been going through a lot. He said, 'Let's win one for her,' and I was thinking when we were down, when it was 28-3, how he must have felt."

Brady had tried to find Galynn in the stands before the game, but couldn't spot her in the sea of Patriots fans waving at him. His father, Tom Sr., was attending only his second game of the season, a personal-low for him. Brady's dad was too busy tending to Galynn's health issues to worry too much about football. "It's been a challenging year for my family," their son had said. In the end, those challenges fueled him far more than Deflategate ever could.

Tom Brady reminded everyone Sunday night, and all season, that love is a much better source of inspiration than hate. When the franchise player returned from his four-game suspension to start the season, everyone assumed he'd be motivated by rage. One of his best friends, a former Michigan teammate and NFL tight end, Aaron Shea, told ESPN.com that the league's sanction "hurt Tommy a lot more than he'll let anyone know. We barely talked about the details other than a lot of F-bombs going back and forth. ... I want him to stick it to Roger Goodell so bad."

Shea described Brady "as angry" and said the commissioner had "pissed off the GOAT." The quarterback then went out and picked apart the Cleveland Browns on his way to a 28-touchdown, two-interception season that had witnesses leaguewide shaking their heads. He was 39 years old, and playing the best football of his life. The storyline was simple: Goodell had lit his fire just like Lloyd Carr had lit his at Michigan, and just like NFL personnel guys had lit his by allowing him to last until the 199th pick of the 2000 draft.

No, this season wasn't about revenge after all. It was about giving his mother the gift of watching her boy play a game like no man had ever played it. Even Brady's childhood idol, Joe Montana, couldn't build a credible case that Tom Terrific isn't the best quarterback of all. That conversation is dead and buried. The only argument worth having is the one involving the NFL's greatest player, and Brady beats Jim Brown, Lawrence Taylor and Jerry Rice on that front, too.

At 39, Brown was already 10 years and 18 movies into his Hollywood career; he was filming "Take a Hard Ride" in the Canary Islands. LT was already five years into his retirement. Rice was still playing at a high level at 39, but his standing as a dynasty-maker in San Francisco was slightly diminished by the fact Montana's 49ers had won two Super Bowls before Rice was drafted.

The quarterback is everything in the NFL, and Brady has more seasons to play and more titles to win. If you know Brady, you know he doesn't want to end up in a five-rings tie with the likes of Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Derek Jeter. He wants to match Michael Jordan with No. 6, and then some.

Brady put himself in position Sunday night with the performance of his life. He overcame the brutal pick-six in the second quarter that gave Atlanta a 21-0 lead, and he overcame the five sacks and the consistent pounding he took from the Falcons' front line. New England fans chanted Brady's name, and he finished a season he started on the suspended list -- and playing catch with his wife Gisele -- by taking his partnership with Bill Belichick to a place no quarterback-coach partnership has been in the Super Bowl era.

Brady completed 43 of 62 passes for two touchdowns and a record 466 yards and knelt on the field in prayer after James White ended it in overtime. Belichick and LeGarrette Blount were among the Patriots who embraced him as the confetti fell.

"It was a hell of a football game," Brady said.

Before he went on a mad search for his lost jersey ( which is still missing) in the locker room, Brady said he didn't get to spend much quality postgame time with his mom, who was wearing a bandanna around her head after undergoing radiation treatments and chemotherapy. That was OK. Galynn Brady had just watched her own flesh and blood, the best NFL player ever, pull off the ultimate miracle in his miraculous career.

Mother's Day had arrived three months early at the Super Bowl, and for a Brady bunch that had endured a long and cruel year, that was plenty good enough.

Edelman made a crazy catch yesterday and it turned the game around. But the falcons deserved to win it most

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"It was one of the greatest catches I've ever seen," quarterback Tom Brady said. "I don't know how the hell he caught it."

It's a play that will be on highlight reels for years to come. It was 1st-and-10 from New England's own 36, and the Patriots wide receiver, fighting off three Atlanta Falcons defenders -- even going through the legs of one of them -- somehow scooped up the ball before it hit the ground.

Atlanta challenged the pass completion ruling, but Edelman felt like he had it.

"I knew I had a good feel on it," Edelman said. "I didn't know if a piece of the ball was touching. I don't know what the dang rule is. No one knows what the rule is. I am pretty sure I caught it."

Replays confirmed the call on the field. It was a catch, a catch that will forever live in Super Bowl lore.

Four plays later, New England scored, tying the game at 28 and forcing overtime.

"If we didn't have it, we wouldn't be where we are," Patriots tackle Nate Solder said. "That was a crazy catch by Edelman. In real time you couldn't even tell what happened, but when you saw the replay, it was unbelievable. It kind of rolled our way today."

New England has been on the wrong end of spectacular plays. One of the most iconic happened in Super Bowl XLII in 2008, when New York Giants wide receiver David Tyree made a leaping catch on a deep throw from a scrambling Eli Manning. Tyree pinned the ball to his helmet to help set up the upset against the Patriots, who were trying to become the first team to go 19-0.

"Oh man, we were going crazy (on the sideline)," Patriots safety Duron Harmon said of Edelman's grab on Sunday night. "It was great to get a crazy catch to go our way, you know? We're usually on the other end of that -- some type of miraculous catch."

When asked if it was his best catch ever: "I don't know," Edelman said. "It was only good if we won the game. Thankfully we did."

Here's what other Patriots players are saying about the catch:

Running back James White: "I was actually right in front of him when he caught it. I was pretty sure he caught it. It was a big play in the game. It seems like there is one of those catches in every Super Bowl. I'm just glad it went our way this time."

Wide receiver Chris Hogan: "I was outside running an under route. I saw Tom throw it up. Jules made an amazing play. I mean, I thought he caught it watching it live. That was incredible."

Wide receiver Danny Amendola: "Unbelievable. It was an awesome catch. I don't know how he did it. Catch of the night!"

Linebacker Dont'a Hightower: "That is the best catch that I've ever seen in person, hands down. I thought, I couldn't even tell, 'Did he catch that?' Incredible, man. Really incredible."

Defensive lineman Trey Flowers: "That unbelievable catch, right before the overtime, and I just knew if we go into overtime, we're going to win, we're the champs."

Running back LeGarrette Blount: "I've never seen anything like that. That was probably something that will be one of the top 10 plays in Super Bowl history."

Linebacker Rob Ninkovich: "Wow, that was an amazing catch. Just the concentration, everything about it. He did a great job to get his hands underneath it, and it was an amazing play."

Defensive back Devin McCourty: "It was about time we got one of those crazy catches for ourselves. He put that behind the catch that (Falcons wide receiver) Julio (Jones) had on the sideline (earlier in the game) -- two great catches. I said on the field to Logan (Ryan), 'Why aren't all these crazy catches happening to us?' And then once Jules caught it, I turned around and said, 'Finally, we got one.'"

Defensive end Chris Long: "A funny thing, the first thing that popped in my head was Tyree. As a fan of the game and watching as a football player, that magic kind of reversed. Julian is such a great player, that's where hard work and focus meets luck. We deserved that luck."

More that 100 people were killed in a avalanche in Pakistan and Afghanistan

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The death toll is expected to rise as rescuers reach isolated regions where it's feared more people are trapped beneath the snow.

Most of the casualties occurred in Afghanistan, where at least 143 have been killed and 103 are reported injured and 300 civilian homes have been destroyed, said Omar Mohammadi, a spokesman for the National Disaster Management Authority.

Mohamaddi said that most of the victims were women and children, and that deaths were reported in the provinces of eastern Nuristan, northern Parwan, Sar-e-Pul, Badakhshan and eastern Wardak.

At least 50 were killed in the Barg-e-Matal district of Nuristan province -- to the north of Kabul -- where unrelenting snow has buried villages and closed roads to rescue workers.

Across the border, in Pakistan, an avalanche rocked the district of Chitral late Saturday, when most were asleep. In the high-altitude Garam Chashma area, 13 have been confirmed dead and 19 have been injured, said Shahab Ahmed, the district coordination officer of Chitral.

The dead in Garam Chashma include four women, four children and one man, Ahmed said. The devastating wave of pounding snow and ice left 19 houses in the area damaged.

The Pakistani government extended sympathies to the families of victims.

Ahmed said that at least one soldier was killed in Chitral after snow hit a guard post in a separate avalanche, and six soldiers were injured after the incident.

Chitral is in Pakistan's disaster-prone Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where flash floods killed at least 47 people and left 37 others injured in April.

Sheena Ayub Khan, spokesperson for the province's disaster management authority, told CNN that evacuation efforts are underway.

Another snowstorm is expected to lash the border area again on Friday.

1 in 4 teens uses e cigarettes for dripping.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Dripping produces thicker clouds of vapor, gives a stronger sensation in the throat and makes flavors taste better, according to a study, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

"This study is the first systematic evaluation of the use of dripping among teens," said Suchitra Krishnan-Sarin, lead author and a professor in the department of psychiatry at the Yale University School of Medicine.

Krishnan-Sarin and her colleagues surveyed teens from eight southeastern Connecticut high schools during spring 2015.

Though some respondents did not answer all the questions, 1,874 students reported having tried an e-cigarette. More than 26% of those who'd tried vaping also reported dripping.

Being male, being white, having tried more tobacco products and using e-cigarettes on a greater number of days over the previous month were the traits likely to beassociated with dripping.

What is dripping?

E-cigarettes heat liquid and turn it into vapor, which a user inhales and then exhales in a large puffy cloud.

The normal process of vaping relies on an e-cig's reservoir and wick, both of which automatically feed liquid to the heating coil within the device, minus any effort or intervention on the part of the user.

Aficionados sometimes prefer to bypass the usual battery-operated process and substitute a more hands-on approach -- essentially an artisanal version of vaping.

"Dripping is a more labor-intensive method of vaping in which the user manually applies a few drops of liquid directly to the exposed heating coil of the e-cig every so many puffs," said Alan Shihadeh, a professor of mechanical engineering and director of the Aerosol Research Laboratory at the American University of Beirut.

Shihadeh, a project leader at the Center for the Study of Tobacco Products of Virginia Commonwealth University, was not involved in the new study.

Along with a better cloud, more flavor and a stronger hit, Shihadeh said, some people prefer dripping because "it allows them to conveniently change from one liquid flavor to another without wasting liquid."

Ray Story, CEO of the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association, an industry group, suspects the number of teens who have tried dripping may not be as high as the study indicates.

"Do we think it's going to become a trend or very popular? No," he said. Story, who was not involved in the study, believes there will always be an extremegroup that uses any product, including e-cigarettes, in alternative ways.

In August, the Food and Drug Administration began regulating all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, prohibiting sales to youths under the age of 18.

Story favors regulation and dislikes the fact that underage teens are vaping. Still, he said that 'it's much better to have them play around with vaping devices versus conventional tobacco," a product he believes is more harmful to health than e-cigarettes.

Toxic emissions

Dripping generates higher heating coil temperatures than conventional use of e-cigarettes -- and this is a safety concern. "Higher temperatures lead to greater emissions of a class of harmful chemicals known as volatile aldehydes," including formaldehyde and acrolein, Shihadeh said.

According to Dr. David Carpenter, director of the University at Albany's School of Public Health, both formaldehyde and acrolein are known to cause cancer in humans. Carpenter is unaffiliated with the new study.

These chemicals are also associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a progressive disease that makes it difficult to breathe.

In an unrelated study last year, Shihadeh and his colleagues approximated realistic dripping scenarios under laboratory conditions and then measured temperatures and emissions. "The aldehyde emissions were much greater than what we measured using conventional e-cigs," he said.

More important, as puffing progresses and liquid is consumed, the temperatures and emissions rise "drastically," Shihadeh said. Users believe they can detect when conditions have shifted by a change in flavor, he explained, but by the time they "taste the difference, they very likely have already been exposed to much higher levels of these toxicants" than would have happened under conventional e-cig use.

According to Krishnan-Sarin, "Emerging data is also showing that e-cigarettes contain many other chemicals like propylene glycol and glycerine, and they also contain a lot of flavor chemicals. Now, all of these are volatile, and when they are heated at high temperatures like we see with dripping, you could produce high levels of carcinogenic compounds.

"If the e-liquid is vaporized at a high temperature, you could get a big shot of nicotine," Krishnan-Sarin said.

However, inhaling toxic chemicals is not the only safety risk.

"Handling liquid so often, there is a greater risk of incidental skin contact," Shihadeh said. E-cigarette liquids typically contain nicotine, which is absorbed rapidly through human skin.

If enough liquid is spilled, then, a vaper could be exposed to toxic levels of nicotine. Shihadeh also suggested young children might be hurt by spilled liquid. An analysis of callsto the National Poison Data System estimated that more than seven young children accidentally ingest e-liquids left within reach in households each day.

Revisiting the past

"The other thing is, nicotine is addictive," Carpenter said. "What I'm primarily concerned about is, they've become so popular with the kids, and they're going to be just as addictive as cigarettes."

Their popularity among teens is no longer in question. A December report from Surgeon General Vivek Murthy found e-cigarettes are now "the most commonly used form of tobacco among youth in the United States, surpassing conventional tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco and hookahs." In fact, use of e-cigarettes among high school students increased by 900% from 2011 to 2015, according to the report.

Carpenter worries about the possibility of addiction because the devices are promoted as being safer than conventional cigarettes. Many people, though, do not understand that the fun-flavored liquids -- including "mango" and "bubble gum" -- often contain nicotine. Since nicotine levels also vary from formulation to formulation, users may unknowingly develop a strong need to vape more frequently.

Though it is true that e-cigarettes lack many of the toxic chemicals contained in regular cigarettes, said Carpenter, they have instead "all these added things: these flavorings, these other chemicals." E-cigarettes are unknown territory when it comes to human health, he said.

Krishnan-Sarin agrees: "What I always tell parents is that we know very little, I think, about the short and long-term effects of e-cigarettes."

Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration identified 134 incidents of e-cigarette batteries overheating, catching fire or exploding in the United States during a seven-year period ending in January 2016.

In light of the many health concerns, the FDA announced last year that it would regulate e-cigarettes the same way it regulates traditional cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.

This spring, the agency's Center for Tobacco Products will host a workshop in April to "gather information and stimulate discussion" about e-cigarette battery safety concerns.

Currently, a public docket is open to anyone who wishes to comment on the topic.

Beyond dripping is another alternative use of e-cigarettes that is of concern to Krishnan-Sarin: smoke tricks.

"You can inhale the vapor or the aerosol, and then you blow it out of your mouth or nose, and you create all different kinds of shapes," she said. "People create dragons and volcanoes and little hearts." Vape fests and competitions are devoted to smoke tricks, which are becoming enormously popular.

"More study is needed," said Krishnan-Sarin. "We can't just assume e-cigarettes are being used the way everybody thinks they're being used."

Dripping produces thicker clouds of vapor, gives a stronger sensation in the throat and makes flavors taste better, according to a study, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics. "This study is the first systematic evaluation of the use of dripping among teens," said Suchitra Krishnan-Sarin, lead author and a professor in the department of psychiatry at the Yale University School of Medicine.

A suspect is in custody in the murder of Karina Vetrano, a 30-year-old woman who went out running in the Howard Beach neighborhood of Queens in New York City and never returned

A suspect is in custody in the murder of Karina Vetrano, a 30-year-old woman who went out running in the Howard Beach neighborhood of Queens in New York City and never returned, police announced today.

Vetrano was strangled on Aug. 2 while jogging alone on a path where she and her father often ran together.

Chanel Lewis, 20, who lives with his mother in East New York in Brooklyn, was taken into custody Saturday at approximately 6 p.m., the New York Police Department announced.

He was later charged with murder in the second degree. It is unclear who will be representing him.

Lewis, police said, was identified through a number of means, including DNA evidence taken from Vetrano's body, a 911 call and several court summonses that linked him to the area. He has no prior arrest record, police said.

Police said he was interviewed by detectives and made detailed confessions to the crime.

Early in the investigation, police said Vetrano put up a fight against her attacker, and Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce referred to that detail in a press conference this afternoon.

"Karina helped us to identify this suspect," Boyce said, "thanks to the DNA we recovered from under her nails."

Police gave only limited details about the conclusion of their investigation. Boyce corrected what he described as a misconception about it, saying Lewis had not been in their sights for very long. He described the case as coming to a head within only the last 10 days and pointed to a DNA swab as the key link between Lewis and Vetrano.

Police said today it was unlikely that Lewis knew Vetrano in any capacity and believed the violence occurred after a chance encounter.

Boyce said it was also unlikely that Lewis was a stalker, as some speculated earlier in the investigation.

Tom Brady is the goat , coming back from trailing the Atlanta Falcons 3-28

HOUSTON -- Tom Brady had just proven himself to be the greatest football player of all time, never mind the greatest quarterback, and yet he was angry. Red hot. He was wearing a sweat-soaked Super Bowl-champion T-shirt at his locker, and he was acting as if someone had just swiped his New England Patriots jersey.

In fact, someone had just swiped his iconic No. 12, or so it appeared.

"Did anyone see it?" he asked teammates, equipment guys, staffers, even reporters.

The Falcons jumped out to a big lead in Super Bowl LI, but the Patriots stormed back with one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history. Here's everything you need to know.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady played Super Bowl LI for his mom -- and did so in epic form.

Goats, the GOAT, the mood swings of Arthur Blank, the biggest play and the best tweets of the night and now you see Roger Goodell, now you don't.

Brady's head was on a swivel, and his eyes were turning more urgent by the second. He looked downfield, upfield, into the flat, but the jersey was nowhere to be found.

"I absolutely, 100 percent put it in my bag," Brady said. He bent over and searched through the open bag at his feet, rummaging through his gear like you wouldn't believe.

"Did someone take my jersey?" he asked again, growing more alarmed and impatient.

"Someone took it, E," he said to a locker room guy who looked liked someone you would call "E."

People all over the room were trying to persuade Brady to forget the damn jersey and remember that he'd just delivered the most remarkable comeback victory in Super Bowl history. The Atlanta Falcons were up 25 points late in the third quarter, and all Brady did was send the game into overtime by leading his team on two eight-point drives (including one that covered 91 yards) in the fourth quarter.

All Brady did was throw a pass to Julian Edelman, who made a catch that reduced David Tyree's immaculate reception from nine years ago to a 4-yard out pattern. All Brady did was lord over the winning 75-yard drive in overtime, set all kinds of records and become the first quarterback to earn a fifth Super Bowl ring. All Brady did was claim his fourth Super Bowl MVP award in a forever 34-28 victory.

But the man is a hopeless perfectionist, and someone had violated his perfect scene in the perfect locker room by making off with that jersey.

"If anyone sees it on eBay ..." Brady said after finally cracking a thin smile. He pointed again to his bag on the floor. "It was right in here."

He unwrapped the tape from around his legs, and he pulled off his big red Under Armour shoes before heading to the showers. But before he made his getaway, Brady had lost himself in a hug with Willie McGinest, the star linebacker and defensive end from the early dynasty years. The quarterback called McGinest "big brother," and as Brady made his way to his locker he said, "What a day."

A voice shouted, "Make room for the GOAT," and Brady said, "No, no, no." He hates being called that, even if he knows it's true. Brian Flores, the Patriots' linebackers coach, pushed through a circle of reporters and wrapped his arms around Brady. "Never a doubt," the quarterback said. Flores said he'd told people when the Falcons were winning big, "We've got Tom Brady. We're going to be all right."

Patriots owner Robert Kraft told a similar tale. After he hugged Brady and planted a kiss on his cheek, Kraft relayed a conversation he had with his son Jonathan, the team president.

"I looked over at Jonathan, and it was the middle of the third quarter," Kraft said. "I said, 'Do you think Tommy has given up?' No effin' way, we both said."

Kraft then spoke to his quarterback's source of motivation. In the lead-up to Super Bowl LI, Brady had finally opened up his heart and soul to America and became more relatable, more touchable, more like one of us.

He cried when he called his dad his hero. He posted an Instagram photo of the Brady men kissing Tom's ill mother, Galynn. The quarterback said he wanted to beat the Falcons for her, too. No longer was Brady the superstar quarterback with the supermodel wife who kept all of his inner thoughts locked behind the gated walls he erected around his news conference podiums. He was just another good son who desperately wanted his parents to be happy, healthy and very much a part of his life.

But suddenly the Falcons were running the Patriots out of the building, and Brady could be seen doubled over on the bench, locked in a state of disbelief. "I knew how emotional he was when he was down the way it was," Kraft said, "and we had talked at his locker before that.

"This was the first game his mother had been at, and she's been going through a lot. He said, 'Let's win one for her,' and I was thinking when we were down, when it was 28-3, how he must have felt."

Brady had tried to find Galynn in the stands before the game, but couldn't spot her in the sea of Patriots fans waving at him. His father, Tom Sr., was attending only his second game of the season, a personal-low for him. Brady's dad was too busy tending to Galynn's health issues to worry too much about football. "It's been a challenging year for my family," their son had said. In the end, those challenges fueled him far more than Deflategate ever could.

Tom Brady reminded everyone Sunday night, and all season, that love is a much better source of inspiration than hate. When the franchise player returned from his four-game suspension to start the season, everyone assumed he'd be motivated by rage. One of his best friends, a former Michigan teammate and NFL tight end, Aaron Shea, told ESPN.com that the league's sanction "hurt Tommy a lot more than he'll let anyone know. We barely talked about the details other than a lot of F-bombs going back and forth. ... I want him to stick it to Roger Goodell so bad."

Shea described Brady "as angry" and said the commissioner had "pissed off the GOAT." The quarterback then went out and picked apart the Cleveland Browns on his way to a 28-touchdown, two-interception season that had witnesses leaguewide shaking their heads. He was 39 years old, and playing the best football of his life. The storyline was simple: Goodell had lit his fire just like Lloyd Carr had lit his at Michigan, and just like NFL personnel guys had lit his by allowing him to last until the 199th pick of the 2000 draft.

No, this season wasn't about revenge after all. It was about giving his mother the gift of watching her boy play a game like no man had ever played it. Even Brady's childhood idol, Joe Montana, couldn't build a credible case that Tom Terrific isn't the best quarterback of all. That conversation is dead and buried. The only argument worth having is the one involving the NFL's greatest player, and Brady beats Jim Brown, Lawrence Taylor and Jerry Rice on that front, too.

At 39, Brown was already 10 years and 18 movies into his Hollywood career; he was filming "Take a Hard Ride" in the Canary Islands. LT was already five years into his retirement. Rice was still playing at a high level at 39, but his standing as a dynasty-maker in San Francisco was slightly diminished by the fact Montana's 49ers had won two Super Bowls before Rice was drafted.

The quarterback is everything in the NFL, and Brady has more seasons to play and more titles to win. If you know Brady, you know he doesn't want to end up in a five-rings tie with the likes of Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Derek Jeter. He wants to match Michael Jordan with No. 6, and then some.

Brady put himself in position Sunday night with the performance of his life. He overcame the brutal pick-six in the second quarter that gave Atlanta a 21-0 lead, and he overcame the five sacks and the consistent pounding he took from the Falcons' front line. New England fans chanted Brady's name, and he finished a season he started on the suspended list -- and playing catch with his wife Gisele -- by taking his partnership with Bill Belichick to a place no quarterback-coach partnership has been in the Super Bowl era.

Brady completed 43 of 62 passes for two touchdowns and a record 466 yards and knelt on the field in prayer after James White ended it in overtime. Belichick and LeGarrette Blount were among the Patriots who embraced him as the confetti fell.

"It was a hell of a football game," Brady said.

Before he went on a mad search for his lost jersey ( which is still missing) in the locker room, Brady said he didn't get to spend much quality postgame time with his mom, who was wearing a bandanna around her head after undergoing radiation treatments and chemotherapy. That was OK. Galynn Brady had just watched her own flesh and blood, the best NFL player ever, pull off the ultimate miracle in his miraculous career.

Mother's Day had arrived three months early at the Super Bowl, and for a Brady bunch that had endured a long and cruel year, that was plenty good enough.
