HOUSTON -- Patriots quarterback Tom Brady explained his overflowing emotion from Super Bowl LI Opening Night on Monday when speaking about his father, acknowledging that "it's been a challenging year for my family, just for some personal reasons."
Brady did not detail the personal reasons, but said, "It's my mom and dad. They've been so supportive my entire life. It's nice to be there to show them -- to try to make them proud."
ESPN's Sal Paolantonio confirmed a CSNNE.com report that Brady's mother, Galynn, has been battling an illness.

Too many times you see athletes be anti-family. Tom Brady is a great role model and ambassador to the game.
Rooting for Brady against the Falcons. I 100% with Tom Brady Sr. I'm not sure how Roger Goodell can sleep at night. Someone of strong moral principle and ethics should be the commissioner of football. Roger Goodell is the anthesis of a great man.
