Tom Brady announced his retirement Tuesday, bringing an end to the mostremarkable playing career the National Football League has ever seen. After 22seasons during which Brady racked up five Super Bowl wins, three MVP awards,15 Pro Bowl selections and a slew of career records that may never be broken, thelegendary quarterback's resume and accomplishments speak for themselves.
But beyond the numbers, his unparalleled flair for late-game heroics andovercoming impossible obstacles also produced countless unforgettable memories.Many of those seemingly impossible obstacles weren't just built by an opposingdefense or a dwindling game clock, but by Mother Nature.
The legend of Brady's playoff heroics began during his very first playoff game. Inthe very last game ever played at Foxboro Stadium in 2002, heavy snowfallblanketed the field and all but shrouded any view of the field. After the Patriots'offense struggled to move the ball in the first half, Brady orchestrated two scoringdrives in the fourth quarter to dig New England out of a 13-3 deficit and tie thegame with 27 seconds left. While Patriots' kicker Adam Vinatieri had to kick awaythe snow to find a patch of grass for his kick, TV viewers at home couldn't even seethe ball go through the uprights because the snow was falling so heavily.
 In overtime, Brady led the offense on a masterful eight-minute drive that concludedwith another clutch Vinatieri game-winning field goal. And, oh yeah, and there wasalso that Tuck Rule controversy. In another wintry AFC Divisional Playoff game, the Patriots hosted the TennesseeTitans in the coldest game ever played at Gillette Stadium in 2009.

Temperatures below zero. The first 10,000 fansin attendance were given free hand-warmers while the stadium played a video of aroaring fire on the scoreboard in a bid to create some virtual warmth. But on thefield, Brady didn't seem to notice the cold. Maybe it was because he had ice in hisveins. He completed 21 passes for more than 200 yards to go with a touchdown. In thefourth quarter, he once again marched the offense down the field to set up a game-winning Vinatieri field goal, propelling New England toward yet another SuperBowl.
