Danny Amendola learned early on in his tenure with the New England Patriots about the competitive nature of Tom Brady.
During an appearance on ESPN's "SportsCenter" on Tuesday, Amendola told a story about the time Brady challenged him to a pingpong game shortly after signing with the Patriots.
"He's the best teammate," Amendola said of Brady. "He's so competitive and what-not. I remember one story. It was my first week in the building. He wanted to play some ping-ping. I didn't really know how to go about it. I know I was better than him. I didn't want to beat him too bad because I wanted him to throw me the ball."
Amendola won the game, leaving Brady very upset.
"I knew I was better," Amendola said. "Needless to say, his competitive nature unleashed a broken paddle by the end of it. It the reason why we love him, and the reason why he's the best quarterback."
