"Tom Brady just wrapped his weekly interview on Boston sports radio WEEI and as usual was asked about a number of topics (admittedly a certain reporter may have missed the first couple of questions because she may have forgotten what time it was starting...but here's a sample):

On an NFC executive's claim that Bill Belichick "isn't screwing around" this year and the Patriots will dictate things, not be reactive:

"I mean, he's one of the most consistent people I've been around in my life…what you see from him on a daily basis, you're always seeing the same thing, win, lose or draw. When we win, he says 'this is what we did well, we need to continue to do this well' and when we lose, he says 'this is what we need to improve on.' He doesn't come in one day and you're thinking, 'where's he coming from here.' There's no difference that I've seen in his coaching and his coaching style – he has high expectations for us and he wants us to play up to our capabilities.

On Chad Ochocinco's progress:

"I think that every day that we're out there together, and him working with Deion (Branch) and Wes (Welker), it gets better every day. We're working on an abbreviated schedule; we're practicing with lack of OTAs...but he's a very competitive person. Through conversations I have with him, he wants to be out there learning, he wants to compete. I enjoy being out there with him…For all of us, there's good things, there's bad things, there's mediocre things, and by the time the regular season starts hopefully we'll be where we're we need to be.""
