Tom Brady wrangles Broncos in new Facebook pic

Give it to Tom Brady — the man knows how to get under the skin of his opponents.

Brady posted the bit of high-level Photoshoppery at right on his Facebook page on Sunday morning, a clear shot at Denver in advance of Sunday night's marquee game.

Of course, we have questions:

• The Bronco appears to be smiling. Does it know something Brady doesn't?

• How is Brady able to stay on the Bronco? That's some serious knee-and-thigh strength there.

• Would carrying the quarterback on your back count as a penalty? If not, the Denver defense may have a new trick to play.

• Why is Brady still trying to throw the ball? Shouldn't he tuck it away? What is he, Cam Newton?

• That Bronco looks a bit like an angry Peyton Manning, doesn't it?

Brady did something similar before last year's AFC championship game against the Colts, and in case you've been under a rock for the past 11 months: that was the game the Patriots won 45-7, but that was also the game which kicked off the entire deflate-gate scandal that persists to this day. So, you know, careful what you wish for, Tom. You never know how these things are going to play out.

Anyway, this is the latest in Brady's ongoing Facebook routine, in which he (or a gifted social media intern) takes delight in making the everyday seem extraordinary because it's TOM BRADY DOING IT. Control the conversation, baby.
