While most quarterbacks buy their linemen a watch or maybe treat them to some Micky D's, Tom Brady went out and got Dan Koppen, Logan Mankins and Stephen Neal nice new cars - Audi Q7 SUVs to be exact.

Russ Hochstein would rather be in the background than the forefront, so the "aw-shucks" Nebraska native was a little uncomfortable Sunday, not because he had to fill in for an injured Dan Koppen as the Patriots' starting center, but because it was also his 30th birthday, "the big 3-0," as he put it.
