Yes, it's true that Brady reminded Tebow after beating him that good things happen to good people. But Brady never made a bold prediction the way it's been made to seem.

"NFL Replay" will re-air the
Broncos' 29-23 OT win over the
Steelers
on Wednesday, Jan. 11 at 8 p.m. ET.
"Maybe we'll see you again," Brady told Tebow, "maybe" being the key word left out by various media outlets.
A profound Nostradamus-like moment? Hardly. More like a well-wish from one playoff-contending quarterback to another -- and something Brady probably has said before during postgame handshakes in his career.
Be that as it may, Tebow was reminded of Brady's words Sunday night after the Broncos' 29-23 overtime wild-card victory over the Steelers. Tebow apparently played coy at first, then offered up this about Brady.
"He might've said something like that," Tebow said. "So I guess he's a prophet, I don't know."
The Broncos will, indeed, travel to New England on Saturday to play the Patriots in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game. But while Brady sometimes plays as though he's from a supernatural world, Thomas isn't the name of any prophets recognized in the Bible.
Unless, of course, Tebow knows something the rest of us don't.
