“The testicles were like, literally like one side was like an orange,” Brady said. “And then the other side was normal. And I was like ‘something’s wrong here.’”

“My backup quarterback at the time, Matt Cassel, drew pictures of me with this one huge testicle on one side, and he would leave them in my locker every day,” Brady said. “‘Purple balls’ he’d call me.”

“Man that s— hurt,” Brady told Stern. “That was a really tough injury.”

It’s a new era for the 42-year-old, who will be entering a season wearing a new uniform and without Bill Belichick as head coach for the first time in his NFL career.

Same balls tho.
