Tom Brady and the Randy Moss Moment in Week One
Brightness controls whether someone sees the hopeful or dark side of a situation. Tom Brady had been reading the Moss situation through a dim lens — the injuries, the poor OTA performances, the years in Oakland. That single catch in the Jets game flipped the brightness up. Brady went from seeing a diminished version of a great player to seeing exactly what was still possible. His entire read of the situation shifted from doubt to clarity in one moment.
