Six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady has a history of sending high-fives to those around him and being completely ignored. On Sunday, Brady put in another vintage display to help the Bucs to a 30-20 win in the NFC Divisional Round playoffs over the Saints. The 43-year-old didn't miss much in the second half of his team's playoffs win except when he tried to get an official to join in during his celebration.
