Tom Brady may have the honor of playing in more Super Bowls than any quarterback has ever played in, but that just means more chances to lose, which Brady says is something that sticks with you forever.

Earlier on his weekly radio show on WEEI, Brady talked about the sting of a Super Bowl loss.

“All these losses are tough,” Brady said. “Every one that you have you remember forever. This is a new team, new season and it is a different game. Certainly, because it happened just a year ago you still remember some of those emotions as opposed to 12 years ago when we lost in ’07. Those are still a little bit fresh. We just realize everything we have to put into it. If you get to this game and you don’t perform to your best and you don’t perform well enough to win, you just kick yourself for the rest of your life. I don’t think anyone wants to go through that.”

Despite having won five Super Bowls throughout his career, Brady has also been around for three tough losses. One more loss would tie him for Jim Kelly’s record of Super Bowl losses by a starting quarterback, while a win would give him the most Super Bowl victories of any quarterback.

According to Brady, the Patriots’ loss last year to the Philadelphia Eagles is still fresh on some players minds, and in order to defeat the Los Angeles Rams, they’ll have to get through that and use it as motivation.

“Hopefully we learned that lesson and hopefully that serves as some motivation. The whole point of this week is to win the game. If you win it, you’ll have something to celebrate the rest of your life. If you don’t, it will be some mental scar tissue that you’ll have to deal with the rest of your life.”

For Brady and the Patriots, a lot rides on this upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams. Only time will tell which record he'll end up being a part of, but no matter what, it will likely stick with him.
