Brady mentor Martinez condition improves

Two weeks ago we passed along word that Tom Martinez, the longtime personal quarterback coach and mentor to Tom Brady, had serious health problems and had been given a grave prognosis of just a month to live. But today we can pass along good news.

“I’m feeling better and I’m optimistic after being almost completely certain that I was going to die,” Martinez told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Martinez says he has been given new hope after seeking a second opinion, getting an adjustment to his pacemaker and being told he’s a candidate for a kidney transplant and, if a suitable donor can be found, a heart transplant.

“Incredible, isn’t it?” Martinez said. “After my camp ends, I will go back down to UCLA for some internal tests, to see if I can handle surgery. They might try to do a double transplant if everything works.”

With smart doctors and a generous organ donor, Martinez may still have plenty of quarterback mentoring left in him.

Good news for the Martinez family.
