Ben Affleck makes no secret of how much he adores his children. But spending a day with seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady almost beats out fatherhood when it comes to recalling the best day of his life.

What were you running? What kind of routes are you running?â Jason asked him curiously. Affleck admitted that he wasn’t confident in the technical terms.
âI won’t lie to you. I don’t know if they have a name. I’m sure I disgraced every receiver that’s ever run around,” he admitted. “But to this day, aside from the birth of my children, that was the greatest day.”
