What are Douglas 25Ls and why has Tom Brady sworn by them for 25 years? ESPN NFL Nation reporter Mike Reiss, who covers Brady’s New England Patriots, examined why the quarterback loves his old-school shoulder pads – a style the player has favored since the mid-1990s – so much. Reiss interviewed the former equipment manager at Brady’s alma mater, Michigan. That’s one of the examples of ESPN’s storytelling fans reacted to on social media this past week, as illustrated below.

Great piece. "You're put in a circumstance. You make a choice. And that choice reveals your character." Why a grueling 100-mile bike race is a perfect metaphor for @dallaseakins. https://t.co/n2y73jNhI7#Leadville100 #NHL @AnaheimDucks #cyclinglife

Tom Brady’s most trusted teammate is the shoulder pads he’s been wearing since his freshman year of college – 1996. https://t.co/zK5vkim71y

@Doc_Melton https://t.co/qa8o8BudZz The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are already defying the norm by sporting the most diverse coaching staff in the NFL, and if Offensive Coordinator Byron Leftwich keeps it up he will land himself a head coaching position. #McCormackD&i
