As if there is not enough sadness going on in New England over the Coronavirus canceling St. Patrick’s Day,
Tom Brady found a way to make it even sadder. There is not enough Guiness in Massachussettes for them to drown their sorrows in after what he posted on social media today.
To all my teammates, coaches, executives and staff, Coach Belichick, RKK and the Kraft family and the entire organization. I want to say thank you for the past twenty years of my life and the daily commitment to winning and creating a winning culture built on great values. I am grateful for all that you have taught me – I have learned from everyone. You all have allowed me to maximize my potential and that is all a player can ever hope for. Everything we have accomplished brings me great joy and the lessons I have learned will carry on with me forever. I couldn’t be the man I am today without the relationships you have allowed me to build with you. I have benefited from all you have given me. I cherished every opportunity I had to be a part of our team, and I love you all for that. Our team has always set a great standard in pro sports and I know it will continue to do just that.
Although my football journey will take place elsewhere, I appreciate everything that we have achieved and am grateful for our incredible TEAM accomplishments. I have been privileged to have had the opportunity to know each and everyone of you, and to have the memories we’ve created together.
I tried to represent us always in the best and most honorable way, and I fought hard with my teammates to help bring victory and triumph even in the most dire situations. You opened your heart to me, and I opened my heart to you. And Pats Nation will always be a part of me. I don’t know what my football future holds but it is time for me to open a new stage for my life and career. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I will always love you and what we have shared – a lifetime full of fun memories.
After months of speculation, it seems to be that Brady has confirmed he is leaving the New England Patriots. A team he has been with since the beginning of his career, 20 years ago.
Sorry, but this a real dick move. No other town is going to love him as he has been loved in Boston. To me, this is even more of an FU than when LeBron James left the Cavs for the first time.
Am I the only one who doesn’t like him for some reason? It has nothing to do with me being a NYer and out two towns’ rivalries.
