Buffalo mayor reminds residents to social distance while celebrating Tom Brady’s departure

Buffalo Mayor Bryon Brown says the city’s residents are allowed to celebrate Tom Brady’s departure from the New England Patriots in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak.

But they still have to follow local and federal social distancing guidelines.

“Just a reminder, bars and restaurants are open for takeout and delivery only,” Brown said during a press conference Tuesday afternoon, hours after Brady announced his decision to leave in free agency.

“So for those of you who want to celebrate Tom Brady leaving the New England Patriots — and, hopefully, leaving the AFC East — there are no mass gatherings,” he said.
