COMMENTARY
Maybe it’s for the best that Tom Brady’s Buccaneers (yep, still weird) and the Brady-less Patriots don’t collide on the 2020 NFL schedule.
Watching him play elsewhere is going to require a season of adjustment for Patriots fans. Watching him play against the team he co-piloted to unprecedented heights in NFL lore would be too much for now.
The NFL and its television partners would have done anything, up to and including sacrificing a team mascot on live television, to have Brady vs. Bill Belichick happen in the 2020 season.
