FOXBORO - This is Tom Brady country. And in his backyard, he remains, and will always be, god-like.
Whether the NFL claims he “approved of the scheme to tamper with game balls” during the AFC Championship game, or he intentionally deep-sixed a pertinent cell phone with respect to the investigation, Brady is still the man in New England.
This is his sanctuary, his comfort zone. And when he headed out on the field behind Gillette Stadium to start training camp Thursday morning, fans packing the stands in the sweltering heat erupted with the first of many “Brady, Brady, Brady” chants.
