Tom Brady, who grew up in the Bay Area, was a massive 49ers fans in his youth. And ahead of his matchup with his childhood team on Sunday, he reflected on how he feels about the franchise—and opened up about some beef he still has with the team that stretches back to over 20 years ago.
“[I] was lucky to grow up in the Bay Area at that time,” Brady said. “It was just a great time. There was so many great players, great era of football. And I love the 49ers, and I loved them through college and when they skipped over me six times I started hating the 49ers, and that’s just the way it went down.
