Tom Brady won six Super Bowls and 17 AFC East titles for the New England Patriots during his two-decade career with the franchise. Not bad for a sixth-round draft pick.
So, to be clear, Brady owes New England nothing. Ever.
Not an explanation. Not an apology. Not even a comment, really. Nothing. On the all-time scales of athlete/team, Brady’s side is touching the floor.
That said, you can’t blame former teammates, coaches, fans or anyone with the franchise if they wonder where Brady’s head and heart were during the 2019 season.
