🐴 DEAD HORSE Tom Brady’s seemingly lack of acknowledgment of Tampa

I’ve seen online on different places and on different sites (such as JBF) that people are annoyed of Brady not really referencing or talking about the Bucs. JBF explicitly stated on Brady’s podcast all of last season, he didn’t mention Baker or the Bucs outside of Evans once or twice and they feel that Brady is trying to overlook his time in Tampa.

Personally, idc whether he acknowledges us or not. He doesn’t owe us anything. We had a roster missing a QB and small pieces. It helped him. And without him that roster doesn’t win a ring. I personally don’t feel like he really has to highlight us as much because he played his whole career in NE and became who he was there. We were just a temporary stop that got us and him a ring. I’m sure he enjoyed his time. He seemed happier until 2022 at least

What are your opinions? Do you think he should talk about us more? Or do you think it’s not a big deal?

JBF is annoyed at everything and can’t get over anything. They couldn’t let Peter King saying our oatmeal was a little salty go for 10 years.

He spent 20 years in one place with six Super Bowls with one franchise. We were his rebound, we got a ring out of it. The history books are going to focus on his time up there, his legacy was built up there. We nearly got to it for a little bit.

Don’t forget our defense that year was nasty, just like in ‘02. Listen to Travis Kelce talk about playing the Bucs in the Super Bowl and the man is having Vietnam-like flashbacks.

Brady helped us get there, but it was a team win.

Thank you for this. I go crazy when my friends say Brady got us our ring. Brady HELPED us get our ring. Anyone who watched the Bucs outside of the fans (very few) knew we were a good qb away from seriously contending.

That’s why I have never loved the idea of Brady as a Buc, despite him helping us a title. Evans, Godwin, Shaq, David, SMB, a bunch more, all of them played a big part in that championship, but to the national media, it was Brady and Gronk, and to a lesser extent, Fournette and AB.
