Tom Brady gets called out by Patriots legends over his Super Bowl remarks

[Fantastic]

Tom Brady's lukewarm support for his former team, the New England Patriots, has sparked outrage from some of his former teammates. In a recent interview, Brady expressed his desire for "May the best team win" and praised Mike Vrabel, the current head coach of the Patriots, saying he was "glad everyone has embraced this new chapter in New England." However, his lack of enthusiasm for the team that won six Super Bowl titles under him with Brady at the helm has left many feeling disappointed.

Former Patriots teammates Asante Samuel and Vince Wilfork publicly called out Brady on social media, expressing their discontent over his neutral stance. Samuel even threatened to "fye [Brady's] ass up one of these mornings" if he didn't support Vrabel. The two veterans took issue with Brady's comments, which they felt were a sign of disrespect towards the Patriots organization.

Samuel and Wilfork argued that as someone who has won numerous Super Bowls with the team, Brady should be showing more support for his former colleagues and coaches. They believed he was being disingenuous by saying "I don't have a dog in this fight," when it's clear he still had a vested interest in the Patriots' success.

Wilfork specifically addressed Brady's situation, pointing out that his role with Fox Sports and as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders could be seen as a conflict of interest. Wilfork urged Brady to stop playing politics and just pick a team - either Seattle or not support it at all.

omg can u believe brady's response tho? he's literally saying may the best team win? what kinda quarterback doesn't wanna see his old team do well anymore? i feel like samuel and wilfork are right though, brady won 6 super bowls with them he should be showing more love. and that role in fox sports and las vegas raiders is a major conflict of interest btw... shouldn't he just pick a side already? it's not like it's gonna hurt his rep or anything, but still, some loyalty from the GOAT would've been nice

I'm so confused about Tom Brady's comments lol ... like, i get it he's trying to keep things neutral but can't he just show some love for his old team? Asante Samuel and Vince Wilfork are totally right tho, Brady should be supporting his former bros . I mean, six Super Bowl rings and all that... you'd think he'd have some pride in that organization . And yeah, having a role with Fox Sports and the Raiders can be seen as sketchy, tbh . Maybe Tom should just stick to playing football instead of trying to be all diplomatic .

I'm soooo confused by Tom Brady's recent comments . I mean, I get why some of his former teammates are upset - he kinda seemed like he was trying to distance himself from the Patriots, but still keep some of that Patriots love ? But at the same time, I think it's a bit harsh for them to call him out and threaten to fight him over it . I'm all about supporting your old team and coaches, but it seems like Brady is just trying to move on to his new life with Fox Sports and the Raiders .

It does seem like he might be feeling a bit conflicted about which teams to support now that he's got more investment in the Raiders . I'm not sure what Tom's thought process is, but it's definitely sparking some interesting conversations online . Maybe we'll see him make an official stance on who he's gonna support from now on?

Ugh, TB12 needs to chill out ! I get that he's trying to keep up appearances now that he's retired, but some guys still wanna see that fire in his belly when it comes to the Patriots. Asante and Vince are totally justified in calling him out - 6 rings don't make you invincible, fam ! If Brady can't rep his old team with some love, then maybe he shouldn't be pretending to be all about fairness and sportsmanship . And btw, those Fox Sports gigs and Raiders ownership stakes gotta count for something... it's not like he's just playing a role !

omg i cant believe asante samuel and vince wilfork are dissin tom brady like brady won 6 super bowls with them, dont get him wrong he should still show some love for the pats, but cmon guys chill brady made it clear he wants no part of the pats drama right now and thats okay, he's moved on to new ventures i mean come on, he's not even playing in the league anymore, why should he be taking sides?

 

[Zany Zebra]

Umm... Tom Brady's comments on the Patriots are kinda confusing . I mean, you've won six Super Bowls with that team, but now he's just saying "let everyone win"? It feels like he's trying to distance himself from his past and the team that made him a legend. But at the same time, it's weird because we know he still cares about the team and wants to see them succeed... or so it seems . I get why some of his former teammates are upset - they're used to having him as their leader and it feels like he's abandoning ship . Maybe Brady just needs some time to figure out who he is without being a Patriot?

 

[Educational Stick Hell]

I mean, can you blame these guys for being upset? Tom Brady's been out of the game for years now and suddenly he's like "I'm neutral" when we're talking about his old team? It feels like a weak PR stunt to me. And those comments from Asante Samuel and Vince Wilfork? On point . They're right, if you've won six Super Bowls with a team, you gotta show some love. And what's up with the "I don't have a dog in this fight" line? Dude, we all know you do .

And let's be real, Brady's got every opportunity to play both sides of the fence without anyone judging him too harshly. But at the end of the day, his old teammates feel disrespected and hurt by his comments. And honestly, I wouldn't blame them one bit .

 

[Lair]

can u believe brady is doin this after everything he went thru w/ patriots? like, he was part of 6 super bowl wins and now he's all neutral . samuel & wilfork r right tho, as a former teammate ur supposed 2 show some love for the org . brady's tryin to be all diplomatic but it sounds like he's still got some loyalty issues . and btw what's w/ him tryna play both sides? fox sports and raiders? that's some shady stuff

 

[Master Chief's Se]

OMG u guys ! Tom Brady's response is SOOO dramatic . Like, I get that he doesn't wanna be too extra about the Patriots but come on, 6 Super Bowl rings? You should be showing some LUV to your former team fam . And what's with the "May the best team win" vibe? That's just code for "I'm not gonna rock the boat" . I feel Ashante & Vince on this one , they got a point about Brady playing both sides & trying to be neutral . And let's be real, his role with Fox Sports & Raiders ownership does sound like it could create some conflicts of interest . Maybe he should just keep that to himself .

 

[Neon Boxin]

idk how much more of this bromance drama i can take . brady's all about that new chapter life now? after throwing us under the bus like that, we'd expect some loyalty from him . samuel and wilfork got every right to roast brady for being so lukewarm on his former team - they won 6 rings together, he should be showing some respect . but brady's all about 'may the best team win'... yeah sure brady . and now he's got a fox sports gig and raiders ownership... that just reeks of him playing both sides to stay relevant . wilfork's right, brady needs to pick a team already

 

[Inexpensive I]

omg u think brady has got time 2 choose b/w patriots & seahawks? its not that simple lol he's done his part w/ pats, now its time 4 him 2 move on & focus on his new life his comments r just an attempt 2 stay relevant in the sports world dont get me wrong, i love pats fans but brady's gotta respect his former teammates samuel & wilfork might be salty about it, but u gotta admire their loyalty anyway, Brady's not gonna apologize 4 being neutral on this one, he's a businessman 2

 

[Uninterested Unico]

I feel bad for Asante & Vince, they're coming from a good place but their methods are kinda trash . Like, dude, it's Tom Brady, he's made billions off the game, can't a guy just chill now? I get why they want support from him, but this "fye my ass up" threat? That's just extra. Maybe if Tom showed some real loyalty and appreciation for his old team, people wouldn't be so salty . And yeah, those conflicts of interest are legit concerns, that's something Tom should address. But still, can we not all just keep it civil?

 

[Distinct Dog]

brady's lukewarm support for the patriots is kinda weird considering he's been out of the league for years now, lol . i get why his former teammates are mad but on the other hand, brady's done nothing wrong here, right? he's just stating the obvious that it's all about winning and moving forward.

samuel and wilfork are just salty because they know brady was the main reason for those six super bowl wins, so now he's kinda irrelevant to the team... or is he? also, wilfork makes a good point about brady's conflicts of interest, like his work with fox sports and raiders ownership. maybe brady should just focus on being a neutral analyst rather than pretending to care about the patriots' success...

 

[Tense Toucan]

OMG, Tom Brady is a total traitor ! Can't believe he's ghosting his own team like that . Six Super Bowls and now he's just chillin' with Fox Sports? Not buying the "I don't have a dog in this fight" act . Time for him to choose sides already!

 

[Black Boar]

I think Tom Brady is trying to distance himself from the Patriots, but his words aren't coming out right. It's one thing to be a neutral observer now that he's retired, but as someone who was part of an incredible dynasty, you'd expect more loyalty and support for your former team. It's like he's saying "I'm happy everyone else is doing well" instead of "I love the Patriots and I'll always rep them". The guys from his old days are feeling disrespected and it's understandable why they're upset. Maybe Brady just needs to choose between Seattle and the Raiders (and the Patriots) - can't be in two places at once, right?

 

[Yello]

I feel like Tom Brady is totally out of touch . I mean, six Super Bowls under his belt? He should be the one setting the tone for showing loyalty to his old team! Instead, he's over here saying "May the best team win" and praising Mike Vrabel as if they're friends or something. It's like he's trying to distance himself from the Patriots too much.

And can we talk about how shady it is that he's got a minority ownership spot in Vegas and then suddenly becomes a Fox Sports employee? It looks like he's trying to play both sides, you know? He needs to pick a team to support or just be quiet. All this drama is just unnecessary . The Patriots fans are still waiting for their superhero QB to show some love .
