Patriots Legends Criticize Tom Brady Over Super Bowl Prediction
Tom Brady’s recent remarks about Super Bowl LX have incited criticism from former New England Patriots players. He stated on the Let’s Go! podcast that he has no preference for the game and predicted the Seattle Seahawks would win if they faced the Patriots multiple times.
Patriots Legends Respond to Brady’s Comments
Vince Wilfork, a former defensive tackle for the Patriots, labeled Brady’s remarks as “political bullcrap.” He expressed disappointment, urging Brady to take a definitive stance on his former team’s chances.
Asante Samuel, another former Patriot, voiced his discontent, saying he was “highly disappointed” that Brady did not support his old team or coach Mike Vrabel, who played a pivotal role in New England’s success.
Contrasting Opinions from Patriots Greats
- Tedy Bruschi, a respected figure in Patriots history, confidently predicted that New England would triumph over the Seahawks.
- Robert Spillaine expressed his disgust at Brady’s lack of support for the team.
Brady’s Evolving Allegiances
Despite being a franchise icon, with his No. 12 jersey retired and a statue outside Gillette Stadium, Brady’s affiliations have changed. He now serves as the lead color commentator for Fox, which necessitates a neutral approach during Super Bowl coverage.
Additionally, his minority ownership in the Las Vegas Raiders influences his perspective. With the Raiders reportedly set to hire Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, Brady’s interests may conflict with his past team’s success.
Implications for Patriots Fans
Brady’s prediction has left many fans and former teammates upset. His allegiance appears to be divided between his new ventures and his roots with the Patriots. This shift reflects his priorities in life after football, raising questions about his loyalty to his former team.
