<p>Shortly after six-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady arrived in his new home in Tampa Bay, Fla., he was spotted working out in a downtown public park, which was closed to visitors under coronavirus regulations.</p>
<p>He was promptly asked to leave by park staff.</p>
<p>Tampa Bay Mayor Jane Castor, a former police chief, on Friday penned a sort-of apology letter to Brady, also welcoming him and Rob Gronkowski, Brady&#8217;s go-to tight end during the pair&#8217;s time with the New England Patriots, to the Florida city.</p>
<p>&#8220;Tom, my apologies for the miscommunication when you arrived &#8212; not the best first impression,&#8221; Castor wrote in a letter she posted on Twitter. &#8220;But given my law enforcement background, I couldn&#8217;t help but have someone investigate the sighting of a G.O.A.T. running wild in one of our beautiful city parks.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brady is often called the Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T.).</p>
<p>&#8220;No harm &#8212; no foul, and thanks for being a good sport,&#8221; Castor added.</p>
<p>To Gronkowski, also known simply as “Gronk,” she had a few words of advice.</p>
<p>With so many “wonderful activities,” the mayor said, “you must be ready to pARRGHty&#8230;but not too hard (I’m talking to you Gronk),” she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is plenty for you to do as well Gronk. Although we have to socially distance right now, in no time you will be able to enjoy our nightlife and eclectic neighborhoods &#8230; Just remember &#8216;No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service&#8217; is still in effect around here.&#8221;</p>
<p>She also addressed both players, saying: &#8220;We are so glad to have you here. While most people retire and come to Florida, you came out of retirement to head our way. That shows the competitive mindset we are used to, while sticking it to the AARP at the same time. Looking forward to growing used to the Gronk Spike!&#8221;</p>
<p>Castor listed a slew of things to do and places to visit in Tampa &#8212; Ybor City, SoHo, Armature Works and Sparkman Wharf — and said the pair can enjoy Cuban sandwiches and cigars. She also thanked Brady and his wife Gisele Bündchen for their donation to &#8220;Feeding Tampa Bay.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Thanks again for choosing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and, in turn, our beloved city. This is a very exciting time and we look forward to welcoming you with (virtual) open arms. A proper Tampa welcome will have to wait for a while,” she wrote.</p>
<p>In her letter, the mayor also referenced Brady&#8217;s quest to trademark the terms &#8220;Tampa Brady&#8221; and &#8220;Tompa Bay.&#8221; Castor said she appreciates the idea, but added that perhaps it&#8217;s just a bit premature.</p>
<p>In a postscript to her letter, she wrote: &#8220;Tom, it&#8217;s Tampa Bay. You win us a Super Bowl and we&#8217;ll discuss Tampa Brady.&#8221;</p>

Washington Redskins v New England Patriots

Tampa Bay Mayor Welcomes Brady, Gronk To City In Hilarious Letter

Tom Brady

<p>A female staffer working for the city of Tampa’s Parks and Recreation department, aware that the city had closed down public parks, ejected a 42-year-old man who was working out.</p>
<p>The man was Tom Brady, who recently left the New England Patriots, with whom he won six Super Bowls before he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.</p>
<p>On Monday, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, speaking on a Facebook live chat with St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman, said, “I got to tell you this story, too. I always tell people, ‘Now I’m not one to gossip so you didn’t hear this from me.’ But you know our parks are closed down and so a lot of our parks staff, they patrol around just to make sure people aren’t doing contact sports and things and saw an individual working out in one of our downtown parks. And she went over to tell him that it was closed and it was Tom Brady … he has been sighted,” as the <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/sports/bucs/2020/04/20/tom-brady-was-thrown-out-of-park-by-a-tampa-recreation-worker/">Tampa Bay Times</a> reported.</p>

<p>The city also clarified that Brady had not been “cited” but rather “sighted,” tweeting, “To clear up any confusion, @Buccaneers QB @TomBrady was SIGHTED in one of our 194 beautiful parks. He was not cited as some media outlets have reported. We are excited to welcome Tom &amp; everyone back to all of our parks once we have punted COVID-19 downfield!&#8221;</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Brady has been ramping up his identification with the city of Tampa already; earlier this month <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29021282/tom-brady-seeks-trademarks-tompa-bay-tampa-brady">ESPN</a> reported that he hoped  to trademark &#8220;Tompa Bay&#8221; and &#8220;Tampa Brady&#8221; for use in merchandise. ESPN stated, “The requests for the new phrases were filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on April 6. &#8220;<a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28957474/buccaneers-quarterback-tom-brady-agents-files-tb-x-tb-trademark">TB x TB</a>&#8221; was filed March 20.”</p>
<p>The Glazer family, which owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, recently donated enough money to buy five million meals for Feeding Tampa Bay. In addition, they pledged $100,000 to the One Tampa: Relief Now, Rise Together Fund, which aids residents and business owners, as well as $100,000 to St. Petersburg’s Fighting Chance Fund, as <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/sports/bucs/2020/04/21/bucs-owners-donate-five-million-meals-to-feeding-tampa-bay/">The Tampa Bay Times</a> reported.</p>
<p>Bucs co-owner Darcie Glazer-Kassewitz said, “We are facing an unprecedented situation that has affected so many throughout the world and in our community. My family discussed different ways to help, but ultimately we all knew that food insecurity was a critical area that needed immediate assistance. My family’s main priority was to find the most efficient way to provide this essential food to those that are struggling the most at this time. Feeding Tampa Bay is doing tremendous work ensuring that those in need of food assistance are getting it every day.”</p>
<p>She added, “We knew that Feeding Tampa Bay was having a challenging time meeting the tremendous increase in the needs of our community. Our family wanted to provide the type of resources that would ensure their ability to keep meeting the needs of our community without disruption. We have the highest admiration and gratitude for the work they are doing throughout the Tampa Bay area.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thomas Mantz, the CEO for Feeding Tampa Bay, acknowledged:</p>
<blockquote><p>Food is fundamental to all of us, and we want to make sure it’s available. You have to pay your rent bill. You have to pay your car payment and things of that nature. But food is something that we can help provide and lessen the pressure on a family’s budget. We’re trying to make sure that we’re out in the community responding to the 10 counties we serve, and we’re making sure there’s food to our charity partners or directly distributed by us wherever we can move that. So five million meals is an incredible contribution to that effort. It’s the largest we’ve had here in Tampa Bay, and it couldn’t come at a better time and it couldn’t come at a more important time.</p></blockquote>
<p>He concluded, “It establishes leadership. It says, ‘Hey this cause is important. We’re giving to it, and you know their reputation in their community and their position in the community, so it really helps us tell the story of those we’re trying to help.&#8221;</p>


NFL: NOV 24 Buccaneers at Falcons

City Of Tampa Staffer Kicks Man Out Of Public Park. It’s Tom Brady.

Coronavirus

tampa

<p>NFL quarterback Tom Brady spent two hours Wednesday morning talking to radio host Howard Stern about a variety of subjects, ranging from President Donald Trump, to First Daughter and White House advisor Ivanka Trump, to his supermodel wife, to his relationship with his former coach, the New England Patriots&#8217; Bill Belichick.</p>
<p>Brady was open about his friendship with the president, but <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/tiger-king-joe-exotic-is-far-more-evil-than-you-think?ref=scroll">revealed</a> that he declined an offer from Trump to speak at the 2016 Republican National Convention, telling Stern that “political support is totally different from the support of a friend.”</p>
<p>“I didn’t want to get into all the political [arena],” Brady added, according to <a class="LinkWrapper LinkWrapper--external" href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1247882731159158784?s=20">NFL.com</a>.</p>
<p>At another point during the conversation, Stern said Trump encouraged Brady to date his daughter Ivanka.</p>
<p>“Trump always dreamed of you marrying Ivanka, and he told me he suggested it to you – but did you ever go out with her?” the host told Brady, according to The Daily Beast.</p>
<p>“That was a long time ago in my life,&#8221; the QB answered, giving off a laugh. &#8220;No, there was never that, where we ever dated or anything like that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stern took it a step further and suggested Trump wanted Brady to “bang Ivanka and form a relationship” or “power dynasty.”</p>
<p>“He never suggested that to me,&#8221; Brady responded. &#8220;Look, it all worked out for me anyway. I married the woman of my dreams. &#8230; I think I married the most amazing woman, so I have no regrets.”</p>
<p>Brady married supermodel Gisele Bündchen in 2009.</p>
<div class="nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text">
<p>&#8220;She walked in and she sat down and obviously, I thought she was the most beautiful thing I&#8217;d ever seen in my life,&#8221; he gushed over Bündchen, referring to the couple&#8217;s first date.</p>
<p>As noted by <a href="https://www.buccaneers.com/news/tom-brady-opens-up-howard-stern-show-interview-carmen-catches-up">Buccaneers.com</a>, Brady discussed the couple&#8217;s marital snags:</p>
<blockquote><p>[Brady] said two years ago, he had to “check himself” with all the time he was spending on himself and his career. Bündchen needed him at home more, which is what led to him spending OTAs the past few years at home training, rather than with the team. She said that she had goals and dreams that she wanted to accomplish, too. One thing he said that really stood out was how nurturing of a wife and mother she is and how she wants to extend that beyond their family and make an impact on the world. But everything was one-sided at that point with his career. Brady said she wrote him a letter expressing all of this, one that he still keeps in a drawer.</p></blockquote>
</div>
<div class="nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text">
<p>&#8220;Brady mentioned that when he first met Bündchen, the friend that set them up mentioned to her that Brady was her in a male version and they found that they were very similar people,&#8221; the outlet noted. &#8220;Brady also shared a little about another he was connected to through their very motivated and driven mentality: Kobe Bryant.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<p>The 42-year-old also addressed rumors surrounding his apparently rocky relationship with Belichick, telling Stern that his former coach was doing what any coach should do: prepare for the present and the future.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think he has a lot of loyalty,&#8221; Brady said of Belichick. &#8220;He and I have had a lot of conversations that nobody has ever been privy too, and nor should they be. So many wrong assumptions were made about our relationship, or about how he felt about me. I know, genuinely, how he feels about me.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Now, I&#8217;m not gonna respond to every rumor or assumption that&#8217;s made, other than, what his responsibility as coach is, is for him to try to get the best player not only in the short-term, but in the long-term, as well,&#8221; Brady said, adding, &#8220;I don&#8217;t fault him for that.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Brady, who tested the free agent market for the first time in his career after 20 historic seasons in New England, signed a multi-year contract with the Buccaneers, the team announced on Friday,&#8221; the press release continued. &#8220;Tampa Bay&#8217;s addition of the three-time NFL MVP is an indication that team architects believe the rest of the roster is already strong enough to compete for a Super Bowl title and are going all-in in that pursuit. Brady has known nothing but winning in his two decades in the NFL, including six Super Bowl championships, 17 division titles and an NFL record 219 victories as a starter.&#8221;</p>
<p>Buccaneers General Manager Jason Licht said the move to acquire Brady &#8220;will immediately impact our entire organization.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div class="nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text">
<p>&#8220;Tom is a proven champion who has achieved greatness on the field because he demands the best out of himself and his teammates,&#8221; Licht said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve known Tom since we drafted him in New England 20 years ago and through this process it became very clear that his desire to be a champion burns as strong today as it ever has. He possesses the type of rare natural leadership qualities that will immediately impact our entire organization.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brady took to Instagram Friday morning to announce the news, as well.</p>
<p>&#8220;Excited, humble and hungry,&#8221; the QB started the post. &#8220;[I]f there is one thing I have learned about football, it’s that nobody cares what you did last year or the year before that&#8230;you earn the trust and respect of those around through your commitment every single day.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m starting a new football journey and thankful for the [Buccaneers] for giving me an opportunity to do what I love to do,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I look forward to meeting all my new teammates and coaches and proving to them that they can believe and trust in me&#8230;I have always believed that well done is better than well said, so I’m not gonna say much more &#8211; I’m just gonna get to work!&#8221;</p>

I’m starting a new football journey and thankful for the @buccaneers for giving me an opportunity to do what I love to do. I look forward to meeting all my new teammates and coaches and proving to them that they can believe and trust in me&#8230;I have always believed that well done is better than well said, so I’m not gonna say much more &#8211; I’m just gonna get to work! #Year1  p.s.

<p>&#8220;I tried to represent us always in the best and most honorable way,&#8221; the 42-year-old continued, &#8220;and I fought hard with my teammates to help bring victory and triumph even in the most dire situations. You opened your heart to me, and I opened my heart to you. And Pats Nation will always be part of me.&#8221;</p>

<p>According a report published Monday from <a href="https://boston.cbslocal.com/2020/03/16/tom-brady-update-choices-patriots-and-buccaneers/">CBS Boston</a>, Brady&#8217;s list of &#8220;<em>actual </em>suitors is apparently quite low.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it is down to this. From everything I’ve heard, it’s down to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New England Patriots,&#8221; analyst Chris Simms speculated.</p>
<p>&#8220;And I don’t think that the New England Patriots are going to be willing to give Tom Brady $30 million a year type of money,&#8221; Simms added. &#8220;As we know, Bill Belichick, he drives a hard bargain, he treats it like a business, no matter who it is — even if it’s the GOAT. He’s not going to just give him free money.&#8221;</p>
<p>On Tuesday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport highlighted via Twitter: “The [Tampa Bay Buccaneers] made a strong offer to QB Tom Brady believed to be $30M or more. The #Chargers did, as well. And now, he’s leaving New England.”</p>

<p>“The Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders had been rumored as potential Brady suitors before re-signing Ryan Tannehill and agreeing to terms with Marcus Mariota, respectively,” a report from <a href="https://nesn.com/2020/03/tom-brady-announces-he-is-leaving-patriots-thanks-organization/">NESN</a> outlined Tuesday noting that “[s]peculation over the San Francisco 49ers’ interest in the QB was squashed Sunday.”</p>
<p>“Brady started 283 games for the New England since replacing Drew Bledsoe early in the 2001 season, missing time only following his torn ACL in 2008 and his four-game Deflategate suspension in 2016,” reported NESN. “He earned 14 Pro Bowl selections, three NFL Most Valuable Player Awards and four Super Bowl MVPs; leads all NFL quarterbacks in career wins; and ranks second all-time behind Drew Brees in both passing yards and passing touchdowns.”</p>


Super Bowl LIII &#8211; New England Patriots v Los Angeles Rams

Tom Brady Makes Announcement On Next Season

<p>New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who has won more Super Bowls than any other quarterback, is serious about leaving the Patriots and playing for another team, according to sources who <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28793123/sources-tom-brady-open-new-home-free-agency">spoke to ESPN.</a></p>
<p>ESPN reported that Brady “is currently operating under the belief that he will enter free agency to play somewhere other than New England next season, a sentiment the quarterback has shared with others, sources told ESPN&#8217;s Jeff Darlington.”</p>
<p>Darlington reported that Brady, who has filed for free agency, and Patriots head coach Bill Belichick are supposed to meet, but a date has not been set; Brady is forbidden from negotiating with other teams until the NFL&#8217;s legal tampering period opens March 16.</p>
<p>Brady’s 20 seasons with Belichick are an NFL record for a coach and a quarterback. ESPN noted, “One reason why the Patriots and Brady haven&#8217;t had any contract discussions is the uncertainty surrounding the collective bargaining agreement, sources told ESPN&#8217;s Adam Schefter. Once that is known, Belichick and Brady can discuss everything, including how a contract could be structured.”</p>
<p>Teams with a reported interest in Brady include the New York Giants, the Tennessee Titans, the Los Angeles Chargers, the Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders. NFL Network&#8217;s Michael Girardi tweeted, “Spoke with a number of NFL people over the last 36 hours or so here in Indy, The initial reaction has been ‘there&#8217;s no way Tom Brady is leaving New England,’ but as you dig deeper, execs/coaches/scouts see the Titans, Raiders and Giants as possible suitors.”</p>
<p>NFL.com added, “NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday Brady&#8217;s representation is meeting with clubs this week during the NFL Scouting Combine, and the Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders and Indianapolis Colts are among those clubs … <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/patriots/tom-bradys-case-are-nfl-tampering-rules-made-be-broken">NBC Sports Boston&#8217;s Tom Curran</a>, however, reported earlier this month that the Patriots are unlikely to file tampering charges against teams talking to Brady&#8217;s reps ahead of free agency, and actually are OK if clubs go that route so that Brady can have an accurate idea of his market before talking to the only team he has played for.”</p>
<p>Rapoport said on NFL Now, &#8220;It&#8217;s not surprising — there&#8217;s no CBA. The Patriots have no reason to negotiate now. It&#8217;s probably going to come closer to when the tampering window opens.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although the Giants already have quarterback Daniel Jones, who as a rookie in 2019 completed 61.9% of his passes for 3,027 yards and 24 touchdowns, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8052283/Report-Giants-join-potential-Brady-suitors.html">The Daily Mail</a> reported, “First-year head coach Joe Judge would not commit to Jones as his starter earlier this week at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Judge also has a relationship with Brady, having spent the last eight seasons on Bill Belichick&#8217;s coaching staff in New England.”</p>
<p>The Titans may have an inside track, too, as Titans head coach Mike Vrabel played for the Patriots in New England, where he caught a touchdown pass from Brady in Super Bowl XXXVIII, even though he was normally a defensive lineman. Additionally, the Titans are already of playoff caliber, having defeated the Patriots in the 2019 playoffs.</p>
<p>Brady has won six Super Bowls; in 2019, still playing quarterback at the astonishing age of 42, he threw for 4,057 yards with 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions.</p>


Tom Brady Serious About Leaving Patriots, Report Says

<p>ESPN reported on Sunday that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, arguably one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game, could soon be headed to play football in the desert.</p>
<p>ESPN&#8217;s Adam Schefter <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28618368/sources-raiders-pursue-tom-brady-qb-becomes-free-agent">reported</a>, &#8220;The Raiders are poised to pursue quarterback Tom Brady if he doesn&#8217;t re-sign with the Patriots before free agency begins, league sources told ESPN.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Whether the Raiders can lure Brady to Las Vegas, as their quarterback and biggest draw, remains uncertain,&#8221; ESPN added. &#8220;Patriots owner Robert Kraft has expressed how much he wants Brady to return to New England, and there will be more talks with the team before the free-agent period.&#8221;</p>
<p>Schefter said that Raiders head coach Jon Gruden is a long-time fan of Brady, and noted that adding Brady to the roster would be a huge move to legitimize the team as they move from Oakland to Las Vegas.</p>
<p>&#8220;Brady, 42, visited Las Vegas last month for UFC 246 and crossed paths with Raiders owner Mark Davis,&#8221; ESPN continued. &#8220;Photos of Brady and Davis together generated predictable buzz on social media, highlighting how Brady&#8217;s future is not just arguably the biggest story of the upcoming NFL offseason, but perhaps in all of sports.&#8221;</p>
<p>ESPN noted that a revised contract that Brady signed with the Patriots in August prevents the team from sticking him with the franchise tag, which enables Brady to have more control over the remainder of his NFL career.</p>
<p>Brady tweeted out a photograph of himself, his head coach, and other notable Patriots players on Sunday at the Super Bowl at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The New England Patriots outlined just a few of Brady&#8217;s career highlights in their biography of him:</p>
<ul>
<li>Brady is an 18-time Patriots team captain, elected to the position by his teammates every season since 2002.</li>
<li>Three-time NFL MVP (2007, 2010 &amp; 2017), tied with Jim Brown, Brett Favre and Johnny Unitas for second-most all-time to Peyton Manning&#8217;s five.</li>
<li>Brady won his third career NFL Most Valuable Player Award in 2017, becoming the oldest player in NFL history to win the award at age 40.</li>
<li>Brady&#8217;s 239 career wins combined in the regular season and playoffs are the most all time by an NFL player. He surpassed Peyton Manning (200) in New England&#8217;s win vs. L.A. Rams (12/4/16) to become the NFL&#8217;s all-time winningest quarterback.</li>
<li>His 209 regular-season wins are also most in NFL history. He passed Brett Favre and Peyton Manning with his 187th career regular-season win in the victory at N.Y. Jets (10/15/17).</li>
<li>Brady&#8217;s 116 career regular-season wins at home and 93 victories on the road are also NFL records.</li>
<li>Brady is the first quarterback in NFL history to lead his team to six Super Bowl wins, surpassing Terry Bradshaw (4) and Joe Montana (4).</li>
<li>The Patriots have qualified for 11 Super Bowls in franchise history, nine with Brady at the helm. His nine Super Bowl appearances are more than Dallas (8), Denver (8) and Pittsburgh (8) have played in during the Super Bowl era.</li>
</ul>
<p>Brady was drafted in the sixth round of the NFL draft, 199th overall, in 2000 and has spent his entire career with the Patriots.</p>


Wild Card Round &#8211; Tennessee Titans v New England Patriots

Tom Brady Could Soon Be Playing For A New NFL Team, ESPN Reports

Football

<p>Though one of his fellow anthem-protesting former teammates has dismissed it as a &#8220;PR stunt,&#8221; Colin Kaepernick, former quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, is set for a private workout this Saturday in Atlanta with representatives of various NFL teams, among them the New England Patriots.</p>
<p>The development is the closest Kaepernick has come in years to getting back into the league after opting for free agency following the 2016 season, in which he started the league-disrupting National Anthem protest movement and his team finished with a miserable <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/schedule/_/name/sf/season/2016">2-14 record</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll believe it when I see it,&#8221; former 49ers free safety Eric Reid, who&#8217;s now with the Carolina Panthers, said Wednesday. &#8220;At this point, it feels like a PR stunt.&#8221;</p>
<p>But New England Patriots&#8217; star quarterback Tom Brady had a far less cynical response Thursday night.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think being a pro quarterback is very challenging in and of itself,&#8221; Brady <a href="https://westwoodonesports.com/2019/11/tom-brady-on-colin-kaepernick-playing-until-47-and-more/">told</a> Westwood One Sports&#8217; Jim Gray. &#8220;To have time off is a challenge, but Colin’s overcome a lot of challenges in his career, and he’s always found a way to produce. He’s very mentally tough, and I think it’s pretty cool that he’s getting that opportunity.&#8221;</p>
<p>In its report on the comments, <a href="https://boston.cbslocal.com/2019/11/15/tom-brady-colin-kaepernick-new-england-patriots-nfl-workout/">CBS Boston</a> notes that Brady has expressed his support of Kaepernick in the past, telling <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuQjouof8TQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CBS</a> in 2017 that he would like to see Kaepernick return to the league.</p>
<p>Amid reports out of ESPN that Kaepernick will not know for sure who will be attending the event Saturday, the NFL confirmed Thursday that at least 11 teams will be at the workout, among them Brady&#8217;s Patriots.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are looking forward to Saturday&#8217;s workout with Colin,&#8221; the league said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL345/status/1195086455816826889">statement</a> posted on social media Thursday. &#8220;Eleven teams — Arizona, Atlanta, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Miami, New England, New York Giants, New York Jets, Tampa Bay, and Washington — have already committed to attend, and it&#8217;s only Thursday. With two days remaining until the workout, we expect additional teams to commit. Former NFL Hue Jackson will lead the drills, and former NFL coach Joe Philbin will be in attendance as well. We will send video of the workout and interview to all 32 teams, including head coaches and general managers.&#8221;</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28074313/colin-kaepernick-know-attend-workout-ahead">ESPN</a>&#8216;s sources, when Kaepernick and his representatives were first notified by the NFL about the workout on Tuesday, &#8220;the quarterback&#8217;s reps asked for the workout to be on a Tuesday, which typically is when NFL workouts take place because head coaches and general managers can attend more easily.&#8221; However, the league said the workout needed to be held on this Saturday and offered no reason for not pushing the deadline back to allow more teams to come.</p>
<p>Kaepernick began what would turn into a multi-year controversy in the preseason of 2016, when he began refusing to stand for the performance of &#8220;The Star-Spangled Banner&#8221; before games. Asked why he wouldn&#8217;t stand, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/san-francisco-police-union-slams-kaepernick-his-james-barrett">said</a>, &#8220;I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.&#8221;</p>

Tom Brady Weighs In On Latest Developments With Kaepernick, NFL

Social Justice

<p>Apparently, New England Patriot&#8217;s quarterback Tom Brady&#8217;s popularity has nothing to do with his six Super Bowl rings and his 14 Pro Bowl picks; it has everything to do with a resurgence of white supremacy, according to University of Rhode Island (URI) professor Kyle Kusz.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=13765">Campus Reform</a>,  English professor Kusz dedicated a whole chapter to Tom Brady&#8217;s whiteness in his recent book, &#8220;The Palgrave Handbook of Masculinity and Sport,&#8221; in which he alleged that the quarterback gained popularity due to  the &#8220;latest wave of white rage and white supremacy&#8221; that developed during the Obama presidency, culminating in the election of President Trump. At one point, Kusz even goes so far to claim that a 2015 Under Armour commercial featuring Brady would have been straight out of a Leni Reifenstahl propaganda film. Campus Reform provided further details of this bizarre theory:</p>
<blockquote><p>The professor’s work analyzes Brady in two ways: his representation in the media and his &#8220;relationship with Trump,&#8221; seeking to determine what these factors can &#8220;tell us about the specific ways that white masculinity is being re-coded and re-centered in post-Obama American culture.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kusz zeroes in on &#8220;the complex racial, gender, and class meanings that have been articulated with Brady’s body and his performances of white masculinity in the context of a backlash against the Obama presidency&#8221; and of &#8220;Trumpism,&#8221; which he claims is also rooted in both race and gender.</p>
<p>In addition to Brady’s representation as the epitome of &#8220;omnipotent, white masculinity&#8221; in his various media appearances, advertisements, and movie cameos, Kusz also focuses on Brady’s public image as it relates to what he calls &#8220;American myths of meritocracy and individualism,&#8221; which he says are &#8220;commonly used in sporting adverts.&#8221;</p>
<p>Among other media appearances, he specifically cites Brady’s appearance in a 2015 Under Armour commercial, which he claims &#8220;would not seem out of place in Leni Reifenstahl’s infamous Nazi propaganda film, &#8220;Triumph des willens,’&#8221; because of its military references and red and black colors.</p></blockquote>
<p>Speaking with Campus Reform, Kusz said that the Under Armour commercial is what triggered his investigation into Brady&#8217;s relationship with whiteness. He also felt particularly triggered by a Beautyrest mattress commercial that framed the football star from a low camera angle to give him an imposing presence.</p>
<p>&#8220;I decided to research Trump and Brady&#8217;s public performances of their white masculinities and how they connect with broader debates about race and gender politics after a student in one of my classes brought the UnderArmour commercial to my attention and it piqued my interest,&#8221; Kusz said. &#8220;In each of these sites, Brady is figured as an unconflicted and unapologetic embodiment of upper-class white exceptionality and manly omnipotence.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kusz also told Campus Reform that he became fascinated by the supposed idolatry of Brady upon his moving to New England.</p>
<p>&#8220;After moving here for work I became fascinated by the idolatry given to Brady, especially after Trump began to name-drop and use white sportsmen as surrogates during his 2016 campaign,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Kusz later cites Brady&#8217;s attendance at the almost exclusively white Kentucky Derby, noting that his guests often reflect his racial makeup, which Kusz finds repugnant due to the fact that Brady &#8220;plays in a sport where 67% of the players are African-American.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It is a vision of Brady as a wealthy, white man who unapologetically enjoys, and has even made a habit out of, spending time with other wealthy white men who treasure time ‘with the boys’ over all others,&#8221; said Kusz.</p>

College Professor: Tom Brady Popularity Due To ‘White Supremacy’

<p>Over the weekend, social media erupted with commentary after NFL star Tom Brady posted an Instagram video of himself jumping off a cliff into a pool below with his six-year-old daughter. The video was shot as Brady, his wife, model Gisele Bundchen, and their children visited a waterfall in Costa Rica, where the video shows six-year-old Vivian nodding as Brady asks her, “Ready?” Just as Brady jumps, Vivian hesitates, but holding her dad’s hand, winds up taking the plunge anyway. Brady wrote on Instagram, “If Vivi is going to be an Olympic champion one day, it probably won’t be in synchronized diving. Daddy always gives her a 10 though!” He added, “I didn’t want to be the first Brady to fall off a cliff!”</p>

<p>Brady’s post stirred up some strong disagreement; <a href="https://people.com/parents/tom-brady-leaps-off-waterfall-daughter-vivian-lake/">People</a> magazine reported, “Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry and Arizona Cardinals footballer Brett Hundley both commented with a string of crying from laughter emojis.” Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre wrote that Vivian got a “10” but Brady got a thumbs-down.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson <a href="https://people.com/parents/tom-brady-leaps-off-waterfall-daughter-vivian-lake/">wrote</a>, “You KNOW I have complete faith in you as a man, friend, player and father – but this just gave me anxiety.

Tom Brady Jumps Off Cliff With 6-Year-Old Daughter. Social Media Erupts.

<p>&#8220;Captain America&#8221; may cut ties with America&#8217;s most patriotic football team simply because the quarterback supported President Trump.</p>

<p>&#8220;I really hope he&#8217;s not a Trump supporter,&#8221; Evans told THR. &#8220;I&#8217;m just hoping he&#8217;s one of those guys that maybe supported him and now regrets it. Maybe he thought it was going to be different &#8212; and even that bothers me &#8212; but maybe there&#8217;s a chance now he just thinks Trump&#8217;s an absolute dumb sh**, which he is. If he doesn&#8217;t, if he&#8217;s still on that Trump train, I might have to cut ties. It&#8217;s really tough.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chris-evans-says-he-might-cut-ties-with-tom-brady-over-donald-trump_n_5c9bb2f4e4b08c450ccfc524">HuffPost</a>, the Boston native has long been a New England Patriots fan and is one of their fiercest promoters on social media. While Evans loves the team, he has never met Tom Brady and doesn&#8217;t have any plans to.</p>
<p>Though Brady admitted his Trump support in 2015, which was followed by an endorsement from coach Bill Belichick on the eve of the 2016 election, Brady&#8217;s open support of the president has wavered throughout Trump&#8217;s White House tenure. During the NFL National Anthem kneeling controversy, Brady openly distanced himself from President Trump&#8217;s criticism of the kneelers.</p>
<p>&#8220;I respect why people are doing what they are doing. And they&#8217;re doing it for different reasons, and that&#8217;s okay,&#8221; Brady <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/tom-brady-thought-great-players-knee-national-anthem/story?id=55926258">told Oprah Winfrey</a> in 2018. &#8220;You know, you can do things for your reason. They can do things for their reason, and you have respect for that. But, I thought it was great.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been playing sports long enough [to know] everyone comes from something different, and I think showing respect for everybody, in a locker room, with a team of guys trying to go in the same direction &#8212; you better have that empathy for everybody. That&#8217;s what sports are about,&#8221; he continued.</p>
<p>In 2017, Brady outright called President Trump&#8217;s rhetoric regarding the National Anthem kneelers &#8220;divisive.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think everyone has the right to do whatever they want to do. If you don&#8217;t agree, that is fine. You can voice your disagreement, I think that is great. It&#8217;s part of our democracy. As long as it is done in a peaceful, respectful way, that is what our country has been all about,&#8221; Brady said <a href="http://www.weei.com/blogs/ryan-hannable/tom-brady-kc-i-certainly-disagree-what-donald-trump-said" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">during a radio show appearance</a>.</p>
<p>In the same interview with THR, Evans said that he would willingly alienate half of his audience if it means criticizing President Trump. &#8220;You don&#8217;t want to alienate half your audience,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But I&#8217;d be disappointed in myself if I didn&#8217;t speak up. Especially for fear of some monetary repercussion or career damage &#8212; that just feels really gross to me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Evans wishing to sever himself from Trump supporters to the point of alienating &#8220;half of his audience&#8221; follows the actor coming under <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/44519/captain-america-chris-evans-gets-slammed-daring-emily-zanotti">criticism</a> earlier this month from progressive trolls for daring to meet with conservative Congressman Dan Crenshaw.</p>


Chris Evans Might ‘Cut Ties’ With Tom Brady For Trump Support, Willing To Alienate Fans

Chris Evans

<p>The arguably best quarterback to ever play the game revealed Thursday that he has been engaged in a &#8220;kind of crazy&#8221; pre-game ritual for years that he and his self-described &#8220;good witch&#8221; wife believe has helped him in his remarkable run.</p>
<p>New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is famous not only for his handful of Super Bowl rings (actually, he just ran out of fingers this year, earning his sixth), but also for his tireless, meticulous approach to training and practice. But while some of his theories on &#8220;pliability&#8221; and extreme hydration have been public knowledge for a few years, his new age pre-game ritual hasn&#8217;t gotten much attention.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve learned a lot from my wife over the years,&#8221; Brady told an audience during a shave for charity event Thursday at Gillette&#8217;s World Shaving Headquarters in Boston (video below via <a href="https://boston.cbslocal.com/2019/02/07/tom-brady-gisele-bundchen-superstitions-super-bowl-stones/">CBS Boston</a>). &#8220;She&#8217;s so about the power of intention, you know, and believing things that are really going to happen.&#8221;</p>
<p>Her focus on the &#8220;power of intention&#8221; and &#8220;believing things&#8221; in advance isn&#8217;t just some philosophical perspective, he made clear in his folllow-up comments: it&#8217;s mystical. Before games, said Brady, his wife Gisele Bunchen &#8220;always makes a little altar for me at the game because she just wills it so much.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So she put together a little altar for me that I could bring with pictures of my kids,&#8221; he explained, &#8220;and I have these little special stones and healing stones and protection stones and she has me wear a necklace and take these drops she makes. I say all these mantras,&#8221; he added, amid laughs from the crowd.</p>
<p>&#8220;I stopped questioning her a long time ago,&#8221; he said to more laughs from fans. &#8220;I did. I just shut up and listened.&#8221; Saying he thought at first that it was all &#8220;kind of crazy,&#8221; he ended up just going with it.</p>
<p>But the altar and the mystical power stones aren&#8217;t all the tricks Bundchen has up her &#8220;good witch&#8221; sleeves, according to the superstar. Brady says she&#8217;s accurately predicted the outcome of recent seasons.</p>
<p>&#8220;About four years ago, we were playing the Seahawks and she said, &#8216;You better listen to me, this is your year, but this is all the things you&#8217;re going to have to do to win.&#8217; And I did all those things, and by God, you know, it worked,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>He noted that she also accurately predicted that he wouldn&#8217;t win the championship in 2015, saying, &#8220;You know I love you, but this is not going to be your year.&#8221; When he asked about 2016, she said, &#8220;2016 is going to be your year.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So it was early January this year, and I said, babe, I&#8217;m asking: do we have a chance?&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And she said, &#8216;Yeah, but you&#8217;re going to have to do a lot of work, and you&#8217;re really going to have to listen to me.'&#8221;</p>
<p>After he won yet another ring in January, he said she told him, &#8220;You&#8217;re lucky you married a witch &#8211; I&#8217;m just a good witch.&#8221;</p>

Here’s The ‘Kind Of Crazy’ Ritual Tom Brady’s ‘Good Witch’ Wife Has Him Doing Before Games

<p>After taking down the Los Angeles Rams on Super Bowl Sunday, multiple players on the New England Patriots have already said that they have no interest in a White House visit.</p>
<p>Caught up with by a reporter from TMZ following the Sunday win, New England safety Duron Harmon said he won&#8217;t visit President Donald Trump in the White House because he&#8217;s supposedly not wanted there.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nah, man,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2019/02/04/duron-harmon-patriote-white-house-trump/">told</a> TMZ, when asked about a visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. &#8220;They don&#8217;t want me in the White House.&#8221;</p>
<p>However, Harmon did say that he&#8217;d love to meet Trump&#8217;s predecessor, Barack Obama.</p>
<p>&#8220;That would be dope,&#8221; the safety said. &#8220;Hey, Obama, come holler at me, man. We love you over here.&#8221;</p>
<p>The McCourty brothers, too, are uninterested in a White House visit.</p>
<p>Devin McCourty, a defensive back, and his twin brother Jason McCourty, a cornerback, told the Associated Press on Monday that they won&#8217;t be making the trip to Washington. &#8220;A day after the Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams for their sixth NFL title, Devin McCourty said flatly that he would not join the team for a White House visit,&#8221; <a href="https://pro32.ap.org/article/mccourty-twins-nix-white-house-visit-mum-retirement">reported</a> AP.</p>
<p>Jason was a bit more diplomatic about the decline. &#8220;I haven&#8217;t thought about it, but I highly doubt it,&#8221; he said. However, the report added that &#8220;Devin playfully accused him of lying and Jason agreed there was virtually zero chance he would go.&#8221;</p>
<p>When the Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2017, at least two dozen players were no-shows to the White House celebration, including quarterback Tom Brady, who caught heat for having an iconic &#8220;Make America Great Again Hat&#8221; in his locker. Brady said he could not attend because of family matters.</p>
<p>As <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/19/sports/-new-england-patriots-visit-white-house-donald-trump.html">noted</a> by The New York Times, Patriots spokesman Stacey James pointed out that &#8220;34 players had attended, similar to the turnout when President George W. Bush hosted them in 2004 and 2005. He said that more than 45 players attended the ceremonies in 2002, after the franchise&#8217;s first Super Bowl, and that in 2015, when Barack Obama was president, the number of players approached 50.&#8221;</p>
<p>Last year, the Philadelphia Eagles were disinvited to the White House by President Trump after their Super Bowl win.</p>
<p>&#8220;President Trump has disinvited the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles from their planned visit Tuesday to the White House. The invitation was canceled over what Trump says is a disagreement on standing during the national anthem,&#8221; <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/eagles-white-house-visit-canceled-tuesday-trump-disinvites-philadelphia-eagles-super-bowl-champions-over-national-anthem-dispute/">reported</a> CBS News.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Philadelphia Eagles Football Team was invited to the White House. Unfortunately, only a small number of players decided to come, and we canceled the event. Staying in the Locker Room for the playing of our National Anthem is as disrespectful to our country as kneeling. Sorry!&#8221; Trump wrote in a tweet.</p>

<p>&#8220;They disagree with their president because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country,&#8221; a statement from the president said.</p>
<p>Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said rescinding the invitation &#8220;only proves that our president is not a true patriot, but a fragile egomaniac.&#8221;</p></p>


HERE WE GO: These Patriots Players Already Refusing White House Visit After Super Bowl Win

Bill Belichick

New England Patriots

Sports

White House

<p>If you were tuning in to watch a shootout between the best quarterback ever and the high-powered offense of the leagues&#8217; youngest coached team, you were probably disappointed by Super Bowl LIII, which bucked the league-wide and years-long trend of offenses ruling the field and instead became an old school defensive battle over who could score more than 3 points. That doesn&#8217;t mean it wasn&#8217;t a thriller in its own way, of course, as the game was a one-score game all the way until the last minute of play-time.</p>
<p>The Sean McVay-coached Los Angeles Rams came into the post-season having only failed to score 30 points in 3 regular season games, but, with star running back Todd Gurley hobbled and Jared Goff looking a little shaky, the Rams&#8217; offensive production slowed down in the post-season. They managed to score 30 against the Dallas Cowboys, but it took overtime for the Rams to get to 26 to defeat the New Orleans Saints in the conference championship. But Bill Belichick, as usual, had the perfect game plan for the Rams&#8217; formerly formidable offense, holding them to just 3 points after gaining just <a href="http://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=401038115">62 yards</a> on the ground and 198 in the air.</p>
<p>The Patriots fared better, though they certainly fell far short of their performances in the preceding playoff games. After torching the Los Angeles Chargers 41-28 in the divisional game and then amassing 37 against the Kansas City Chiefs in the conference championship, the Pats managed to score just 13 points against the Rams &#8212; which turned out to be 9 more than they needed &#8212; running for 154 and throwing for 253. Brady went 21-35 with one interception and no touchdowns, which isn&#8217;t terrific, particularly for Brady&#8217;s lofty standards, but still bested Goff, who went 19 for 38 with one interception and no TDs. The MVP of the game was receiver Julian Edelman, who had 10 receptions for 141 yards and looked uncoverable for most of the game.</p>

WATCH: Here Are The Full-Game Highlights From Super Bowl LIII

<p>The Daily Beast is definitely pulling for one team to win Sunday&#8217;s Super Bowl, and its definitely <em>not </em>the New England Patroits.</p>
<p>In a bizarre, angry screed published Sunday morning, Daily Beast writer Colin Smith excoriated the Patriots for being &#8220;Team MAGA,&#8221; the living manifestation of &#8220;MAGA scum,&#8221; and, perhaps most bafflingly of all, &#8220;the preferred team of white nationalists.&#8221;</p>
<p>Clearly, Smith is rather miffed that the Patriots are making their eleventh appearance in the Super Bowl Sunday evening, and their fifth in six years, and he&#8217;s quite angry that Brady, coach Bill Belichick, and team owner Robert Kraft are allowed to compete, given that they are clearly &#8220;supporters&#8221; of President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Smith calls Brady, in particular, &#8220;unnerving,&#8221; because at a send-off rally, Brady led a chant of &#8220;we&#8217;re still here,&#8221; which sounded, to Smith, suspicously like &#8220;build the wall,&#8221; or &#8220;lock her up.&#8221; Brady, Smith insists with characteristic subtlety, is a &#8220;square-jawed grifter throwing red meat to the hogs at an alt-right rally, screaming at the libs who thought Nancy Pelosi and her gender warriors were gonna keep DECENT AMERICAN FOLKS from BEING HERE.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brady, Belichick, and Kraft have all committed the cardinal sin, Smith says, of being Trump supporters, though Smith&#8217;s evidence for their support is scant. A &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; hat appeared over Brady&#8217;s shoulder during a single post-game interview back in 2015, and Brady was clear at the time that the accessory was a gift from golf buddy Trump. Brady repeatedly refused to express any public support for Trump&#8217;s politics, and often suggested to reporters who asked, that while he liked Trump as a person, he and the then-presidential candidate &#8220;disagreed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Belichick wrote a &#8220;letter&#8221; to Trump that Trump often referred to in his campaign speeches. Kraft donated $1 million to Trump&#8217;s inauguration committee and got a &#8220;shout out&#8221; from Trump at the event (since then, though, Kraft has publicly parted ways with the president over Trump&#8217;s comments about NFL players kneeling in protest during the national anthem).</p>
<p>None of these are particularly egregious transgressions &#8212; except to Smith, who admits Kraft has distanced himself from Trump and that Belichick is a &#8220;robotic&#8221; force who &#8220;thinks only of football.&#8221; All Smith knows is, the Patriots are bad, and you might actually be racist for liking them.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8220;When you root for the Patriots, you are associating yourself with a virulent and revolting strain of politics that seeks to Make America Great Again &#8212; which is to say, white, European, English-speaking,&#8221; he writes.</p>
<p>Social media, of course, was having none of Smith&#8217;s sudden wokeness.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
<p>This passes for &#8220;journalism&#8221;? Who at the Daily Beast would let this appear? The media truly doesn&#8217;t understand how it continues to undermine itself. <a href="https://t.co/gYfoQT21CZ">https://t.co/gYfoQT21CZ</a></p>

Daily Beast Writer Smears Patriots As ‘The Preferred Team Of White Nationalists’

Racism

<p>On Wednesday, a Pittsburgh TV producer who decided to have a joke at New England Patriots&#8217; quarterback Tom Brady&#8217;s expense found out that the joke was on him: he was <a href="https://www.si.com/tech-media/2019/01/30/tom-brady-kdka-graphic-known-cheater-employee-fired">fired</a> after captioning a clip of Brady &#8220;Known Cheater.&#8221;</p>
<p>Michael Telek, 27, said his decision to use the &#8220;Known Cheater&#8221; caption on the 4 p.m. news show on Monday came from a desire to give Pittsburgh Steeler fans &#8220;a little wink.&#8221; He told <a href="https://deadspin.com/an-interview-with-the-local-tv-producer-fired-for-a-gra-1832202041">Deadspin</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>So, I&#8217;m a producer, I write the news and decide the order, choose what graphics show up, etc. For the 4 p.m. news, the kicker is usually soft and sweet. We get these packages that come down from corporate and it was just like, <em>Here are the two teams in the Super Bowl</em>, pretty boring. So I wrote the intro about the six rings and then changed it up. I mean, it&#8217;s Pittsburgh, we hate the Patriots, we hate Tom Brady, so it was a little wink for fans.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Telek was apparently referring to the Deflategate scandal in 2015, in which Brady was accused of cheating by ordering footballs to be under-inflated so they would be easier to throw.</p>
<p>KDKA released a statement saying, &#8220;&#8217;While fans are entitled to have personal opinions, we have a journalistic responsibility to provide unbiased reporting. The graphic that appeared Monday violated our news standards. The individual who created the graphic no longer works for KDKA-TV.&#8221;</p>
<p>Telek told Deadspin:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>So anyways, on Monday they said they were going to write me up and said it would be on my record. So I&#8217;m like, &#8220;Okay, cool.&#8221; Tuesday, I went to morning meeting as usual. After the noon news, as soon as that was over, no one was talking to me. So I realized something was wrong but I thought maybe there was an eight percent chance I get fired. They said at 3 p.m., we&#8217;re going to have a meeting. Then at 4:30 they actually sat me down &#8230; My manager takes me into the office, and she said that there had been an investigation. She said, &#8220;Because you did that deliberately, you no longer work at KDKA. Today is your last day.&#8221; So I said, &#8220;Okay,&#8221; and left. I went home and hung out with my friends. They set up a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/did-this-bring-you-joy?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=fb_co_shareflow_w&amp;fbclid=IwAR1iJSBKrdJYoKoEZgRu4NU3CCeOgAb7qKjBx0wbRoOCfHwTW6YsyP54KxM">Gofundme</a> for me.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Telek said he was &#8220;shocked, I think everyone pretty much was. Even some of my managers were like, &#8216;Oh, I feel sick about it.&#8217; I thought, &#8216;Well then don&#8217;t fire me.&#8217; But I&#8217;m not going to badmouth KDKA or anything, I liked working there and the people I worked with.&#8221;</p>
<p>There was plenty of positive reaction to Telek&#8217;s caption, as shown by <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6653867/Fired-TV-producer-Known-Cheater-graphic-says-wink-Steelers-fans.html">The Daily Mail</a>.</p>
<p>Telek said he had just bought a house in Pittsburgh, adding, &#8220;I&#8217;m stuck here now. Maybe I&#8217;ll try something different. I&#8217;ve always wanted to do investigative work and obviously I want to work in sports, so we&#8217;ll see.&#8221; Asked for a Super Bowl prediction, he answered, &#8220;I&#8217;m gonna bet on Tom Brady without a doubt. I love Tom Brady, I think he&#8217;s the best. It was supposed to be a little wink for all the Steelers fans. But apparently it went too far. The [Rivers] casino has a job fair on Saturday, so I&#8217;m going to be there. And I&#8217;m going to place a bet on the Patriots, because we&#8217;re connected forever now.&#8221;</p>


Pittsburgh TV Producer Fired For Calling Tom Brady ‘Known Cheater’: It Was ‘A Little Wink’ To Steelers Fans

Pittsburgh

Super Bowl

<p>&#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; actor Daniel Radcliffe says he won&#8217;t be rooting for Tom Brady and the Patriots in the Super Bowl next weekend because Brady was once pictured with a &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; hat in his locker.</p>
<p>The sight of the hat, which appeared in Brady&#8217;s locker during a postgame interview <a href="https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2015/09/08/tom-brady-talks-deflategate-fallout-relationship-with-gisele-friendship-with-donald-trump">in September 2015</a>, still haunts Radcliffe, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/daniel-radcliffe-slams-tom-brady-over-trump-support-and-maga-hat">Fox News reports</a>. Radcliffe admitted his aversion in an interview at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this weekend. He was there to promote his new TBS comedy, &#8220;Miracle Workers,&#8221; which follows Heaven&#8217;s office workers and aides to God, played by Steve Buscemi.</p>
<p>&#8220;The whole world is rooting against the Patriots &#8230; sorry,&#8221; Radcliffe said. &#8220;Take that MAGA hat out of your locker! I feel like that was the moment when as a country we were all like, &#8216;Come on, dude! You&#8217;re awesome&#8230;Don&#8217;t put that in here.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brady shouldn&#8217;t retire, Radcliffe added, but &#8220;he should stop winning things.&#8221;</p>

<p>Brady and Patriots fans probably aren&#8217;t much concerned about &#8220;Harry Potter&#8217;s&#8221; opinion, sadly for Radcliffe.</p>
<p>Brady told reporters back in 2015 that the hat was a gift from Trump for judging one of Trump&#8217;s Atlantic City beauty pageants. At the time, Brady told media that Trump frequently called to give him &#8220;pep talks,&#8221; <a href="https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2017/04/19/here-is-everything-tom-brady-has-and-hasnt-said-about-donald-trump">according to Boston.com</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>[Trump] sent it to me via [Robert Kraft]. I&#8217;ve know him since 2002 when I judged one of his beauty pageants. Imagine that, I was a judge at a Miss USA pageant in 2002. So, I&#8217;ve know him for a long time and he always gives me a call on different types of motivational speeches at different times.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Brady has been coy about any further support for Trump, however, telling reporters during the same interview that actually voting for Trump was different from golfing with him or sharing a meal with him.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I don&#8217;t know. Am I going to vote for him? That&#8217;s a good question. He&#8217;s a good friend and we&#8217;ve had a lot of time on the golf course together over the years probably not as much recently but in my younger days when I would have more time that I could spend doing those type of things before there were kids, we spent a lot of times golfing together and so forth. It&#8217;s pretty amazing what he&#8217;s been able to accomplish as an entrepreneur, and then really as a television star, and now running for political office. People who can do those types of things and can transition into different arenas and still have that type of appeal and carryover, he&#8217;s obviously appealing to a lot of people and he&#8217;s a hell of a lot of fun to play golf with.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Otherwise Brady has been relatively coy on his own personal politics &#8212; a smart move for a football player who has enough haters already, without hordes of social media social justice warriors in the mix.</p>
<p>Unlike Radcliffe, Brady seems to believe you can separate the personal from the political, even when it comes to Donald Trump.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to get into it, but if you know someone, it doesn&#8217;t mean you agree with everything they say or they do. You have a lot of friends in your life. I think there are things that are based in your own dealings with someone that is a personal dealing, not a public dealing. Because you have personal experiences.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Brady will face off against the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl on February 3.</p>


SAD: Harry Potter Actor Won’t Root For Tom Brady In The Super Bowl Over Trump Hat

</p>
<p>Following an overtime victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday during the AFC championship game, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady posted a video on his Instagram that is going viral.</p>
<p>The video, which co-stars tight end Rob Gronkowski, starts off by showing the two men silent but smirking as P. Diddy&#8217;s &#8220;Bad Boys for Life&#8221; plays in the background. Then the video shows Rex Burkhead scoring the winning touchdown, the final score of 37-31, the Patriots celebrating, and the words &#8220;Still here.&#8221;</p>

<p>In his post-game interview, the usually stoic QB couldn&#8217;t contain his excitement, even to the point of dropping an f-bomb.</p>

<p>Along with showing his excitement, Brady also demonstrated his class. Following the game, Brady went to the Chief&#8217;s locker room to see Chief&#8217;s quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Daily Wire&#8217;s Amanda Prestigiacomo <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42440/class-tom-brady-heads-chiefs-locker-room-after-ot-amanda-prestigiacomo">reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&#8220;After pulling off a classic Brady-style overtime win against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, the legendary quarterback demanded to see 23-year-old rising star Patrick Mahomes, the QB on the opposing team. Brady, as reported by ESPN&#8217;s Jeff Darlington, made it over to the Chiefs&#8217; locker room to speak to Mahomes after their loss.</p>
<p>&#8220;Tom Brady just quietly approached a security guard waiting outside the Chiefs&#8217; locker room &#8212; and asked if he could see Patrick Mahomes. Brady was escorted into a room where he spoke briefly with him. A very clear display of respect from one incredible quarterback to another,&#8221; reported Darlington.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>&#8220;I just went and saw him,&#8221; Brady told Peter King of Football Morning In America. &#8220;I mean, he&#8217;s feeling like you think he&#8217;d feel when you lose a game like this. It hurts. He&#8217;s a hell of a &#8230; I mean, what a great young player. So impressed with his poise, his leadership. He is spectacular.&#8221;</p>
<p>The win marks Brady&#8217;s third trip to the Super Bowl in a row and his ninth overall. </p>
<p>The Los Angeles Rams defeated the New Orleans Saints 26-23 for the NFC title game, also in overtime on Sunday.</p>
<p>The Patriots will face the Rams in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday, February 3, where Brady and Bill Belichick hope to win their sixth Lombardi Trophy. </p>
<p>Last month, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/39717/tom-brady-done-after-season-he-sure-doesnt-sound-james-barrett">reported</a> that despite the rumors, Brady has made clear he has no plans to retire anytime soon:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&#8220;I absolutely believe I will,&#8221; the 41-year-old said when asked if he will return next year (transcript via <a href="https://boston.cbslocal.com/2018/12/26/tom-brady-future-plans-to-play-in-2019-patriots-nfl/">CBS Boston)</a>. &#8220;I know I&#8217;ve talked about it for a long time; I have goals to not only play next year, but beyond that. I&#8217;m going to try to do it as best I possibly can. I&#8217;m going to give it everything I have, like I always have. It will certainly be a challenge. I don&#8217;t take any of these things for granted, but I hope I can keep playing, and I hope I can keep playing at a championship level.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brady said that after almost two decades in the league, he continues to view football as the greatest &#8220;gift&#8221; in his life.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been able to be in a career for 19 years that I love,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I wake up every day excited to go to work. I wake up every day fulfilled with what I&#8217;m doing. I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s any greater gift in my life than to have that. Along with that has come a lot of other very cool opportunities, but in my heart and soul, I love playing the sport of football, and it&#8217;s brought me so much joy in my life. It tests you in so many ways.&#8221;</p>
<p>He continued: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been dealing it for a long time. There&#8217;s anxiousness and nerves, and joy and happiness. There&#8217;s disappointment and frustration. The emotions run the gamut. But if you can stay and build your mental toughness, it&#8217;s just been incredibly rewarding. I&#8217;m a very, very lucky man.&#8221;</p>

<p>On Sunday, President Donald Trump congratulated the Patriots following the win. &#8220;Congratulations to Bob Kraft, Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the entire New England Patriots team on a great game and season,&#8221; Trump tweeted. &#8220;Will be a fantastic Super Bowl!&#8221;</p>

Tom Brady Post-Game Video Goes Viral

<p>Although I&#8217;m personally a fan of New England Patriots&#8217; quarterback Tom Brady, I get the impulse to hate the guy. He&#8217;s kicked your team&#8217;s butt on more than several occasions &#8212; maybe in heartbreaking two minute-drive fashion &#8212; he&#8217;s <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2019/01/21/gisele-bundchen-celebrates-tom-brady-new-england-patriots-afc-championship-super-bowl-2019/2635901002/">married</a> to a supportive, smoking hot Victoria&#8217;s Secret super model, and he&#8217;s a handsome freak of nature who models <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=tom+brady+ugg+boots&amp;rlz=1C1CHZL_enUS743US743&amp;tbm=isch&amp;source=iu&amp;ictx=1&amp;fir=jTFTV2u6Xd_pAM%253A%252CepinCo1tlavEVM%252C_&amp;usg=AI4_-kQ2QaFLlIxH_8X1N_4pV9nipYbTow&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiojer-y__fAhWrTN8KHb0_ATIQ9QEwAXoECAAQBg#imgrc=jTFTV2u6Xd_pAM:">Ugg boots</a>.</p>

<p>Brady later spoke to King about his feelings on heading to a <em>ninth</em> Super Bowl.</p>

CLASS: Tom Brady Heads To Chiefs’ Locker Room After OT Win. The Reason Why Will Begrudgingly Make You A Fan.

<p>With the New England Patriots looking increasingly pedestrian and a hobbled Tom Brady&#8217;s performance falling below his lofty MVP standard, many analysts have begun to wonder aloud if Brady&#8217;s decorated 19-year NFL career will finally end after this season.</p>
<p>In his weekly <a href="https://westwoodonesports.com/2018/12/tom-brady-on-a-10th-straight-division-title-and-more/">interview</a> Monday with Westwood One&#8217;s Jim Gray following the Patriots&#8217; victory Sunday, which clinched the AFC East for a record 10th straight season, Brady addressed the rumors about his retirement.</p>
<p>&#8220;I absolutely believe I will,&#8221; the 41-year-old said when asked if he will return next year (transcript via <a href="https://boston.cbslocal.com/2018/12/26/tom-brady-future-plans-to-play-in-2019-patriots-nfl/">CBS Boston)</a>. &#8220;I know I&#8217;ve talked about it for a long time; I have goals to not only play next year, but beyond that. I&#8217;m going to try to do it as best I possibly can. I&#8217;m going to give it everything I have, like I always have. It will certainly be a challenge. I don&#8217;t take any of these things for granted, but I hope I can keep playing, and I hope I can keep playing at a championship level.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brady said that after almost two decades in the league, he continues to view football as the greatest &#8220;gift&#8221; in his life.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been able to be in a career for 19 years that I love,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I wake up every day excited to go to work. I wake up every day fulfilled with what I&#8217;m doing. I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s any greater gift in my life than to have that. Along with that has come a lot of other very cool opportunities, but in my heart and soul, I love playing the sport of football, and it&#8217;s brought me so much joy in my life. It tests you in so many ways.&#8221;</p>
<p>He continued: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been dealing it for a long time. There&#8217;s anxiousness and nerves, and joy and happiness. There&#8217;s disappointment and frustration. The emotions run the gamut. But if you can stay and build your mental toughness, it&#8217;s just been incredibly rewarding. I&#8217;m a very, very lucky man.&#8221;</p>
<p>Asked about his reported MCL injury, which reporters say has hampered him this season, Brady said he&#8217;s &#8220;feeling good,&#8221; particularly compared to other seasons around this time.</p>
<p>Though the Patriots have not been the dominant team they&#8217;ve been in the past, they&#8217;ve continued to rack up wins. Their 10-5 record puts them only behind the Kansas City Chiefs (11-4), who, unlike the Patriots, still haven&#8217;t clinched their division yet, though they&#8217;re poised to do so. Below is the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/39695/nfl-monday-night-ratings-hit-new-low-below-trump-james-barrett">current playoff picture</a>:</p>
