Tom Brady has seen his share of egos and big personalities over the course of his legendary NFL career. Brady has worked with diva receivers, selfish running backs, and even took the field with a murderer in Aaron Hernandez. The recent release of Antonio Brown is nothing he hasn’t dealt with in the past.
Tom Terrific spoke to the media on January 6th. Brady was asked about the recent official release of Antonio Brown by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady says he’s focusing on the games ahead of him.
“I think there’s a lot of personal feelings. I don’t really think this is really the week to discuss it though. I’m just going to do the best that I can do as the quarterback of the team and try to put together a great week (and) finish strong.”
I mean, you just always deal with different things over the course of the season. That’s what we’re doing this week.”
Antonio Brown was cut by the Bucs after an outburst in the middle of Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. The receiver took off his shirt and posed for the fans before walking off. Head coach Bruce Arians immediately said that Brown would no longer be welcome in the locker room.
Tom Brady isn’t going to let the incident take his sights off the true goal. Brady doesn’t go looking for drama, friendships, or controversy. Tom is just there to win another Super Bowl.
