After 22 seasons, veteran quarterback and former New England Patriot Tom Brady officially announced his retirement from the game of football on February 1, 2022. He was a 7-time Super Bowl champion.
The great Fitzy wandered into the Gilette Stadium parking lot this past week to ask tailgating Pats fans on what message they had for Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski as they return to New England this Sunday night. The dynamic duo led the Patriots to glory, so the emotions are running high as our guys, now our enemy, come back to the place where it all happened.
No biggie. Just the biggest regular-season game in the history of the NFL. Tom Brady, who spent 20 years and garnered six Super Bowl rings, comes back to Gillette to face his old team and the coach that many believe was the reason for his departure to become Florida Man. This is epic. Shakespearian. With the entire nation watching.
It's a spending spree like the Patriots have never seen! Some big moves today by Coach Belichick. This is the most money the Pats have ever spent in free agency. Things are certainly getting interesting in Foxborough, and it's only Day One of free agency.
If you watch the Patriots on TV or listen to them here on WBLM, you hear a roar of the crowd. We all know, of course, that it's piped in crowd noise. In fact, the crowd noise you hear during the game are from REAL PATRIOTS GAMES that are being played back. Hey if you were at a game last year, you may be hearing yourself! Woah...that's a trip. Anyhoo, in the actual stadium, during the actual game, there is no crowd noise. Yup, it's quiet. Tooooooo quiet. So quiet, if you are there will understand the real level of inappropriate trash talking that goes on!
