Brady, who is currently a Fox analyst and minority owner of the Las Vega Raiders, explained to Jim Gray on the Let’s Go! Podcast earlier in the week why he wouldn’t be pulling for the Patriots of Seahawks, who feature offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who’s expected to the Raiders\u2019 next head coach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I don’t have a dog in the fight in this one. May the best team win,” Brady said. “And in terms of the Patriots, this is a new chapter in New England, and I’m glad everyone’s embraced the Mike Vrabel regime, all the amazing players that have worked so hard to get their club to this position. We did it for 20 years. There was a little bit of a hiatus in there, but the Patriots are back and it’s a very exciting time for everyone in New England.”<\/p>\n

Aside from playing for the Patriots for 20 years, Brady had his number retired by the franchise and a statue of his likeness erected in his honor outside Gillette Stadium. Furthermore, one of his former Patriots teammates is current New England head coach Mike Vrabel and Brady’s longtime offensive coordinator was Josh McDaniels, who is currently the Pats OC.<\/p>\n

His no-dog-in-the-fight comment rubbed Patriots past and present the wrong way<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether Brady’s true sentiments have finally surfaced or he’s trying to calm some of the Boston-accented outrage is uncertain, but as of Friday night, Brady’s back in the Patriots’ corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brady, who is currently a Fox analyst and minority owner of the Las Vega Raiders, explained to Jim…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":735339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[1227,7,393,249,88,6,609],"class_list":{"0":"post-735338","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-around-the-nfl","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","11":"tag-new-england-patriots","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-no-minute"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116028593662179481","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=735338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
