Tom Brady called Sunday’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers–Philadelphia Eagles game with a bit of that former high school MVP returning to his alma mater energy, with notes of back in my day we practiced twice a day, wore thinner helmets, walked uphill both ways and cooled down by drinking the sweat collected from our own socks. I also detected a few subtle jabs at Baker Mayfield, though I’m willing to chalk that up to Brady still trying to figure out when to talk and what to say, and me being a shameless pot-stirrer.
But the Brady-Mayfield spat, which, for the uninitiated, resulted from Mayfield commenting on the tightness the Bucs allegedly felt from having Brady around during his time there, and then Brady responding during Sunday’s game with, “Stressful was not having Super Bowl rings. … If I wanted to have fun I’d go to Disneyland with my kids.” That comment did bring a worthwhile thought to mind in the middle of Sunday’s 33–16 beatdown of the Eagles in Tampa (strange flex from Brady, by the way).
