If Tom Brady stayed home, he wouldn’t have been treated like an intruder.
Following a recent incident in Tampa, where the former Patriots quarterback was kicked out of a park for violating the city’s stay-at-home order, Boston mayor Marty Walsh said Brady wouldn’t have faced the same embarrassment if he didn’t leave New England after two decades with the team he brought a record six Super Bowl titles.
“If Tom Brady stayed … There are some exceptions I would make and having Tom Brady throw a football, I probably maybe would have looked the other way on that one,” Walsh joked on The Greg Hill Show. “But he goes to Tampa Bay and that’s what he gets, getting thrown out of the park. So it serves him right.”
Brady, who signed a guaranteed two-year, $50 million deal to join the Buccaneers, was also jabbed by Tampa mayor Jane Castor.
“Tom, my apologies for the miscommunication when you arrived — not the best first impression,” Castor wrote in a letter posted to Twitter. “But given my law enforcement background, I couldn’t help but have someone investigate the sighting of a G.O.A.T. running wild in one of our beautiful city parks. … No harm – no foul, and thanks for being a good sport!”
