“Enter the arena,” Brady captioned the post.
The video shows him on Monday at 6:10 p.m in his office watching the video of him take the field for the AFC Championship Game against the Jaguars in January. He yelled, “Let’s go!” as he ran onto the field prior to kickoff before going back and forth a little with Ramsey verbally as he ran up the sideline.
The video also shows a picture of Rob Gronkowski, who has been the target of trash-talk from Ramsey, as Brady’s voiceover explains the feeling of stepping into “the arena.”
-- As for Ramsey, he has added his grandma to his list of trash-talk targets.
He said on Thursday he “definitely would” hit his grandma on a football field if she lined up against him.
“To respect the game, you have to play it fierce,” Ramsey said. “I don’t believe in having friends on the field. I mean, my brother, my dad, my mom, grandma was out there, like it’s on. After the game, we can be cool. It doesn’t matter. That’s how I feel, like, you’ve got to respect the game of football. Football is not a game meant to be played being nice to each other and all that, like kumbaya. After the game’s over with, that’s cool.”
He clarified that he really would hit his grandma.
