Tom Brady made headlines during Super Bowl week for a surprising take on Sunday's championship game between the Seattle Seahawks and his former team, the New England Patriots.
While picking and pulling for the Patriots would seem like an obvious choice for the GOAT, Brady instead played things right down the middle on the Let’s Go! podcast with Jim Gray.
"I don't have a dog in the fight in this one," Brady said. "May the best team win."
Well, a couple of Brady's former teammates are pushing back on that comment. Fellow Patriots legends Vince Wilfork and Tedy Bruschi joined WEEI's Greg Hill, Jermaine Wiggins and Ted Johnson on Radio Row Wednesday and had no problem stating loudly who they're rooting for.
"That's bullcrap, Tom," Wilfork said. "That's bullcrap, Tom. Come on now. This ain't political. It ain't political. Raiders ain't in it. Say what it is.
"If you're a Patriot for life, you know what it is. Don't give me that political bullcrap. If you don't think we're gonna win, just pick Seattle then. Don't straddle the fence."
"That's the way Tom feels. I got a big-ass dog in the race," Bruschi said. "That's my boy right there. Vrabel, eight-year teammate, like a brother of mine. We've got a dog in the fight. My dog is big and I'm cheering for him."
