"Wilfork, who won two Super Bowls during his 11-year run with the Patriots, chided Brady for a "political" stance and mentioned Brady's role as a minority owner with the Las Vegas Raiders. "That's bull crap, Tom," Wilfork said during an interview this week with Boston radio station WEEI. "All that political -- this ain't political. It ain't political, what it is. Raiders ain't in it. Say what it is, what you see.""
"Brady, who led the Patriots to six victories in the Super Bowl and nine AFC championships, said during his podcast appearance that it was a "new chapter in New England" and that he simply wants "to see a good game" that includes "good plays, good throws, good strategy, good decisions." "We did it for 20 years," Brady said. "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.""
Tom Brady said he does not have a "dog in the fight" for this Super Bowl and offered "May the best team win." Former Patriots teammates Vince Wilfork and Rob Gronkowski reacted publicly, with Wilfork calling Brady's neutrality "bull crap" and labeling the stance "political," also noting Brady's minority ownership stake with the Las Vegas Raiders. Wilfork urged a clear allegiance if one considers oneself a "Patriot for life." Brady characterized the moment as a new chapter in New England and said he simply wants to see a good game with good plays and decisions.
