Tom Brady Senior is watching his son do what he does best – take a team to the Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl LV will mark Brady’s tenth appearance in the Super Bowl, but it will be the first without the New England Patriots, something Brady Sr. believes gives undesirable attention to coach Bill Belichick.
SUPER MATCHUP BETWEEN QBS MAHOMES, BRADY FOR THE NFL TITLE
“I think he’s in a tough spot right now,” he told the Boston Herald on Monday, before admitting that there was a sense of normalcy in his infamous divorce.
“Every year, teams cut people and people cut teams. Guys move. Quarterbacks move, be it Joe Montana or Brett Favre or Peyton Manning or whatever. It didn’t take long to know that at some point in time, there would be an end to Tommy’s relationship with the Patriots. ”
Brady and Belichick had something to prove at the start of the 2020 season – that they could both succeed, regardless of each other, after 20 years building a football dynasty.

Brady made it clear when he led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to their first Super Bowl since 2003, while Belichick struggled without a solid quarterback of his own.
Despite this, Brady Sr. said there are no hard feelings.
“They had a great 20-year season, the best season anyone has ever had. Without underestimating Bill in any way, I just think it was the time. It doesn’t minimize what Bill did. As we saw [on Sunday], coaches can ruin the game. ”
Brady Sr. also spoke about his son’s relationship with the Kraft family. Owner Robert Kraft contacted Brady to congratulate him after winning the NFC championship.

“Robert has been a spectacular owner for 25 years. He is sincere in his feelings for Tommy when he expresses his feelings, and vice versa,” he told the outlet. “Tommy feels the same way with Robert Kraft. He has an extraordinarily close relationship with him. I know that Robert is rooting for Tommy now. As I know Jonathan, Danny and the whole family. There is no doubt about it.”
Brady and the Bucs will face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday in a fight that will surely end in the battle of two great defenders.
Brady has won a record of six Super Bowl titles, four Super MVPs and three league MVP awards since he started in New England in 2001, while Mahomes is just starting with a league MVP, a Super Bowl MVP and is back to the title game for the second half.
