While the New England Patriots were nursing their wounds after a tough 29-13 loss in Super Bowl LX, Tom Brady was busy sending a congratulatory text to Seattle Seahawks coach Mike MacDonald on his championship victory. It's a move that echoes Brady's class and sportsmanship, even if it stirs mixed feelings among Patriots fans.
Brady's message was revealed during MacDonald's appearance on The Rich Eisen Show. "Tom Brady texted me. That was cool," MacDonald shared, adding a touch of humor by saying, "I did tell him, 'Hey, thanks for stealing our OC.'"
Brady, now a partial owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, had more than a passing interest in the Super Bowl. The Raiders had just hired former Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as their new head coach. Meanwhile, the Patriots, the team that immortalized Brady with a statue after six Super Bowl wins, watched from the sidelines.
Brady's legacy in New England is untouchable, a testament to two decades of unparalleled success. Yet, for those expecting him to remain solely a Patriots icon while juggling ownership duties with another team, this interaction serves as a reminder of his evolving role in the NFL landscape.
