Along with numerous New England Patriots fans, Barstool employer Dave Portnoy is offering a huge “F * ck you” to Tom Brady for not pointing out the Pats in his retirement announcement.
The world of sports erupted on Monday when NFL GOAT Tom Brady, winner of an astonishing 7 Super Bowl rings, officially announced that he is retiring from the NFL.
Still, despite the avalanche of accolades that have actually come Brady’s way, it would not be a Tom Brady story unless there was an aspect of debate. And this time hate rolled in because Brady mentioned his newest group, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in his retirement notes on social networks, but didn’t name the New England Patriots. That in spite of investing many years more with the Pats than he finished with the Bucs.
Consequently, Brady has actually come in for some drubbing for appearing to snub the Patriots. And Barstool employer Portnoy is leading the charge.
Portnoy blasted Brady with several “F” bombs for snubbing the Pats.
In addition to his liberal use of the “F” word, Portnoy blasts Brady for “Tampa this, Tampa that,” included, “What did he play a hundred years in Tampa, dude you were there for 3 seconds.
“You wan na thank Tampa, fine, I didn’t see the Patriots when,” Portnoy stated of the various retirement posts Tom Brady posted.
“I don’t wish to make this about crying,” Portnoy continued dealing with Brady, “you’re not going to mention Mr. Kraft, Belichick, 6 Super Bowls, your whole f * cking profession generally in New England? You don’t state one thing? What the f * ck?”

Portnoy was barely alone in his pique at Brady’s move of not offering the Pats a shout-out. Lots of leapt to social media to excoriate the NFL excellent:

If Brady was that unpleasant in New England then why did he stay for twenty years? This is weird

Kind of ruined to leave out the team you spent twenty years with. He needs to be actually pissed at them lol. Bad move to neglect Patriot fans and teammates though

Regardless of how you feel today, what a fuckin terrible method to “honor” Brady’s profession. Simply a bunch of kids shrieking at eachother by means of keyboard. Grow the fuck up.

Possibly a separate post for the pats? Feels so wrong to leave them out like that.

Brady did, however, tell the Patriots Nation that he likes them:

It was also reported that Brady plans to appear at an event with the Pats to commemorate his retirement:
