He won\u2019t be rooting for the Seahawks either.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\">Eleven years ago, Brady led the Patriots to an iconic come-from-behind victory over the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX. It was the fourth of the six championships he won with New England before closing out his career on the Buccaneers. Since his retirement, he\u2019s been inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame, had his jersey retired and had a statue of him built. Even so, the Fox commentator will not be pulling for his team of 20 years in its first Super Bowl since his departure.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">\u201cI don\u2019t have a dog in the fight in this one,\u201d Brady told Jim Gray on the <em>Let\u2019s Go! <\/em>podcast. \u201cMay the best team win. In terms of the Patriots, this is a new chapter in New England, and I\u2019m glad everyone\u2019s embraced the Mike Vrabel regime, all the amazing players that have worked so hard to get their club to this position. We did it for 20 years. There was a little bit of a hiatus in there, but the Patriots are back and it\u2019s a very exciting time for everyone in New England.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\">Brady also has a conflict of interest now that he\u2019s a minority owner of the Raiders, who are expected to hire Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as their next head coach after the Super Bowl concludes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\">\u201cYou have different chapters and moments that you go through where you\u2019re affiliated with a certain team at Michigan and then I was with the Patriots for 20 years, I was with Tampa for three amazing years. I\u2019ve been in broadcasting, now I\u2019m an owner of the Raiders,\u201d Brady noted. \u201cThose memories that I have are forever ingrained in me. &#8230; Now in a different phase in my life I root for people and people I really care about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">As for his prediction, Brady believes any team can win on any given day, but does feel if the Seahawks and Patriots faced off 10 times, Seattle would win six times while the Patriots would win only four times.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots are playing in the Super Bowl for the first time since Tom Brady left New England.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
