Tom Brady’s retirement announcement on Tuesday apparently ruffled a lot of feathers, largely because his announcement focused on closing the chapter in Tampa Bay, where the quarterback had obviously spent his final two seasons.
In Brady’s announcement, he thanked his Buccaneers teammates, the fans, the coaching staff, as well as their front office staff and ownership. He also thanked his agent and his long-time friend, Alex Guerrero, and finished things off by thanking his family and friends for their support.
However, any mention of the Patriots or anyone in New England was missing in the announcement, and that got people fired up.
