Tom Brady explained how he feels about his ‘GOAT’ nickname
–Jim Davis / The Boston Globe Tom Brady might be in the market for a new nickname.
The current Patriots quarterback sat down with former QB Scott Zolak this week for WBZ’s Patriots All Access to discuss what’s up next for the team — and he admitted, when asked, that he actually doesn’t like being called the “GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time).
“I don’t really like it, truthfully,” he said. “Well, I am [uncomfortable] because I don’t see myself in that way. That’s not a value I’ve ever put on me playing. I play for the enjoyment of the game, I play for the camaraderie with my teammates, and I play to win. I don’t play to be called a certain thing or compared to this guy.”
