COMMENTARY
Is this what Tom Brady has reduced us to; whining about being overlooked in an Instagram post?
Was Brady supposed to announce his retirement with a parade through the streets of the North End? Sign one of those idiotic one-day contracts with the Patriots? Give a speech atop the lighthouse tower at Gillette, dressed head-to-toe in L.L. Bean?
Please. Brady didn’t owe anything to New England, the place he called his professional home for two decades. The man won six Super Bowls while here. Isn’t that enough?
So count me among those who are not the least bit surprised that Brady, who announced his retirement (officially, this time) from the NFL in an Instagram post Tuesday, failed to mention the New England Patriots, Bob Kraft, Bill Belichick, Patriot fans, and Jim McNally by name over nine pages of gratitude.
