Thanks for the memories, Tom. Now go throw an interception.
That was the vibe from Patriots fans when Tom Brady finally took the field at Gillette Stadium during Sunday Night Football. After a weeklong build-up in which everybody cordially said all the right things, Brady was met with boos from the Patriots crowd when he finally took the field to lead the Buccaneers' offense.
It was a far cry from the pre-game reception, when Brady emerged from the tunnel to cheers from the stands.
The booing might have worked, as Tampa Bay's first drive ended with a punt from midfield.
