The New England Patriots and Tom Brady will always be synonymous with one another. Brady brought home six Super Bowl championships to an organization who was lacking a championship pedigree. He helped completely change the culture in New England.
Today, the team unveiled their Brady statue. However, some fans weren’t too impressed.

Tom Brady became the first player in franchise history to receive a statue outside Gillette Stadium:
Brady took the opportunity presented to him Friday by the one-of-a-kind honor to take a jab at one of his biggest rivals from his playing days: the New York Jets.
Brady’s dig at the Jets came a speech he gave after the statue was unveiled.
“This statue isn’t just for Pats fans,” Brady quipped. “It will also give Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium ever year. Probably in the second quarter. Maybe in the third.”
While the Patriots haven’t enjoyed consistent success since Brady left the team during the 2020 NFL offseason, they have continued to perform well against the Jets. New England has posted an 8-2 record against their divisional rival in five seasons without Brady.
Here is a video of the unveiling:
