Speaking Monday morning on Kirk & Callahan, Tom Brady, who linked arms with some of his teammates to show unity during the anthem on Sunday, said he disagreed with what the president said.

“Yeah, I certainly disagree with what he said. I thought it was just divisive,” Brady said. “Like I said, I just want to support my teammates. I am never one to say, ‘Oh, that is wrong. That is right.’ I do believe in what I believe in. I believe in bringing people together and respect and love and trust. Those are the values that my parents instilled in me. That is how I try and live every day. I have been blessed to be in locker rooms with guys all over the United States over the course of my career. Some of my great friends are from Florida, Virginia, New York, Montana, Colorado, Texas. The one thing about football is it brings so many guys together — guys you would never have the opportunity to be around. Whether it was in college, and all the way into the pros. We’re all different, and we’re all unique. That is what makes us all special.”

I hate everything about Tom Brady.  His excellence including yesterday.  His 5 Superbowl Rings.  His Supermodel Wife.  His deadly good looks and inability to age.   His perfectly dimpled chin and his bank account.

Now you can throw taking a stance against his old friend and asshat President Donald Trump.  His relationship with Trump galvanized my disdain for him and the Patriots organization but Goddamn it, Brady just jerked this issue into the seats with the bases loaded.

I still hate him, but goddamnit, I respect him.

Opposing the most powerful dickhead in the world won’t be familiar with gun-toting high school dropout Americans that think Trump is their white trash, Gandhi.  Brady was smart enough to know that but stood up anyway as did Pats owner Robert Kraft:
