Patriots quarterback Tom Brady hosted a charity flag football game tonight. Afterward, he spoke to the media.
Predictably, he was asked about Michael Silver’s recent report regarding a “growing sense of disconnect” between Brady and the team.
“I don’t really want to talk about it a whole lot because there’s nothing anyone can solve, other than the team and myself,” Brady said, per Albert Breer of the Boston Globe. “There’s a lot of guys in my situation. So really I just want to focus on what’s coming up this week and I’m just excited to be back on the field with the guys.
“Things happen, some are out of your control. You just gotta go with the flow.”
He then was asked whether he’s disappointed about the pace of negotiations regarding a deal that expires after the coming season. “Really, I haven’t been thinking about it a whole lot,” Brady said. “It’s just part of the process. I love being out on the field with the guys, playing and that’s really where my focus is.”
Last time around, Brady gave the Pats a hometown discount. Since then, he apparently has realized that Boston ain’t his hometown.
