tom brady roasts jets fans at statue unveiling sporting news

If there’s one NFL legend who has earned a statue outside of his home stadium, it’s Tom Brady. He is the greatest of all time and it’s not particularly close, either. For many football fans, the title was his upon leading the New England Patriots back from a 28-3 deficit in Super Bowl LI to win his sixth ring. For everyone else, switching teams in 2020 and immediately winning a seventh ring was the point at which his greatness could no longer be denied, whether you love him or hate him. For New York Jets fans, it’s certainly the latter. It would be no surprise then if they didn’t bother to watch the Patriots unveil the Tom Brady statue in front of Gillette Stadium.

Why give any attention to the quarterback who racked up a 31-8 record against your team? Well, for the Jets fans who tried to ignore Brady’s big day, that likely became impossible when Brady got behind the mic and absolutely roasted Jets fans. After remarking that his statue would likely be a target for angry Jets fans to throw their beers at as they leave Gillette Stadium every year, Brady paused and delivered a brutal shot to... Still doing roasts: pic.twitter.com/X5zVTbRTKg Even the most ardent Jets fan has to admit that that was pretty funny. It can’t be said that Brady was wrong, either.

In 18 career homes games against the Jets, he lost just three times. Even worse for Jets fans, nothing has really changed even after Brady left New England, as they are still 2-8 against the post-Brady Patriots. Check out Tom Brady getting a ride from Jimmie Johnson at the Indy 500! Tom Brady had 30 victories in games against the New York Jets throughout his career and had one more zinger for Gang Green as his statue was unveiled outside of Gillette Stadium. The ceremony took place before the New England Patriots opened their preseason slate on Friday night against the Washington Commanders. Brady, widely considered to be the greatest quarterback of all time, won six Super Bowl titles with the Patriots.

While he will become a Hall of Famer soon, he will forever be immortalized in bronze outside the Foxborough, Massachusetts, stadium.

(Paul Rutherford/Imagn Images) The New England Patriots made legendary quarterback Tom Brady the first-ever player in franchise history to be honored with a statue outside of 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. The New England Patriots unveiled the first-ever statue of a player outside Gillette Stadium on Friday, and naturally, it was none other than Tom Brady. It was a chance to honor the quarterback who defined an era of Patriots football after more than two decades of success with the team. Brady was present for the big presentation, standing tall and proud as fans saw the monument for the first time. It showed him in a traditional celebratory position, holding a helmet in one hand and raising his fist to the sky.

As expected, Brady’s speech was equally heartfelt and playful. He thanked the fans for all their support over the years, saying how much it meant to him. However, it wouldn’t be a Brady speech without some jokes, and that’s precisely what he did, mentioning the New York Jets. “This statue isn’t just for Pats fans,” Brady joked, “it’ll also give Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium every year. Probably in the second quarter. Maybe in the third.”

💀💀@TomBrady | @NFL pic.twitter.com/xX00FMrJoY Years of dominance earned Tom Brady this jest for Jets fans. The Patriots unveiled a new statue for Brady outside Gillette Stadium, and Brady couldn’t help but poke a little bit of fun at Gang Green’s supporters. “But in the end, the statue isn’t just for Pats fans,” Brady said. “It’ll also give all the Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium every year. Probably in the second quarter.

Maybe the third.” Brady, of course, spent 20 incredible seasons with the Patriots in which he won six of his seven Super Bowl titles and cemented himself as perhaps the greatest player of all time. Those Super Bowls wins and three MVP awards with New England were just a part of the dominance, as Brady comfortably ran the AFC East, including posting a dominant 31-8 career record against the... Tom Brady was officially immortalized outside of Gillette Stadium as the Patriots unveiled a statue of him ahead of their first preseason game versus the Commanders. After leading the Patriots to six Super Bowl victories over 20 legendary seasons with New England, Brady became the first player in franchise history to receive a statue. THE GOAT.

"In the end this statue isn't just for Pats fans," Brady said during his speech. "It will also give all the Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium every year, probably in the second quarter, maybe the third." Tom Brady: "In the end, this statue isn't just for Pats fans. It'll also give all the Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium every year.

Probably in the second quarter." #NFL pic.twitter.com/b0zrqSTdeN https://t.co/Xyarfv7GP8 On Friday, the New England Patriots unveiled the statue of former quarterback Tom Brady outside Gillette Stadium. Brady played for the Patriots from 2000-19 and won six Super Bowls with the organization. Brady’s statue is 12 feet tall and made of bronze. He is the first player in Patriots history to be immortalized with a statue. After the unveiling of the statue, Brady reflected on his time with the Patriots while also taking a shot an opposing NFL fanbase.

“In the end, this statue isn’t just for Pats fans,” Brady said. “It’ll also give all the Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium every year. Probably in the second quarter.” .@TomBrady's statue is officially here 🐐 pic.twitter.com/IzxJ2nsYV8 Brady has plenty of room to talk trash to the Jets. He boasts a 31-8 all-time record against the AFC East rival.

Now, Jets fans will have to be reminded of Brady’s dominance over their team even when he’s not at Gillette Stadium in person. New England Patriots legend Tom Brady was immortalized with a statue on Friday night, and in the process he roasted the New York Jets. The bronze statue is situated outside of Gillette Stadium and features Brady raising his arm in the air while holding his helmet in the other hand. We've seen teams botch statues for players over the years, but this one looks to be well done. After the unveiling, Brady made a speech and just had to take a shot at the Patriots' AFC East rivals (if you want to call them that), who were absolutely tortured by Brady during... "But in the end, this statue isn't just for Pats fans," Brady said.

"It'll also give all the Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave this stadium every year. Probably in the second quarter, maybe the third." Brady absolutely owned the Jets during his career. The future Hall of Famer posted a 30-7 record against New York in the regular season. In all, he completed 62% of his passes for 9,059 yards and 60 touchdowns to 16 interceptions versus the Jets. FOXBORO, Mass.

— At some point, the New England Patriots will need to untether themselves from the past and move on from the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady years. But even so, those years were so good that occasional steps back in time remain dewy and sweet. So, yes, the Patriots chose Brady to be the first employee in franchise history to be honored with a statue. The unveiling took place Friday night at Gillette Stadium as an undercard to the Patriots’ preseason opener against the Washington Commanders, except that the undercard will be remembered long after the game has been... Brady made sure of that — not with any of the humble, aw-shucks remarks he delivered after the unveiling, but for the delicious one-liner he smooshed into the faces of long-suffering New York Jets... First, he rolled out a set-up line about how Patriots fans “earned every single one of these (Super Bowl) banners that fly above this stadium forever.”

He then paused for a half beat. Brady, remember, always did have great timing. “But in the end, this statue isn’t just for Pats fans,” Brady said. “It’ll also give all the Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium every year.”
