tom brady takes hilarious shot at jets during patriots statue unveilin

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. August 8, 2025 / 7:30 PM EDT / CBS Boston Tom Brady's statue outside Gillette Stadium will remind Patriots fans of all the glory the team enjoyed during his 20-year career in New England. It will also remind opposing fanbases of the franchise's two decades of dominance, as Brady pointed out in Friday night's unveiling ceremony in Foxboro.

Brady did so by roasting an old opponent one final time, taking a jab at the New York Jets and the team's fans in his speech after the statue was unveiled. "In the end, this statue isn't just for Pats fans. It will also give Jets fans something to throw their beer at as they leave the stadium – probably in the second quarter," Brady said. "Maybe the third." Brady was 31-8 against the Jets during his career, which includes the regular season and the playoffs. The only team to suffer Brady's wrath more than the Jets were the Buffalo Bills, whom he went 33-3 against in his career.

On Friday, the New England Patriots opened up the preseason against the Washington Commanders. Before that, however, the Patriots decided to hold a huge ceremony for one of their franchise greats, quarterback Tom Brady. Brady, retired since 2023, was receiving a statue at Gillette Stadium to honor him after bringing the franchise six Super Bowl titles. Patriots fans love him, while those fans of the three other AFC East teams despise him with a passion. But one of those fanbases caught the proverbial stray from the future Hall of Famer. During his speech, Brady couldn't help to throw a shot at New York Jets fans, saying that this statue will give them something to throw their cans of beer at as they leave the...

It will also give all the Jets fans something to throw their beers as they leave this stadium every year. Probably in the second quarter. Maybe the third," said Brady. The New England Patriots unveiled a 12-foot-tall statue of Tom Brady ahead of their preseason opener on Friday, August 8.

Brady gave a speech following that ceremony, and he couldn’t help but take a shot at the New York Jets. “In the end, the 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... “It’s good to live rent-free in the GOATS head, lol,” one fan jokingly responded. “The Jets will forever be catching strays,” a fan predicted. 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.” Tom Brady, even though long retired at this point, is still beating up on New York Jets fans. The retired New England Patriots legend Brady officially had his statue unveiled outside of Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. (home of the Patriots) on Friday.

It is a 12-foot-tall bronze statue that features Brady holding his helmet in one hand and with his other hand in a raised fist. THE GOAT. IN BRONZE.@TomBrady | @NFL pic.twitter.com/Fm0TvQoOvH Brady marked the occasion by saying a few words in front of the crowd that had gathered for the unveiling ceremony at One Patriot Place. During his remarks, Brady got in a ruthless shot at fans of the New York Jets. “This statue isn’t just for Pats fans,” said Brady.

“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.” The feud between Tom Brady, and the New York Jets have been a long-storied, and sometimes hilarious one. Former Jets head coach Rex Ryan even cracked jokes about Brady during some of his Hollywood movie cameos. On the field, it was also a joke, in favor of Tom and his New England Patriots.

Much to the ire of Jets fans, Brady owned the Jets franchise during his playing days. Brady went an astonishing 31-8 versus the Jets during his career, 30 wins with the New England Patriots and one as quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At the unveiling of his statue outside Gillette Stadium, Brady took a quick shot at his Jets haters. Ever competitive, Brady took the amazing moment to take another dig at the maligned Jets organization that he dominated for so many years. .@TomBrady's statue is officially here 🐐 pic.twitter.com/IzxJ2nsYV8 Brady has gone on from the NFL to start a promising career as an NFL announcer.

He has much of the same insight that made former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo so popular in the booth. The quarterback has to break down defenses and understand offense to such a level that it is almost wild how well he and Romo can predict plays as the game unfolds. Decades of experience and thousands of hours studying film have Brady uniquely positioned to break down the nuances of an NFL game for fans. His deep understanding of strategy, combined with a charismatic presentation style, allows viewers to engage with the game like never before. Fans appreciate not only his thorough analysis but also the anecdotes and personal experiences he shares from his illustrious playing career, further enriching the viewing experience for everyone watching at home or in the...
