tom brady thanks patriots fans with a beautifully written letter

He might be known for his quirky and fun Facebook posts, but on Wednesday, Tom Brady took a somewhat more traditional approach to the thank you letter. Rather than a typed out letter, he shared a photo of a handwritten note addressed to Patriots fans. Penned on personal stationary, the letter reads: "Thank you to all of our fans for the incredible support you gave us this season. I'm proud to call New England my home and to have the privilege of playing for your team. Our team fought hard all year, right down to the final play.

I'm proud of the effort we all put in to prepare each game as if it were our last. We never quit nor lost sight of what we were playing for. It's rare to have the honor of being on a team like that. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots fell to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, 20-18, in a battle of two legendary quarterbacks. While 39-year-old Peyton Manning said that this Super Bowl may be his last, 38-year-old Brady still has much more left in the tank, according to this letter he penned to the fans on Wednesday.

I’m proud to call New England my home and to have the privilege of playing for your team. Our team fought hard all year, right down to the final play. I’m proud of the effort we all put in to prepare each game as if it were our last. We never quit nor lost sight of what we were playing for. It’s rare to have the honor of being on a team like that. It takes a lot of hard work and commitment to get as far as we did.

Our goal every season is to win the last game, but as I’ve learned, the road to the next one is paved by seasons like this one. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — No emojis, no special fonts, not even a sentence in bold -- Tom Brady went old school to send a message to Patriots fans on social media. Brady wrote a hand-written letter to Patriots fans and posted a picture of it on Facebook. He wrote "Thank you to all of our fans for the incredible support you gave us this season.. I'm proud to call New England my home." As for not making the Super Bowl this year, Brady wrote, As I've learned, the road to the next one is paved by seasons like this...

As I sit down to write this letter, I am overcome with gratitude, emotion, and reverence for a chapter in my life that has forever impacted who I am – as a man and... This message is more than simply a perspective; it is a heartfelt dedication to the organization, the fans, and the whole Patriots community who have given me everything and more. You embraced me from the minute I came in Foxborough in 2000, as a tiny kid drafted 199th overall with nothing but belief and a willingness to work. You believed in me before the rest of the world did. You provided me the opportunity to compete, grow, and, ultimately, lead. For this, I am eternally grateful.

Thank you, Mr. Robert Kraft, for your unshakable trust and devotion. Your leadership fostered a culture in which winning was not only expected, but ingrained. You raised a family in New England, and I’m glad to have called it home. Thank you, Coach Bill Belichick, for challenging me, demanding the best from me, and pushing me to reach limits I had no idea existed. You instilled in me the discipline, mental toughness, and preparedness that would serve me well throughout my career.

I have unending respect for you. My teammates for the past two decades are my brothers. Each of you contributed to my path. We bled together in the frigid cold, celebrated on championship stages, and supported one other during difficult losses. Without you, there would be no MVPs, no Super Bowl rings, and no legacy. Just a kid attempting to make it.

On Sunday, the New England Patriots fell one game short of reaching the Super Bowl for the third time in five years. Now, with the focus is on the Super Bowl 50 matchup between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers, Tom Brady can temporarily fade off into the sunset that is the offseason. But first, Brady decided to pull out a fresh sheet from his personalized stationery and write a letter to Patriots fans, thanking them for their support, showing love for his teammates and more.

Tom Brady’s retirement has shocked the NFL and sports world, as we know it. As a Patriots fan, I am saddened but excited to see what the new NFL will look like without its greatest player in it. So, here’s a final note to the league’s most celebrated player from a Patriots fan and Patriots Nation. Thank you for everything. The countless wins, the heartbreaking losses, and the bonds that were created because of your commitment to the team and excellence on the football field. Your career defined consistency, and brought the whole New England region more joy than anyone could’ve imagined.

Let’s relive some of that joy in a few memories. The legend of the Patriots dynasty began during that game winning drive of Super Bowl 36 in the 2001-2002 season with the famous words of the late and great John Madden uttering, “What Tom... The young California kid with the biggest chip on his shoulder was trusted to win us our first Super Bowl, and we are still so proud of that. Six years and two more Super Bowl wins later in 2007, the NFL watched you win your first Most Valuable Player award as you threw for a then-record 50 touchdown passes and led the... The year ended with a heartbreaking Super Bowl loss that I think a lot of us would like to forget, but that doesn’t take away from the greatness and dominance that was shown week... This was a breakout season offensively and proved just how strong your prime was about to be for years to come.

We then watched you throw for an NFL record FIVE touchdown passes in one quarter in a snowy 59-0 blowout win over the Tennessee Titans in 2009. This came just 11 months after your year ending ACL injury the season before. This is a game most of us would never forget, because we knew our captain was back and better than ever as you put up a phenomenal season en route to winning the NFL’s... This season was filled with trials and tribulation, but showed that we were on the same track we were on in 2007 and the years before in having championship-caliber teams. Perhaps as old as his dinosaur laptop is New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s stationery. Nevertheless, it is the thought that counts in Brady’s heartfelt, handwritten thank-you letter to his fans.

He posted the message to his Facebook account.

Under a microscope, it appears he didn’t quite nail the word “privilege” in the fourth line.
