43 years old... and contending for MVP status in the NFL

I’m a Boston native so the patriots have always had meaning to me. When Brady left I was stunned but in no way would I wish bad on the dude. Glad he is still breaking records. Bastard

I hear ya. 19 years is a lot, though. The guy made his career in NE, and isn't one of these "bounce-around" guys who know all the best restaurants in every major NFL city.

He needed a showcase for his talents, which I must say are remarkably intact at his ripe old age (it's not like he's a paunchy relief pitcher for the Red Sox)… and New England was just running short on supporting cast.

Brady's been incredibly effective given the revolving door of wide receivers and tight ends (until Gronk) he's had to deal with the last few years.

Seems Bostonians can separate their emotions when needed. When Favre left the Packers to go with the Jets it was somber. When he went to the Vikings, it was like he betrayed the NFL itself. It lasted so long that when he was inducted he was unsure if he would get booed.
Has Brady played the Pats yet or will?

I so enjoyed watching the 12-4 Vikings rip the Pac both times as a result of their treatment of him.

Nope. Not this year. Would've been a cool storyline though. The schedule makers should've tweaked it a little.

For many years I was a diehard redsox fan. I can’t tell you how many standing ovations I participated in for former Red Sox players who had changed teams. I always liked that. Shit, johny Damon came out and tipped his hat to the crowd in a Yankees uniform. There were some issues with Clemons but even he would get cheers from the crowd

So I imagine Bostonians will treat Brady well also. Hell... he gave them 6 Super Bowl titles. If not for that pesky Eli Manning he would've had 8.

Well gotta be realistic it’s not like there won’t be a smattering of boos for Brady leaving but Boston will never forget what he did. Now if he chooses to go into the hall of fame with anything other than a patriots jersey that could incite riots. I saw Clemens strike out 16 Red Sox at Fenway In a blue jays uniform, during the game he got some boos but at the end of the game all of Fenway cheered him.
