The Bucs’ ‘welcome home’ photo of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski really hurt Patriots fans

Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are together again after Tuesday’s trade that sent the un-retired tight end from the Patriots to the Bucs, meaning the two good buddies are teammates again for the first time since they beat the Rams in Super Bowl 53.

The Bucs, who have had one wild offseason, couldn’t be more excited about adding two legends who have a combined nine Super Bowl rings. The fact that the Super Bowl this season is in Tampa makes things even more interesting, if there’s a season, of course.

Tampa’s social team had fun with a decent photoshop image of Brady and Gronk and the message, “welcome home”:

Welcome home, @TomBrady & @RobGronkowski. #GoBucs pic.twitter.com/YRqwcEVzZ3

That hurt the feelings of some Patriots fans:

Um Home is Foxborough. They are only visiting .
