Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady told us what he really thought about signing an intercepted ball he threw against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
While it was really sweet to see 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw ask for an autograph on a ball he picked off from Brady, it seems like ole Tampa Tom was being more of a friendly professional than a delighted elder statesman.
On his Sirius XM Let’s Go Podcast, Brady added some context to being asked to sign an intercepted ball. As you can probably guess, it wasn’t like being asked how many diamonds he wanted in his most recent Super Bowl ring.
Tom Brady was being a good sport after his INT 😅

Well, at least he’s being honest. For all of Brady’s faults and frustrations, it’s admirable of him to sign a ball that he threw for an interception after his football team got demolished on the road by 2022’s Mr. Irrelevant.
Brady will always be one of professional sport’s most confounding enigmas, but at the very least, he’ll sign a ball he threw for an interception. That has to count for something.
