Tom Brady: ‘You won’t catch me dead living in the Northeast anymore’

The chance for a Tom Brady return in New England is unlikely.

At face value, it was hard to believe the 43-year-old would go through everything in this transition, and then head back home to Foxborough. There were scenarios that made sense when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers began to struggle, but it just wasn’t likely.

Brady’s love for the weather is just one more factor to keep him grounded in Tampa. While speaking with reporters on Thursday, Brady spoke glowingly of the warm area he now lives in.

“The last couple of days have felt like early October mornings where I have been in the northeast for a long time,” Brady said, via Boston.com. “I’ve been loving wearing a hoodie for a couple days. It’s amazing to be at this point in the season and still be outside practicing. Today turned into a really nice day. I know we have a warm one coming up on Sunday.

“I always came down to Florida late in the year. We always played the Dolphins, they were in our conference, and it was pretty tough to adjust to. Just being in it really prepares you for the heat because it definitely takes a toll if you’re not used to it.”

Being born in California, it makes sense.

“I’ve loved being outside every day and I think being a native Floridian, I was a native Californian for a long time in my life and I went away from it for about 25 years, and you won’t catch me dead living in the Northeast anymore,” Brady said. “I am loving the warm weather. It’s been a great feeling.”

It’s time to fully move on and forward Patriots fans.
