Tom Brady Was Booed At The Indy 500
Hey there, sports fans. This weekend, the racing event known as the Indianapolis 500 went down in — where else? — Indianapolis.
Tom Brady was there, and he was even introduced to the racetrack's massive crowd.
Now, the idea itself of a crowd of Indianapolis sports fans booing Tom Brady is not all that surprising. Back in 2014, the New England Patriots' playoffs victory over the Indianapolis Colts became a national controversy due to the "Deflategate" scandal, which you can read up about in this handy-dandy list right here.
Still, social media had something to say about it regardless:
Man, it's brutal out here.

Analyst projects that Colts Jonathan Taylor gets another big payday down the road
Indianapolis Colts' running back Jonathan Taylor still has two years left on his current contract, but could be in store for another big payday when he hits free agency in 2027. Anthony Holzman-Escareno of put together his 'All-Paid Team of Tomorrow,' and at the top of the running back position group was Taylor. Holzman-Escareno projects that Taylor could earn $21 million per year on his next deal. Advertisement "With the cupboard bare of running backs who are poised to legitimately challenge Saquon Barkley for the All-Paid crown, Taylor is shunted to the top of the list," wrote Holzman-Escareno. Taylor signed a three-year, $42 million extension with the Colts back in 2023. At that time, he was still just 24 years old, and when he's set to be a free agent again, he will still only be 28 years old at that time. Currently, Taylor is averaging $14 million per year, which heading into the 2025 season, is the fourth-highest mark in the NFL. Taylor appeared in just 18 total games between the 2022 and 2023 seasons, but stayed relatively healthy in 2024--missing only three games--and he was highly productive once again. On the year, Taylor rushed for 1,431 yards, which was the fourth-most in football, and scored 11 rushing touchdowns.

Tom Brady reveals why he won't 'throw shade' at Patrick Mahomes, NFL stars from broadcast booth
Tom Brady's first year as a broadcaster has come and gone, and it seems he already has a style behind the microphone. After 24 seasons cementing himself as the greatest quarterback of all time, Brady became FOX's top color commentator, joining Kevin Burkhardt to call the Super Bowl. Brady's broadcasting is limited due to his ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, but even without that, Brady doesn't have an interest in bashing players while he's on the call. In a recent interview with Complex Sports, Brady was praised for being "supportive" of Patrick Mahomes, who, at age 29, has already been added to the GOAT conversation with the seven-time Super Bowl champion Brady. "How can I throw shade at someone who's as amazing as he is? I know what he's been through," Brady said. That's his mindset for every player in the game, especially quarterbacks. "And I think the one position that I'm in now as a broadcaster, I do feel a responsibility, A, to tell the fans what I see and be honest and upfront about everything. But also realize that what these guys are doing on the field is extremely difficult," Brady added. "Do they make the right plays all the time? Certainly not. By the way, neither did I. And I think you have to have this context and perspective. "You realize it's not about this harsh critique, and that's really not what it's all about anyway," Brady continued. "To me, it's more about, let's point out the greatness of these individual players. Have fun. Enjoy it. Entertain a little bit. And really try to educate people a little bit. "But that's what I want to do on TV. And thought it was a great season because I've got a great team at Fox. And we're going to keep building on the success we had in year one." Brady signed a 10-year deal with FOX. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Three Patriots Named as Hidden Gems for This Season
Three Patriots Named as Hidden Gems for This Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New England Patriots are a young team with tons of potential. There are the young stars who are destined to shine, like Drake Maye and Christian Gonzalez, but every young team has some players who are just waiting for their chance to get some of the limelight as well. The Patriots have seen this all too many times, as evidenced by undrafted wide receiver Jakobi Meyers making the team in 2019 or Josh Uche's jump from three sacks to 11.5. Advertisement There are destined to be some sleepers, and Cameron Zunkel of ClutchPoints gave his top three for the Patriots this season. There is a lot of potential and young talent to choose from on this new era Patriots team, and the first name that was brought up is one of the Patriots' newest weapons. Third-round wide receiver Kyle Williams from Washington State was the first name listed. Williams was fourth in the nation in touchdowns with 14, but was overshadowed by big-name players like Travis Hunter and Tetairoa McMillan. Williams started his career at UNLV and then transferred to play his last two seasons at Washington State. In his senior season, he had 70 catches for 1,198 yards and 14 touchdowns. He is everything the Patriots offense lacks. He has speed, he can make big plays down the field, and he is great off the line of scrimmage. Stefon Diggs was the big-name free agent, and Patriots fans are excited to see how Demario Douglas progresses, but don't be surprised if Williams ends up top three in receiving yards for the Patriots this season. The next player listed was fourth-year cornerback Marcus Jones. Jones is a special Swiss army knife type of player who has made plays for the Patriots in all three phases of the ball. Jones has been an All-Pro returner, and he gets talked about for his versatility, but he has yet to receive the recognition he deserves at his true position, cornerback. New England Patriots cornerback Marcus Jones (25) tackles Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (4) at State Farm J. Rebilas-Imagn Images It gets overshadowed by all of his talent, but Jones was a really solid corner for New England last year. He played in 14 games, nine of which he started, and recorded 58 tackles, one tackle for loss, 10 pass deflections, one interception, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries. Advertisement He played great in his role, and it looks like he is going to get a bigger one this upcoming season. It seems that the starting nickel cornerback job may end up being his, and if it is, he is going to show that he is not only a great returner but a great cornerback. Lastly, linebacker Christian Elliss was named as a potential hidden gem. Elliss started as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2021 and played almost three seasons there before getting released and signed by the Patriots, where he has played 20 games. Elliss started in five of the 16 games he played, and he recorded 80 tackles, one tackle for loss, one and a half sacks, one interception, five pass deflections, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. Elliss was another player that excelled and their role, and he is another player that could see an increase in snaps and starts. He is expected to be a starter this season, and with Jahlani Tavai already going down early in OTAs, his reps and opportunity should only increase. A lot of people are excited to see how players like Milton Williams and Will Campbell look in their new threads, but there will be a few new household names in Patriots fans' houses. There are a lot of unproven guys, but there is also a lot of potential, and new head coach Mike Vrabel is looking to squeeze out every bit he can get.
