This week, Tom Brady has officially been immortalised outside the Gillette Stadium ahead of the pre-season game against the Commanders. Clinching six Super Bowls to his name along with 20 banger seasons, Brady absolutely deserves the crown, but 6'4''had to add some spice to it beyond the event.
Tom Brady fires shots at the Jets fans once again
NFL rivalries are all but bland. Constant teasing, trash talking, and social media chaffing are the most regular scenarios.
When Kraft unveiled the statue during a small ceremony at Patriot Place Plaza on August 8, 2025, the protagonist of the event couldn't help chiming in and silencing the Jets once again.
'In the end, this sta͏tue isn͏'t just for ͏Pat͏s ͏fans. I͏t'll also give all ͏the ͏Jets fans something t͏o thro͏w their beers at as͏ they lea͏ve the stadium every year
,' the classic Tom Brady jeer stole the show. But guess what? Brady didn't stop at it.
He took it a little too far.
Brady doesn't just feel at home with a ball at his legs, but he's equally invested in spearheading the future generations onto the right path. Recently, the standout Patriots Hall of Fame dished some life lessons to the youngsters and their parents through his 199 Newsletter, but he didn't forget to rub some salt in the Jets' wounds. '
As parents, we hope for many things for our kids.
Just the way I hope they don't make the same mistake I did,'
Braddy addressed her philosophy on hope
, 'We confide in friends and relatives that we hope they settle down and have kids of their own, or that they find a well-paying job, or that they become a good person, or
that they don't become a Jets fan
.'

However, apart from all the teases and taunts, Brady feels overwhelmed getting the honor at the age of 48 and couldn't hold back his heartfelt excitement for the same.
Tom Brady turns emotional during his speech
Remember 29-7? just a regular season record of Tom Brady against the Jets during his heyday. But it's not just about the Jets' wrath. His legacy lies far beyond. His unfathomable leadership paved the path for the teams to win multiple championships over the years.
He redefined the Patriots at the helm of the NFL dynasty.
"This is quite overwhelming to me,"
Brady articulated his emotion during his short yet impactful six-minute speech.
"I feel extremely honored, deeply grateful, and, if I'm being honest, kind of old. I'm also a little surprised because usually they don't build statues until you're really old, like [Mike] Vrabel and [Tedy] Bruschi."
That's how it should be. The legend for the legacy, now in bronze!

Did Taylor Swift secretly play the bear in Happy Gilmore 2? Songstress addresses rumors on New Heights podcast
The rumors are terrible and cruel but honey, most of them are true…but are they? Taylor Swift sets the record straight on speculations about her secretly playing a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2 alongside Travis Kelce - the role of the bear who mauls the Kansas City tight-end's character slathered in honey and covered in nothing but an apron.

'This is one of those [rumors] where we'll send it to each other and be like, 'Hey, did you hear I was the bear in there?' [Travis is] like, 'Yeah, you hear we bought a house in Lake Como?'' The Grammy winner admitted she and Kelce have reached a point where outrageous tabloid stories barely faze them. 'At this point, we're just like, 'Of course they think I'm inside of a bear costume,'' she joked. Swift, however, was flattered that anyone thought she could have been part of the Adam Sandler sports comedy sequel. 'I loved that movie so much,' she said, adding that she felt 'honored' to be linked to the project at all. She also gave credit where credit's due, praising the actual performer behind the bear suit. 'Whoever did the bear acting was exquisite,' Swift quipped, delivering the kind of playful compliment that sent fans into another wave of meme-making.

The bizarre, blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment quickly became a fan favorite online. Director Adam Sandler even weighed in, calling Kelce 'funny as hell' and hinting the NFL star might have a future in comedy.

NHL Trade Rumors: Connor McDavid-style contract tension reportedly brewing for Winnipeg Jets
Winnipeg Jets face potential Kyle Connor contract saga amid McDavid-Oilers parallels (Imagn Images) The Winnipeg Jets might soon find themselves navigating familiar territory for hockey fans—anxious contract drama. As Connor McDavid's situation in Edmonton draws headlines, reports suggest a comparable scenario could be unfolding in Manitoba with Kyle Connor. While the stakes differ, the underlying tension feels strikingly similar, and much like in Edmonton, there's hope the story will end on a positive note. Kyle Connor's contract year could shape the Jets' future Kyle Connor isn't Connor McDavid—few in the NHL are—but his value to Winnipeg is undeniable. Fresh off a career-best 97-point season, the 27-year-old winger is entering the final year of his seven-year, $50 million extension. If a new deal isn't inked before October, he'll play through the season in a contract year, a scenario no team relishes for its stars. The Jets have every reason to keep him locked in long-term. Yet, according to insider Frank Seravalli, extension talks haven't even started. 'Here we sit, Kyle Connor: getting close to the start of training camp, not all that different than McDavid,' Seravalli said on Insider Notebook. 'I don't think they've had much by way of extension talks.' Adding to the uncertainty, Seravalli noted Connor's camp isn't in a rush. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo 'They want to evaluate their options… I'm sure Jets fans don't necessarily love the sound of that. Particularly after watching Nikolaj Ehlers walk out the door as a free agent.' Lessons from Connor McDavid's extension outlook In Edmonton, McDavid's own contract situation has generated plenty of speculation, though fears of him leaving have eased. The new focus is on how long the Oilers can keep their captain. Seravalli believes his camp may already have a preferred range in mind: '[McDavid's extension] could be anywhere from a two-year to an eight-year deal… Four years might be the sweet spot here.' For Winnipeg, the takeaway is clear—elite talent rarely hits the open market without drama, but it's crucial to resolve uncertainties before they cast a shadow over the season. As training camp looms, the Jets' ability to keep Connor content and committed could define their competitive trajectory for years to come.
