Tom Brady Took the Jets to the Tip of His Humor Twice Within 48 Hours
Robert Kraft barely misses a chance to take digs at the Jets. He's just staying true to the quintessential New England Patriots tradition.

'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.

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 .'
