Tom Brady Gets Trolled For Appearance At Statue Ceremony
Tom Brady Gets Trolled For Appearance At Statue Ceremony originally appeared on The Spun. The New England Patriots honored Tom Brady before their preseason opener against the Washington Commanders on Friday night. A 12-foot bronze statue of Brady was unveiled outside Gillette Stadium. The statue features Brady wearing his No. 12 jersey and his Patriots helmet in his left hand. The stand for this impressive statue lists all six Super Bowl titles that he won in New England. "This is quite overwhelming to me," Brady said. "I feel extremely honored, deeply grateful and, if I'm being honest, kind of old. ... I never dreamed I'd be standing here 2½ decades later, made of bronze and frozen in time. It actually feels pretty appropriate given my 40-yard dash time." A few moments later, Brady threw a jab at the New York Jets. "This statue isn't just for Pats fans. It will also give all the Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium every year." Patriots fans were certainly glad to see Brady back in Foxborough. The rest of the NFL world, however, was too busy trolling his appearance. Some people thought Brady looked like Hollywood star Walton Goggins' character in "The Righteous Gemstones." Here's the comparison that's going viral: While some fans mocked Brady's appearance, others were complaining about the design for his statue. "He should be holding a Lombardi," one fan wrote on X. "Disappointment," another fan said. "No logo, can't even see the 12, and most importantly, no Lombardi???" Personally, we think the statue looks just fine. In fact, the only people who should be insulted this weekend are Jets fans.

Best Photos of JFK Jr. Carolyn Bessette
On July 16, 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr. boarded a small aircraft with wife Carolyn Bessette and her sister Lauren Bessette, intending to fly from New Jersey to Martha's Vineyard and then on to Cape Cod for his cousin Rory's wedding; instead, he crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Massachusetts, leaving no survivors. Their loss became another in a series of what some call the 'Kennedy curse:' the tendency of members of this family to die prematurely, like President John F. Kennedy, assassinated at age 46, or his brother Robert F. Kennedy, assassinated at age 42. The loss of the young, beautiful couple of JFK Jr. and wife Carolyn only intensified comparisons to his illustrious parents JFK and Jackie O., and their legacy has since taken on the same harrowing blend of glamour and tragedy. Before meeting JFK Jr., Carolyn Bessette went to Boston University and then worked at Calvin Klein, first as a salesperson and then as a publicist. She began dating her future husband in 1994, moved into his Tribeca apartment in 1995, and quit her job in 1996, marrying Kennedy in a small, secret ceremony in September of that year. Their brief marriage was largely characterized by Carolyn's often-difficult time adjusting to the media frenzy that now surrounded her day-to-day life, an experience longtime friend Carole Radziwill compared to Meghan Markle joining the royal family in early 2021. The iconic couple remains a pop culture fascination, becoming the source of an August 2025 CNN documentary, American Prince: JFK Jr., and an upcoming Ryan Murphy drama series, American Love Story. Read on for our favorite photos of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, a couple taken from us too soon. A version of this article was originally published in July 2021.

Tom Brady roasts Jets fans during Patriots statue ceremony
FOXBORO, Mass. — At some point, the New England Patriots will need to untether themselves from the past and move on from the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady years. But even so, those years were so good that occasional steps back in time remain dewy and sweet. So, yes, the Patriots chose Brady to be the first employee in franchise history to be honored with a statue. The unveiling took place Friday night at Gillette Stadium as an undercard to the Patriots' preseason opener against the Washington Commanders, except that the undercard will be remembered long after the game has been forgotten. Brady made sure of that — not with any of the humble, aw-shucks remarks he delivered after the unveiling, but for the delicious one-liner he smooshed into the faces of long-suffering New York Jets fans. Advertisement First, he rolled out a set-up line about how Patriots fans 'earned every single one of these (Super Bowl) banners that fly above this stadium forever.' He then paused for a half beat. Brady, remember, always did have great timing. And then … 'But in the end, this statue isn't just for Pats fans,' Brady said. 'It'll also give all the Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium every year.' Another pause, this one for a full beat. Timing, timing . . . 'Probably in the second quarter,' Brady said. 'Maybe the third.' 💀💀@TomBrady | @NFL — New England Patriots (@Patriots) August 8, 2025 On any other occasion, it would have been dismissed as just another easy jab at the Jets. From talk radio to Elks Club banquets, people have been making Jets jokes for more than half a century. But this wasn't any other occasion. What Brady did was turn his own statue into a forever reminder of all the great things the Patriots did during the Belichick/Brady years, while also pointing out, through subtext, that about all the Jets did during those years was contribute the Butt Fumble to NFL lore. Whether or not he intended it, Brady essentially blew a kiss at Belichick with that Jets quip. Everyone knows how much Belichick hates the Jets, from his infamous decision to resign as 'HC of the NYJ' to former Jets coach Eric Mangini dropping a dime on Belichick's 2007 'Spygate' antics. And on this night, we had Brady doing a solid for his old coach with a shot at the Jets. Brady did manage to mention Belichick by name, and he did so with another planned comedy bit that involved an imaginary phone call. Beginning the bit with a shoutout to sculptor Jeff Buccacio, Brady said, 'As for this statue itself, Jeff, you and your team did an incredible job. Seriously. It is so accurate, so detailed . . .' Advertisement Pause. 'Hold on one second,' Brady said, pulling out a phone and holding it to his ear. 'Hello?' Pause. Pause. 'OK.' Pause. 'Sorry, Jeff, that was coach Belichick. He said there's still room for improvement.' While Brady compliments the sculptor on nailing the statue, he 'gets a call from Bill Belichick' '..Sorry, Jeff. That was Coach Belichick. He said, 'There's still room for improvement.' I know the feeling.' @WEEI #NEPats — Tom Carroll (@yaboiTCfresh) August 8, 2025 The timing was again perfect. The material, not so much. The Jets joke was better and more meaningful. Remember, there's a longstanding Belichick-Brady football campfire in which people sit around and tell stories about how it was Brady who won those six Super Bowls for the Patriots and that Belichick was the lucky coach who went along for the ride. Sensible people know the story lacks nuance — Belichick crafted some stunning defenses during those days — but insensible people go with it anyway . . . just because. But now, Brady and Belichick stand united through that statue. And that's what good art does: it encourages us to seek the beauty within, or something like that. (I'm no art critic.) The day will come when Belichick gets his own Gillette Stadium statue. As will Patriots owner/patriarch Robert Kraft, who attended the Brady statue unveiling Friday night and said, '(Brady) demanded excellence of himself, and made everyone around him better. Tom wasn't just the face of our franchise. He was the true heartbeat. It's hard to overstate what Tom accomplished. He didn't just rewrite the record books. He practically authored a new volume.' And so on. The Brady bronze, which shows the quarterback with a raised, celebratory fist, stands 17 feet tall. The figure weighs 1,800 pounds and has a granite base that weighs 10,500 pounds, for a total weight of 12,300 pounds. It's located at Patriot Place Plaza near the Patriots Hall of Fame and Kraft's beloved lighthouse. Advertisement Will it turn out in the years to come that the Brady statue is a quarter-inch taller than the Belichick statue? Will the Kraft statue tower over the Brady and Belichick statues? Football fans/art critics, no doubt, will study the three statues for the answers to these questions. They will inspect the statues for secret meanings and subtle messaging. But that's all later on. This is 2025, and the Brady bronze is a solo act at Gillette Stadium. It pays homage to arguably the greatest quarterback in history. And thanks to Brady, it's a 12,300-pound poke in the eye at Jets fans. It might, however, behoove the Patriots to keep an eye on the statue whenever the Jets are in town. What was it Brady said? That Jets fans might throw their beers at it as they leave the stadium? That might not be all they do to it. Spot the pattern.
