SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Patriots legend Tom Brady has made a lot of waves in recent days, saying he doesn’t have a “dog in the fight” when it comes to upcoming Super Bowl with his former team going up against the Seattle Seahawks .
During Thursday’s media availability with the players, Brady’s lack of a rooting interest was a bit of a hot topic.
Patriots linebacker Robert Spillane , for one, voiced some outrage over the GOAT’s stance.
“Personally it makes me sick,” Spillane said of Brady, who has one of his seven rings courtesy of beating Seattle, opting to remain neutral.
Asked if it was because he was a Patriot, Spillane nodded.
“Yeah, and so he is, and he has a dog in the fight,” Spillane said. “For him to say that, it is what it is. But at the end of the day, he’s an owner of the Las Vegas Raiders now. So he has to do what’s best for him.”
Spillane is a former Raider, who signed with the Patriots in free agency.
On Wednesday, Rob Gronkowski , who predicted a Patriots victory - going with a 28-24 score as a nod to the prior win over Seattle - was also asked his thoughts about Brady’s stance.
He chose a more playful response.
“Tom (Brady) is all over the place with his predictions, but I love it,“ Gronk said. ”He’s keeping everyone guessing."
