While the New England Patriots were licking their wounds and dealing with the heartbreak from their 29-13 loss at Super Bowl LX, Tom Brady was sending a text message to congratulate Seattle Seahawks coach Mike MacDonald on his championship win.
It's a classy gesture from the greatest quarterback of all time. But given the team he used to play for—and his no "dog in the fight" mentality heading into the Super Bowl—it may or may not sit well with Patriots fans.
"Tom Brady texted me. That was cool," MacDonald said on The Rich Eisen Show.
Eisen followed up by asking, "Tom Brady's like, 'Way to go?'"
"Yeah," said MacDonald. "That was cool. I did tell him, I said, 'Hey, thanks for stealing our OC.'"
Brady, who is a partial owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, had a vested interest in the Super Bowl with the Raiders hiring former Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as their new head coach. There's also the Patriots side of things—you know, the team that erected a statue in Brady's honor after he took them to six Super Bowls.
Nobody can steal the memories of Brady's historic run in New England and two decades of success. But anyone thinking that the NFL legend would parade around as a Patriots mascot, while moonlighting as a partial owner of another football team, was sadly mistaken.
