Tom Brady’s connection with  Antonio Brown is in the limelight again! And, this time, interestingly, they both are making waves for their close bond. Seemingly, former NFL player Antonio Brown has taken a stand for ex-New England Patriots QB Brady.

Soon after the New York Post highlighted Brady’s offensive term issue, he urged his fans to trash the $6B media company for a day. Taking to his official X handle, @AB84, former wide receiver, Brown shared the New York Post and showcased his support for Super Bowl MVP player Brady.

“Trash Media of the Day #CTESPN Leave Tom alone….. spaz,” he mentioned in his post. It indeed showcased the strong bond between the former NFL players.

Apparently, during the Bills-Seahawks game on Fox Sports on Sunday, the highest-paid sports commentator, Brady, stimulated controversy with harsh words on the Fox broadcast. During his commentary, he discussed Josh Allen’s development as Bills QB. Allegedly, Brady claimed that the Pro Bowler used to play like a “spaz” before developing greater control under center. “Sometimes he played like a spaz, like a grade-schooler on a sugar high,” Brady stated.

Seemingly, the media house criticized him for using this derogatory term in his commentary. They described that the word “spaz” is a derivative of the word “spastic,” which denotes being uncoordinated, stupid, or losing physical or emotional control. According to the New York Post media company, this term, considered offensive by some as an ableist slur used in jokes and metaphors to “dehumanize” people with disabilities, should be used to describe medical issues in specific situations.

Amid this controversy, everyone was surprised to see AB stick up for Brady. This post came after Brown’s heartfelt audio clip and his apology tweet went viral on social media.

Tom Brady and Antonio Brown mend their strained relationship

Seemingly, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates mended their strained relationship. Despite their conflict during the period with the Bucs in 2022, their recent touching conversation video has been making rounds on the internet.

Recently, taking to his X handle, Antonio shared the audio of their heartfelt conversation call with a cheeky caption. “AB x Tom Brady. Love my Teammate & Friend #CTESPN He helped me out of the mud & I’m forever grateful for him. I’m sorry for all my side of everything. Super Bowl Champs 🖤@TomBrady,” he mentioned in his post. It indeed reflected his sentiments for Brady. It also suggests an end to their feud.

Clearly, with this apology stance, Brown exhibited Brady’s profound impact on his career. Not only this,  Brown also expressed his deep gratitude and regard for Brady’s support and helping him become a Super Bowl champion. “You helped me succeed. You came and got me in the dirt, champ,” he asserted. Brown also adored Tom’s amazing leadership abilities. He went on to express that he never took those things for granted: “Man, you are always special to me. No matter, the emotions, I try to betray, I only got respect for you and everything you did for me,” he added.

Besides this, Brown also acknowledged that without letting him know, he even “could not live on”, asking him for an apology. “I got nothing but the utmost respect for you and asking for your forgiveness,” he also stated.

On the other hand, Brady’s reply also caught the public’s attention. He gave a heartfelt response to his ex-teammate. “What’s happened in the past is in the past,” he was seen saying in the viral audio clip.

Well, Brady has extended forgiveness to Brown, and the GOAT’s calm manner was so mirrored in his remarks. It seems like Brady was more interested in a potential reunion than pointing out their flaws. This shows that the two former NFL stars have buried the hatchet after all!
