The heated debates, especially with the softball star player of San Mateo University, sculpted the early athleticism understanding of the GOAT. And when it came to the point in his career where hardly anyone could understand the behind-the-scenes complexities in his life, his sister did. “It wasn’t a question of whether or not he wanted to continue to play. He was just probably starting to think about whether things could be done differently. Which I think was really hard for him as well to kind of think about something else,” Nancy Brady said in the latest episode of The Dynasty: New England Patriots. 

The latest episode of the Apple TV+ Original came as a ticking bomb for fans since they hardly expected Tom Brady to confirm the rumors of him leaving the Patriots because of Bill Belichick. Following the grand revelation, Nancy Brady’s words describing his brother’s extremely conflicted mindset were enough to turn fans’ eyes teary. “Because he loved New England,” Nancy iterated. “His kids were born in New England.

And so, despite these feelings of frustration, the thought of going somewhere else just really didn’t seem possible,” she added further.
