Tom Brady speaks about his last conversation with Belichick before exit

Speaking to the media ahead of Sunday’s Patriots vs Bucs showdown, Tom Brady revealed that the last conversation he had with Bill Belichick before leaving Boston was on a cellphone, not in person.

“All of those things are super personal. We had a great relationship. I think it was handled the right way. We handled everything as gracefully as we could. It was an amazing time. It was handled perfectly. I think everyone understood where we were at, the people involved in the situation. Things worked out for the best for all of us and we’re all trying to do the best we can do now. That’s what happens in life. You go through these experiences, you don’t know where life’s going to lead. And I think the only thing I know how to do is give it all I can in every day, moment.”

“That’s ultimately what this week is about. It’s not about the quarterback, it’s not about the fans or the home crowd or relationships of 20 years. It’s about two good football teams going at it, and we’ve got to do a great job and it’s going to be a huge test. Last week was a huge test and we didn’t quite meet it. This is another huge test; we’ve got to go meet the challenge,” Brady said via Bucswire.

All eyes will be on the 44-year old quarterback who will endure an emotional outing on Sunday. Arguably, this game might feel like a Super Bowl for Brady. But then again, that’s when he plays his best football. You can’t afford to miss this one.
