The Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB, Tom Brady, appears on a weekly podcast with his co-hosts, Jim Gray and Larry Fitzgerald. There, the seven-time Super Bowl champ gives his insight into games he played and also tells his listeners what he should have done retrospectively. In a recent episode, movie star Adam Sandler and rapper Tracy Morgan appeared on the Let’s Go! podcast. Gray rubbed salt on Brady’s wound when he asked the 45-year-old a stinging question.

The 15x Pro Bowler had recently lost against the San Francisco 49ers. The matchup was brutal. A much younger quarterback defeated the GOAT of football. Not only that, but his childhood favorite team brutally crushed his Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tom Brady threw an unsatisfactory touchdown and two picks. Certainly, there was a lot to ponder over for the star QB.
It was not a good day for TB12. Because not only did he throw two interceptions but the 49ers linebacker, Dre Greenlaw, asked for an autograph on the ball Greenlaw intercepted.
Credit where due, it was a great play. Thanks for joining this week @AdamSandler @TracyMorgan

When asked about the painful incident, this is what the distraught QB said: “It was sh*t for me, to be honest. It was complete sh*t. But I try to be a gentleman. It was a great play he made. I’m happy he’s got the ball.”
Fans commended Tom Brady for doing a kind deed even though he was hurting
Greenlaw intercepted the pass that Tampa Tom threw for Mike Evans to catch. He then took the ball to the bench and brought it to the star QB at the end of the game for him to sign. The special moment became viral as cameras widely caught it.
Sandler said, “You looked nice, Tommy, when you were signing the ball. There were a lot of cameras on you, too. You were forced into that one.”
This fan commented:
You’re widely know as the GOAT and a lot of us younger guys have idolized you so I’m sure getting an INT off of you is huge for him. It would be for me. Way to be a great sport/great guy as always Tom. Keep being you my man. 🙏🏼

Tom Brady gave the linebacker something to cherish forever.
So sportsmanlike of you to sign that ball, Tom! He’ll remember that the rest of his life! You are the GOAT, and you always will be in my eyes, and I’m sure everyone else’s😊

Many fans consider the NFL GOAT their idol and inspiration.
I'll always think you're a class act Tom. It speaks volumes other players ask for your autograph! You're a legend and inspiration to many.

It certainly was a bittersweet moment for Brady, but Greenlaw confessed he had a “fangirl” moment.
That's awesome. I knew it was eating u up inside to sign that. 😄 Your a good man to bite that lip and sign your interception ball for him. 👊

Tom, in my book, you are a hard act to follow. It wasn't the best game for the BUCS but crap happens. You signing that football for that young man was life changing for him. Thank you! If it were me I would have passed out!😊

This was not the first time that Brady autographed game equipment. And certainly not the first time that he signed an intercepted ball.
