“The Patriots Stink,” as Super Bowl Champ Tom Brady Rules Out NFL Return, Dave Portnoy Confronts a Grim Reality

In a shocking turn of events, legendary quarterback Tom Brady has ruled out any possibility of returning to the NFL. This announcement comes amidst a dismal performance by the New England Patriots in the 2023 season, leading to widespread disappointment among fans and critics alike.

Brady, who retired in February 2023, has made it clear that he has no intention of returning to the NFL. He joked that his family would not be happy if he ever changed his mind. Soon after Tom Brady’s clarification on NFL return, Dave Portnoy took the Patriots to task and expressed his disappointment.

The not-at-all-happy Dave Portnoy

As New England Patriots closed the playoff against New Orleans Saints with a score of 34-0 (Saints 34, Patriots 0), fans expressed their disappointemnet regarding the same. With this, founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy also followed suit. Known for his outspoken nature and controversial opinions, Portnoy has been vocal about his disappointment with the Patriots’ performance.

Showing his disregard towards the Patriots’ performance, he said, “I want to be the first one with accountability. Hand up man up to say the Patriots stink. The Patriots stink, maybe the worst team in the NFL and I love where we’re at because we’re not Super Bowl-ready.”

Speaking up on New England Patriots’ Super Bowl insistence, Dave said, “We’re not a Super Bowl Contender and I don’t want to be in the middle of the pack. I’d rather be the worst if you can’t be the best you might as well be the worst and that’s what they are so kudos to this new regime.”

The New England Patriots, a franchise long known for its secretive nature and winning streak, is now facing a crisis. As the team’s current performance continues to fall back, it’s not Dave Portnoy’s outspoken disappointment, there also have been speculations of the formation of cracks within the organisation.

Is this a road-end for Bill Belichick?

Bill Belichick, the Head Coach, assumed to have a slit with the franchise president Jonathan Kraft, and his father Robert Kraft, the franchise owner. The spat is said to have resulted from Bill’s way of team handling.

Belichick, after being named head coach of the Jets, resigned after only one day on the job to accept the head coaching job for the New England Patriots on January 27, 2000. He is not just the head coach now but also the de facto general manager who makes all the decisions for the team, from drafting players to signing free agents.

Meanwhile, the New England Patriots are grappling with their worst offensive performance of the season. The team’s record stands at a disappointing 1-4, placing them at 4th in the AFC East.
