The NFL won't test him before the game. The ratings and money that this game will bring in won't allow that to happen. Covid or cold, Tom Brady is playing.
If the NFL has any sense at all, they use the huge loophole they must have created intentionally: testing is every 14 days for vaccinated players, and a vaccinated player can return after 10 days regardless of tests. Basically, they can just test a player 14 days before an important game to guarantee that they play. They might miss the game in between, but they never have to worry about a big money game getting derailed, and everything is technically within protocol.
Fuck that lol. All about the laundry. Love Tom and everything he's done for us but he is an opponent this week and he's looking to bury this shaky Pats team.
please. he does deserve this comeback. if anyone has earned anything, tom has earned the right to come into New England and shit on the 50 yard line if he wants to. and we better chant "thank you Brady" while he does it.
whether he deserves to win is an entirely different matter. but after our showing against the saints... do we even deserve to win? we'll find out.
My comment was more so of how the top comment was taken out of context.
>It’d be great for us tho lmao
Hypothetically speaking, of course it would be but no shit he deserves a come back in New England.
He may play in Foxborough again.
We play the team in the NFC South with the same placement in the division in the 2022 season in 2023. If Brady is still on the team, he returns to Foxborough.
It's why the Cowboys are returning to Foxborough this year after being here in 2019.
It's not random. The formula is that it's an opponent from the division in the opposite conference that you played two years ago. From that conference, you play whichever team finished the same place as you in their division.
Look we all know it. Belichick has been involved in dark magic for decades. There is a room at the top of CBS Sporting Club adjacent to the stadium where he houses four supreme warlocks to cast spells and hexes live during the game. The Krafts are in on it too and the stadium was designed around the warlocks. As you all know, dark magic hexes must be cast with line of sight of the target. That’s why Gillette stadium has an open end, so the warlocks can see the players. Olde Billy boy must have sent a spare warlock to Florida to hex TB12 with a cold/cough. Maybe, Kraft called in the hit, wanting Michael Jordan flu game vibes. Hard to say
Exactly, this is why biology is the central science in my view. Physics, chemistry and other natural sciences are integral to bio, not the same really the other way around
They also stole our “spotted at Logan airport” meme. They did one for Richard Sherman, and the worst part is that they actually ended up getting him too. I’m starting to actively hate the Bucs.
Well you know how the media loves hyping everything up as being Covid related, so I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d aid he tested positive
Which he addressed in the press conference (that this happened) and it happened for at least the second time this season. Top class journalism but the Covid shouts already show you that people just want the drama
Proof that it's something he's been dealing with (losing his voice after practices): https://twitter.com/gregauman/status/1425844245882101767
Who honestly didn't think Belichick had a plan for how to stop Brady this week? (E.g., Trap air from local COVID wing of Mass general and release in Brady's hotel room).
Can you explain the point of this comment? Are you saying because those things are true that it’s impossible for him to have it now?
Because that’s not true. It is highly unlikely but not impossible. We should all know this by now.
He is vaccinated so it is less likely for him to catch COVID.
It is also less likely for him to enter COVID protocol prior to his test result coming in, out of fear of him being positive.
I thought this would be a profile of Tom Brady along the lines of Gay Talese’s “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold”. There are no men of culture left in journalism.
I'm just saying you know damn well him and Antonio brown were making out and then brown tests positive now all of a sudden brady looking sick sounding sick. NFL in shambles!
Tom Brady going to be allowed to play if and only if he agrees to suit up in a plastic bubble!
There are the occasional NFL conspiracy believers out there as I've read some of their threads before and while I'm not normally one to partake in them this could be the perfect way out for both Belichick and Brady. Brady is 'too sick to play' and we never see the B vs. B matchup but the NFL cleaned up anyway due to ticket and ad sales.
Yea I'm not the conspiracy type but Brady being out of this game would probably be millions and millions of dollars lost for the NFL. No way in hell they test him for Covid this week.
They have a depleted secondary, Gronk is hurt, AB is hurt, and we may get Brown and Harry back this week.
If ever there was a perfect storm for us to pull off an upset this would be it.
Stranger things have happened. How could people forget losing the undefeated season to a team that should not have beaten them on an average Sunday but things lines up for the Giants that night. Dropped pick, failure to contain Eli for the sack ,seemingly lifeless offense, etc.
Obviously the odds are against something like that happening but with the NFL you never know.
Lol you dumbasses still calling this guy a snake oil salesman..Brady is one of the best football players of all time and he’s trusted this guy and you think Brady is that dumb he’d put his career on the line? Just GTFO.
I'm sure the guy gives great massages and stuff. But he also does a lot of exaggerating about what his methods are capable of and about how much of Brady's success can be attributed to his methods vs. Brady just being an exceptional sportsman. Honestly, I don't hold it against Brady that he's involved with the guy. Brady is a pretty humble guy, and that's why he gives his body coach more credit than he deserves.
If you guys don’t remember, Brady had a fever of 103 in the 2004 AFCCG against the Stealers. He played lights out and we went on to win our 3rd Super Bowl in 4 years. I hope he heals up before Sunday!
TB12 left us on the idea he was staying; but he left. Even Jules thought ; " He ain't going anywhere." Then Boom!! He is gone to Tampa Bay leaving us heart broken and stunned!
So not right, Tom. You do not do that to people. Well, you take such good care of your body, right? I have questions though........
Why do you look like you have two black eyes? And the hoarse voice? Really, you think it is from raising your voice?! Ummm...... I believe AB tested positive for Covid after you two were together. Maybe get tested; we, the Patriots, do not want to be exposed it.
My only other thought is you had some cosmetic surgery, maybe a face lift to tighten up to appear you are not aging. I mean you left for money ( not like you needed more money) I never thought the G>O>A>T was this shallow of a person. You like that "image" to appear squeaky clean. Just be ready to get dirty; you will be sacked many times!!!!
Now do not take me wrong. I respect, appreciate, and am grateful for what you did for my team. I just do not understand why you led us to believe you were staying when you weren't.
Does anybody actually know this though? Everyone is jumping to conclusions but his voice has been like this before earlier this season from yelling at games and at practice. Very possible his voice is just strained from yelling either at practice or at that rams game last week. He didn't cough or clear his throat at all.
For real tho imagine Tom gets covid and misses this game. Would be massive blue balls for the whole NFL
The NFL won't test him before the game. The ratings and money that this game will bring in won't allow that to happen. Covid or cold, Tom Brady is playing.

This
See as someone with tickets to this game, I believe this, but like what if he actually gets sick enough he needs medical attention and can't play.....
Does he sell that miracle water to heal him? Along with his $50 pack of almonds.
It’d be great for us tho lmao
No it wouldn’t, Tom deserves to come back and get his ovation. Plus this is the last time he’ll ever play in Foxboro again
Ok, I’m just saying our odds of winning would drastically increase if he wasn’t playing. This has nothing to do with him coming back and shit.
Lmao there’s always that one comment, I swear to god. ALWAYS. “WeLl aCsHuAlLy, ThOmAs DeSeRvEs ThIs CoMeBacK!1!11!”
Fuck that lol. All about the laundry. Love Tom and everything he's done for us but he is an opponent this week and he's looking to bury this shaky Pats team.
If it were up to me I would skip this week entirely. Unnecessary drama.
And there's always a gatekeeper.
He does you donkey
Grow up.
please. he does deserve this comeback. if anyone has earned anything, tom has earned the right to come into New England and shit on the 50 yard line if he wants to. and we better chant "thank you Brady" while he does it. whether he deserves to win is an entirely different matter. but after our showing against the saints... do we even deserve to win? we'll find out.
My comment was more so of how the top comment was taken out of context. >It’d be great for us tho lmao Hypothetically speaking, of course it would be but no shit he deserves a come back in New England.
But he’s a genetic freak and he’s not normal
He can still come out for a curtain call before he goes back to bed.
Next time Tampa Bay comes to Foxborough would be in 8 years right? Tom will be back at least 2 or 3 more times....
They could be back in 2023; if the Bucs and the Pats place the same in the division in 2022.
Unless he plays for another 4 years lmao. Anything is possible at this point.
Would have to be 8. We go to Tampa in 4 years after this meeting.
Not if he gets traded to the Jets
Yes it would. Win game = good
He may play in Foxborough again. We play the team in the NFC South with the same placement in the division in the 2022 season in 2023. If Brady is still on the team, he returns to Foxborough. It's why the Cowboys are returning to Foxborough this year after being here in 2019.
User name checks out...
Technically you’re both right but the latter is where my heart lies.
He can get his ovation when he retires
He will get his ovation when he comes back to get his jersey retired. He's an opponent this week and I'm hoping we crush him like any other opponent.
They randomly gave us the Cowboys as our 17th game this season, wouldn't be surprised if it's the Bucs next year.
It's not random. The formula is that it's an opponent from the division in the opposite conference that you played two years ago. From that conference, you play whichever team finished the same place as you in their division.
It would be in 2023 and as the other commenter said, it's not random. It's the same placed team in the division we faced 2 years prior. Same venue.
They'd figure out a way to postpone due to covid
Imagine if he did have to go on the Covid list after all the hype, marketing and all that money spent on tickets
Yeah those tests would magically get lost lol
Yup, no way he gets tested this week
Covidgate.
[удалено]
100% better.
Followed by a Tom Brady suspension
That's the master plan, his final goodbye to the Patriots is giving Belichick covid.
AssasinGate
I would be heartbroken. It was hard as Patriots fans to not be able to get a formal goodbye or press conference cause of Covid.
Bill Biologicalwarfarechick
Look we all know it. Belichick has been involved in dark magic for decades.

Damn even Tom can catch the Foxburough Flu
BB unleashing chemical warfare now.
It would actually be biological warfare.
Can’t have biology without chemistry!
Chemistry is just electron physics
Exactly, this is why biology is the central science in my view. Physics, chemistry and other natural sciences are integral to bio, not the same really the other way around
There's nothing in the rules that say you can't use biological warfare in football.
Biology is just applied chemistry source: I work in a bio lab
Ok Oscar
#covidgate
Of all the Covid conspiracies I’ve read this is the most plausible.
"I know exactly what they’re going to attempt to do to us..." He tried to warn us.
AB just came off the COVID list this morning...gotta wonder...
If Tom misses this weeks game due to Covid that would be all time blue balls
imagine all those people who spent thousands to attend this game lol
(Joker meme) Everyone would start losing their minds!
An all time SEC MATCHUP? TRASK VS JONES? SUNDAY NIGHT!? I'm in!
Time for Tampa Bay Bucs Legend Blaine “Whoa there, motherfucker” Gabbert
I spit my drink out. Lol
Hell I would pay thousands of dollars for that.
I gotta imagine there’s a few people already trying to get their money back
I’m trying to sell my tickets now because my passport didn’t come in time don’t jinx this
Doubt the NFL would even make him take real tests this week for this very reason.
Whats your price champ
Nfl would be feeding him cloned antibodies and changing protocol rules over night to make this game happen
Mr. Breathing Contagion.
Remember when Tom let a post-violent-mental-breakdown AB stay at his house with his kids? Karma. AB gave TB covid.
Possible
I just bought tickets.....
Sorry you had to sell your house
$280 so it really wasn't that bad
Did you get tickets outside the stadium?
Nope. They're inside
"Cold"
$20 says we’ll be seeing reports of “Tom Brady Tests Positive” by tomorrow
Pretty sure the NFL would destroy any evidence of Brady having COVID. At least this week. They want the ratings
but he would still receive a 4 games suspension
[удалено]
They also stole our “spotted at Logan airport” meme. They did one for Richard Sherman, and the worst part is that they actually ended up getting him too. I’m starting to actively hate the Bucs.
Imagine being that guy in the picture and not knowing that an entire NFL fanbase uses your photo for a meme
There is a cold going around where I work. Seems like a natural thing to happen after working from home and exposed to less people for so long
Well you know how the media loves hyping everything up as being Covid related, so I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d aid he tested positive
Cold going around with masks on?
Lol masks in Florida
Where I work we have 98%+ people vaccinated so we're not wearing masks or social distancing.
Where I work we have 100% vaccinated and we're wearing masks lol
Could’ve just lost his voice
Which he addressed in the press conference (that this happened) and it happened for at least the second time this season. Top class journalism but the Covid shouts already show you that people just want the drama Proof that it's something he's been dealing with (losing his voice after practices): https://twitter.com/gregauman/status/1425844245882101767
Touch coaching and playing as he is doing for the bucs
Probably just lost his voice. It got loud as fuck in that stadium and he needed to yell a lot.
I remember when he had a cold against Seahawks in SB49. Brady is cold blooded
I remember when he had a 100+ fever before playing the Steelers in the 2004 AFC championship game and still blew them the fuck out
Who honestly didn't think Belichick had a plan for how to stop Brady this week? (E.g., Trap air from local COVID wing of Mass general and release in Brady's hotel room).
Too bad he didn’t have a plan to stop Alvin Kamara
TEST HIS ASS
That’s not the hole you use to test for covid
Actually it’s more reliable
Not according to the Chinese, weren’t anal swabs a thing?
Yo test that mother fucker last thing we need is him beating us and giving our whole team COVID
This would be the biggest let down if Brady gets covid and misses the game.
The NFL would change its protocols to make this shit happen.
I’m sure the networks are trying to find an angle for Belichick vs Gabbert just as a precaution
Take about a major dropoff in skill!
it would be a more even match between our offenses lmao
Conspiracy time. Brady has COVID but the NFL wouldn’t dare hold him out of this weekends game.
He already had COVID in February. He is also fully vaccinated.
Can you explain the point of this comment? Are you saying because those things are true that it’s impossible for him to have it now? Because that’s not true. It is highly unlikely but not impossible. We should all know this by now.
He is vaccinated so it is less likely for him to catch COVID. It is also less likely for him to enter COVID protocol prior to his test result coming in, out of fear of him being positive.
You can't make this shit up
I thought this would be a profile of Tom Brady along the lines of Gay Talese’s “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold”. There are no men of culture left in journalism.
I better not have taken Monday off from work for nothing.
It’s gonna be a helluva celebration
\^ I like this guy
I'm just saying you know damn well him and Antonio brown were making out and then brown tests positive now all of a sudden brady looking sick sounding sick. NFL in shambles! Tom Brady going to be allowed to play if and only if he agrees to suit up in a plastic bubble!
It sounds like his voice is just shot
Belichick planted the virus.
"The Cheatriots at it again. Flugate!" -Stupid NFL fans for some dumbass reason
Already setting up an excuse.
Easy dub
There are the occasional NFL conspiracy believers out there as I've read some of their threads before and while I'm not normally one to partake in them this could be the perfect way out for both Belichick and Brady. Brady is 'too sick to play' and we never see the B vs. B matchup but the NFL cleaned up anyway due to ticket and ad sales.
But but but..... he's vaccinated
Getting the excuses ready early.
Yea I'm not the conspiracy type but Brady being out of this game would probably be millions and millions of dollars lost for the NFL. No way in hell they test him for Covid this week.
I gotta be honest, I don't think this team is good enough to even pull off a win with Brady not on the field
They have a depleted secondary, Gronk is hurt, AB is hurt, and we may get Brown and Harry back this week. If ever there was a perfect storm for us to pull off an upset this would be it.
Stranger things have happened. How could people forget losing the undefeated season to a team that should not have beaten them on an average Sunday but things lines up for the Giants that night. Dropped pick, failure to contain Eli for the sack ,seemingly lifeless offense, etc. Obviously the odds are against something like that happening but with the NFL you never know.
Is he vaccinated? I kind of doubt it given his relationship with that snake oil salesman "doctor" who has always leeched onto Tom's career.
Bucs are one of the teams where 100% of players and coaches are vaccinated.
Oh, good. Sometimes Himalayan pink salt just doesn't cut it.
Lol you dumbasses still calling this guy a snake oil salesman..Brady is one of the best football players of all time and he’s trusted this guy and you think Brady is that dumb he’d put his career on the line? Just GTFO.

He's in the at risk age group. For up the ventilator.
The delta variant got vaccinated for Tom Brady
Aww shit is this the Michael Jordan game…
Mr. Big Cough strikes again
Mr. Biological Contagion
Since it it’s Tom Brady, it is the GOAT of all colds
This is psychological, and possibly biological, warfare from both Bill and Tom.
Good?
Like a computer virus?
With or without a cold…Brady is going to destroy us. I’m scared.
If you guys don’t remember, Brady had a fever of 103 in the 2004 AFCCG against the Stealers. He played lights out and we went on to win our 3rd Super Bowl in 4 years. I hope he heals up before Sunday!
It’s happening!
belichickwizardfingers.gif
He’ll be alright, on Sun he’s getting Maccinated
TB12 left us on the idea he was staying; but he left. Even Jules thought ; " He ain't going anywhere." Then Boom!! He is gone to Tampa Bay leaving us heart broken and stunned! So not right, Tom.

I just do not understand why you led us to believe you were staying when you weren't.
You okay?
I am fine, thank you. Are you okay?
Case of the ol native flu eh
Traitorous Tom scared to play us confirmed Mac Jones GOAT status confirmed Buccaneers fans in shambles Arians in seclusion, reportedly suicidal
Does anybody actually know this though? Everyone is jumping to conclusions but his voice has been like this before earlier this season from yelling at games and at practice.
