I believe that Tom is sending a message to Colin Kaepernick that while he is begging to play again, he (Tom Brady) can play any time he wants to, whenever he wants to, and where ever he wants to. Suck it up, cry baby! Go kneel somewhere.
That’s B.S. It’s no message to anyone. Brady always wanted to play as long as he could, at least until he’s 45. This doesn’t have to do with anyone but Tom Brady.
By the way, Kaepernick’s first start was against the Patriots, and he outplayed Brady. (108.5 RTG vs. 68.9 RTG)
