Before leading the New England Patriots to a 23-7 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night, star quarterback Tom Brady put his pregame routine on hold to recognize the men and women of the U.S. military.
Roughly 200 members of the military were honored on the field prior to the game. Brady and wide receiver Chris Hogan made sure to pay their respects in the form of high-fives.

Too Little Too Late.
Tom Brady has stood respectfully during every National Anthem.
Could you imagine how bad next year’s NFL attendance and revenues will be once people don’t find themselves stuck owning season tickets or within fantasy leagues?
As for Tom Brady, I'm a little disappointed in him too for not going to the White House with the rest of the team after their Super Bowl win. I'm not buying the "mother was ill" story. Most likely, his moonbat wife, who is a bigtime leftist, ordered him not to go so he found a reason not to be there so he could maintain the peace at home. Tom caught a lot of crap for having a MAGA hat in his locker last year and he's been careful ever since not to let his political leanings show. Which overall is probably the wisest course to take. But he is definitely hen-pecked, that I can tell you.
Why were there over 200 members of the military there all dressed in uniform? Just so He could shake their hand? Im not buying any of it.
No more free military anything for the NFL. No hi-tech superjet fly overs, no pinpoint accurate skydives, no more anything. If they want to play their game, let em play it. If they want to show respect where it is due, They either will or wont. When the NFL starts showing proper respect of their own volition and expence then maybe a few will pay attention to them.
Until that happens the NFL can wither and die right along with all the gambling and fantasy football crap that goes along with it.
As he has for all of his exceptional carreer, Tom Brady stood with his helmet in his left hand, facing the flag, with his right hand over his heart. Suck it up, cupcakes.
“I’m not watching.”
Same here. I don’t care if Tom offers to shoot a Roman candle outta his ***.
Not any more.
So they could be honored by the Patriots and their America-loving, anthem-singing, flag-respecting fans. That a problem for you?
Is that what he did on Unity Week? Or did he lock arms?
On second thought, I might watch that.
It is when those 200 soldiers should be doing something other than attending a football game on mine and your dime.
The NFL and the media can ESAD.

Tom Brady’s mother has an aggressive form of cancer.
She may not live for much longer.
Tom went to his mother’s birthday celebration that the entire family attended. This might be his mother’s last birthday.
If I were in the same position as Tom Brady, I would be with my mom rather than at a White House event.

How much will the team and the league fine him for his unsanctioned, unilateral, and politically-charged stunt? (Only half joking.)
Also, skip the Half-Time show, which usually (not always) is a national embarrassment of glitzy decadence.
Brady's trying to walk it back.
Both he and Kraft were among the first in the NFL last September to condemn Trump for being "divisive".
Brady was on the field "linking arms" with the rest of the "offended".
He was loudly booed by his own fans for that action.
Wonder if Tom-Terrific might be trying to placate his fans. They probably aren't falling for that one after they watched he and Kraft stab their "long time friend", DJT in the back.
A small but quite necessary part of the Military budget is PR, selling the positive image of our boys in uniform to the public at large. They’re doing God’s work, son.
Agreed. They need to clean house.
