Tom Brady refuses to pick sides as Patriots return to Super Bowl: 'Don’t have a dog in the fight'


Tom Brady discusses what being prepared (or over-prepared) means entering the Super Bowl, and how he was ready for each big game.

The New England Patriots find themselves back in the Super Bowl for the first time since the Tom Brady Era in Foxborough, and it’s been quite the turnaround for the franchise that won only four games in back-to-back seasons heading into 2025.

But, while Brady spent 20 seasons leading the Patriots at quarterback, he is now a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, while also serving as a FOX Sports announcer during the season.

So, is Brady still rooting for his old squad?

"I don’t have a dog in the fight in this one," Brady said on his "Let’s Go" podcast, which came out on Monday night. "May the best team win."

"And in terms of the Patriots, this is a new chapter in New England, and I’m glad everyone’s embraced the Mike Vrabel regime. All the amazing players that have worked so hard to get their club to this position. We did it for 20 years. There was a little bit of a hiatus in there, but the Patriots are back, and it’s a very exciting time for everyone in New England."
