Tom Brady the King of High-Fives, made his weekly radio appearance and addressed the fact he was criticism for not congratulating rookie Jimmy Garoppolo on his first TD pass as a pro.
Here is what he had to say via ESPN.
“I’m really not [aware of the cameras],” Brady said when asked about the criticism he has taken for not high-fiving Garoppolo. “When we lose there’s really not a lot — even when we win I think it’s just important to not ride the roller coaster of emotions. You have to believe in your process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.
“I was happy for Jimmy. I was happy for our team. We kept fighting at the end. That’s a good thing. The more good players we have, the better we will be as a team. So, I didn’t pay attention to any of those things. I was obviously disappointed that the outcome of the game was what it was. It’s been very frustrating all season the way that we have performed offensively. But we are trying to figure it out to become a better offense.”
Probably true. When you are an ultra competitor like Brady and you are getting your butt kicked, you probably aren’t thinking about high-fiving your potential replacement from garbage TDs.
