Tom Brady honors Patriots, Buccaneers teammates, coaches in new retirement post

Tom Brady officially retired from the NFL earlier this week and, intentionally or not, sparked some controversy when he publicly thanked members of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a lengthy statement but omitted any mention of the New England Patriots, his NFL home for two decades and where he won six of seven career Super Bowl rings. 

Patriots owner Robert Kraft later honored Brady in a heartfelt message but allegedly threw a "temper tantrum" after the quarterback's supposed snub. Brady has since mentioned the Patriots numerous times on his Instagram story, and he did so again via a video he shared on social media late Thursday morning.
