For a guy who yells at his teammates on the sidelines , Tom Brady doesn't exactly appear to be the poster child for being a big team guy himself.
It was revealed over the weekend that the Buccaneers quarterback was one of the many celebrity attendees at Patriots owner Robert Kraft's wedding on Friday night. Turns out, Brady also missed team walk-through ahead of Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers -- which the Bucs lost 20-18.
Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft married Dana Blumberg last night at Hall des Lumières in lower Manhattan. Guests included Tom Brady, Roger Goodell, Adam Silver, Randy Moss, Vince Wilfork and Jon Bon Jovi.

Tom Brady is about to take a lot of heat for attending Robert Kraft's big bash Friday night in NY - justifiable heat.

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles insisted during his postgame press conference that Brady didn't miss anything by not being with the team on Saturday. But given how discombobulated Tampa Bay's offense looked, it's fair to wonder if Bowles really believed what he was saying.

When asked if it impacted Brady's lack of production in the red zone, Bowles said "absolutely not."
Brady didn't help his own case during the game, either, when he was caught on camera berating his o-line -- just the latest outburst the aging QB has had this season.
