Tom Brady was back in Foxborough this week for the unveiling of his statue outside of Gillette Stadium after 20 years of dominance in New England.
For two decades, Brady helped lead the Patriots to six Super Bowl victories, 13 AFC Championship appearances and an unreal 17 division titles over the likes of the Bills, Dolphins and Jets.
Unfortunately for the latter, it wasn't enough that Brady had a 31-8 record against Gang Green. But he also made sure to rub a little salt in the wound at the conclusion of his acceptance speech.
"In the end, the statue isn't just for Pats fans," Tom said. "It'll also give all the Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium every year. Probably in the second quarter. Maybe the third."
“This statue isn’t just for Pats fans. It will also give all the Jets fans something to throw their beers at as they leave the stadium every year.”

Fans couldn't help but laugh at the GOAT's savagery online.
"What a Legend " a user replied.
"Jets fans catching a stray EVERYDAY " Fanatics Sportsbook cried.
"We beat this guy like once in 20 years. Why can’t he just leave us be, we're not hurting anyone," a New Yorker posted.
"I hate that he's so likable," Lawrence Hamtil commented.
"This is why I respect the Giants bc they beat his ass twice," a Jets fan shared.
"As a football fan I respect Tom Brady. As a Bills fan I hate him so much…..so much," another user admitted.
"Jets still living rent free in Brady's head. He's still mad about that ass kicking Rex gave him in 2011 " another fan coped.
"bro imagine if the Jets did not injure Drew Bledsoe in that game. low-key they started this reign of terror," another person pointed out.
"Tom freakin Brady everyone."
Brady's statue reportedly stands 17 feet tall to represent those aforementioned AFC East crowns — with the three-time MVP's body measuring 12 feet as a nod to his iconic jersey number.
In fairness to Jets fans, they did have that one shining moment over Brady's Pats during the Rex Ryan years. But for the most part, it was a living nightmare that ran twice a year, every season for multiple generations of J-E-T-S supporters.
