Tom Brady has yet to comment publicly on a date being set for his highly anticipated return to New England, but his father is already bringing the smack talk.

Tom Brady Sr. called into the “Zolak & Bertrand Show” on 98.5 The Sports Hub on Thursday morning to share how excited he is for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to face the Patriots in Week 4. The elder Brady said he started “salivating” when the schedule came out.

This is fantastic. Tom Brady Sr. just cold-called @ZoandBertrand to talk @Buccaneers schedule. "I started salivating when I saw that we're playing the @Patriots in the fourth game of the season; and we're coming up here to make our record 4-0."

Brady Sr. added that he expects his son and the Bucs to “beat the Patriots rather handily.” He then admitted he still roots for New England when the situation allows.

"We expect to beat the Patriots rather handily."

I think Tom Sr.'s messing around. "I get to have a favorite team in the AFC and I got a favorite team in the NFC, and then they play in the fourth game of the year. I'm thrilled for this." https://t.co/l5vWDo5v7Y
