Watch: Tom Brady Calls Texas Tech a ‘Glorified Community College’

Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady took a completely unnecessary and pointed shot at Texas Tech during his commencement speech at Georgetown University. Brady was sharing the comeback story from Super Bowl 51 when the Patriots trailed the Falcons 28-3, before they began one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history. Here’s a look at Brady’s transcript that led up to the zinger, this way you have the full context. You can see the community college line bolded below.

 

Tom Brady’s Georgetown Transcript

“The whole point of doing hard things is to build resilience and the skills to overcome adversity. It’s to teach you how to find your own pathways to success. This is where you get the self-confidence to overcome your next biggest challenge. You do it the same way you overcome a 25-point deficit, one decision at a time, one play at a time.

Understanding this served me well on every step of my journey, including that step into the huddle on that fourth down with the outcome of the Super Bowl, 99.7% guaranteed that we lose. We called the play. It was a little square out to Danny Amendola.

Danny went undrafted out of Texas Tech. He was cut by three NFL teams. He wasn’t the tallest. He wasn’t the fastest, but he had a huge heart, and he played his ass off in the biggest moments. I hope you guys find colleagues like Danny. Having business school friends are great. Don’t get me wrong, but sometimes you need a kid from a glorified community college who can bail your ass out of any jam. If you want to achieve great things, surround yourself with people like him.

Danny snatched that ball out of the air on fourth down, he took it up the sideline for a first down, and seven plays later, we were in the end zone, 28 to 9. 99.7% chance of losing just went down to 98.9%.”

Isn’t this everything that people from middle America can’t stand about coastal elites? First off, how many Texas Tech graduates coming out of the Bob L. Herd Department of Petroleum Engineering are about to go make a fortune in the oil industry after graduation, while graduates with a humanities degree from Georgetown are set to become baristas after they accept their diplomas? Just curious.

Below is the video, along with the best zinger yet from a Texas Tech fan.

Patrick Mahomes, now its your turn brother.
