Tom Brady makes shocking revelation about Patriots-Seahawks Super Bowl rooting interest

Tom Brady helped the New England Patriots win six Super Bowl championships during his legendary playing career, and he has been immortalized via a statue placed outside of the Patriots' Gillette Stadium. Thus, one couldn't be blamed for assuming that Brady will be rooting for New England to defeat the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX this coming Sunday. 

During the latest edition of the "Let's Go!" SiriusXM show and podcast, Brady suggested he will be a neutral observer on Feb. 8. 

Tom Brady not picking sides ahead of Patriots-Seahawks Super Bowl?

"I don't have a dog in the fight in this one," Brady told broadcaster Jim Gray about the upcoming Super Bowl matchup, per Grant Gordon of the NFL's website. "And in terms of the Patriots, this is a new chapter in New England, and I'm glad everyone's embraced the Mike Vrabel regime, all the amazing players that have worked so hard to get their club to this position. We did it for 20 years. There was a little bit of a hiatus in there, but the Patriots are back, and it's a very exciting time for everyone in New England."

Brady played alongside Vrabel when the first-year New England head coach earned three Super Bowl rings while featuring for the Patriots from 2001 through the 2008 season. Additionally, Brady and current Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels both collected six Super Bowl rings during the franchise's dynastic run. 

"Josh McDaniels, who's been a great friend of mine as well," Brady continued. "And again, you root for people, and you want them to have great performances. …I just wanna see good football. I wanna see good plays, good throws, good strategy, good decisions."

Tom Brady now in a different chapter of football journey?

Brady currently serves as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and as Fox's lead in-game analyst. Meanwhile, Brady's Raiders may soon hire Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as their new head coach. 

"I think there's always different chapters in your life and you have different chapters and moments that you go through where you're affiliated with a certain team," Brady added. "At Michigan, and then I was with the Patriots for 20 years. I was with [the Tampa Bay Buccaneers] for three amazing years. I've been in broadcasting. Now I'm an owner of the Raiders. So those memories that I have are forever ingrained in me, and I'm indebted to all the people who worked so hard to help make our team successful. And now in a different phase in my life, I really root for people and the people I care about, the people who I know the work that goes into what they're trying to accomplish. So I really wanna sit back as a fan and enjoy the game, enjoy the moment." 

Perhaps Brady will feel differently about the outcome of Super Bowl LX upon learning that neither former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick nor team owner Robert Kraft reportedly received enough votes to be included in this year's Hall of Fame class.
