However, White clarified to Katie Nolan that the whole situation is “being blown out of proportion,” and he even took a phone call from Bob Kraft.

This is just another example of how tightly wound the Brady situation has made many in the media. White was just having a little fun with the six-time Super Bowl champ and people freaked!
Bob Kraft even picked up the phone to give him a call! Stop and think about how wild that is for a moment.
I think it’s safe to say Tom Brady’s decision will continue to dictate headlines for a very long time.

As I’ve said many times before and I’ll say again, don’t buy into all the hype. The only person who knows Brady’s future plans is Tom Brady.
Everything else is second hand speculation that should be taken with a grain of salt.
