Well, I think it’s safe to say that Tom Brady is a better person than I am, judging from these comments. If a player quit on me while the team was losing, my reaction would be much different.
I would be absolutely livid and I wouldn’t care who knew it.

Yet, Brady took the high road and refused to publicly rip Brown. That takes a lot of class and maturity. If he had torched his former receiver, nobody would have blamed him.
Instead, he talked about compassion and understanding.
