For the past 20 years, we have heard the term ‘Patriot Way’ when referred to the New England Patriots. Many have argued that it was built by Tom Brady, while others would argue that Bill Belichick is the reason behind it.
Danny Amendola, a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Patriots who caught passes from Brady and was coached by Belichick for five seasons, went super viral on social media when he praised his former quarterback, all while dissing his former head coach.
“When you see ‘Patriot Way’ in the dictionary, it’s gonna have Tom Brady’s name next to it,” Amendola said on FS1’s “First Things First” Monday morning.
“None of those coaches threw any passes; none of those coaches caught any passes; none of those coaches made any tackles. They got guys in the right position because they watch a lot of film and spend all their time at the facility, but Tom Brady is the ‘Patriot Way,’ and that’s the reason Tom Brady’s in the Super Bowl right now and the Patriots aren’t.”
Brady appeared to take that Patriot way with him to Tampa as he has led the team to a Super Bowl berth in his first season with the franchise.
The Patriots, meanwhile, finished under .500 and missed the playoffs.
