When it comes to first impressions, Tampa didn’t exactly give the best of welcomes when new Tampa Bay Bucs QB Tom Brady found himself getting kicked out of a downtown park while working out.
Mayor Jane Castor tried to make amends by issuing a letter of apology to Brady in a welcome letter addressed to Brady and Rob Gronkowski after the two recently joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“Tom, my apologies for the miscommunication when you arrived — not the best first impression,” the mayor wrote in a letter she posted on social media on Saturday. “But given my law enforcement background, I couldn’t help but have someone investigate the sighting of a G.O.A.T running wild in one of our beautiful city parks.’
“No harm – no foul, and thanks for being a good sport.”
The 42-year-old quarterback, who has six Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots, was working out at the park and spotted by staff patrol and ordered to leave because the park was closed to the public because of the coronavirus outbreak.
The mayor also thanked Brady and Gisele for their recent donation and also addressed Rob Gronkowski.

With so many “wonderful activities,” the mayor said, listing the area’s long list of offerings, “you must be ready to pARRGHty…but not too hard (I’m talking to you Gronk).”
The addition of Brady and Gronk has turned the Bucs into an actual Super Bowl contender, just a few months after the team didn’t qualify for the postseason for the 12-straight season.
