In case you hadn’t heard, Tom Brady has decided to retire after 22 seasons in the NFL. This news has got many football fans emotional, and not all of their emotions are sadness.

Tom Brady spent 20 years playing for the New England Patriots, winning six Super Bowls, and two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning another one more.

On Tuesday, Brady expressed his deep gratitude for everything that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ players, coaches and organization did to help him along the way.

He didn’t mention anything about the New England Patriots, the team’s owner Robert Kraft, or the Pats’ long time head coach Bill Belichick.

These snubs made many fans wonder if there is some sort of bad blood between Brady and the Patriots of which they had not been made aware.

Interestingly, the dichotomy between Tom Brady’s feelings about the Buccaneers and his complete lack of acknowledgment of the Patriots is also noticeable in how each organization expressed their tributes to the quarterback.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who only had Brady for two seasons, put together a rather epic tribute video to the GOAT.

The New England Patriots, on the other hand, who have an untold number of potential highlight clips in their library, shared a drawing of TB12 in a duck boat with seven Super Bowl trophies.

The difference between the two tributes, as well as a few other notable things, did not go unnoticed by football fans.

For instance, some Buccaneers fans want to know why it appears in the New England drawing that Brady won all seven of his Super Bowls with the Patriots?

Others are naturally questioning why Brady didn’t mention New England in his retirement letter. [UPDATE: He finally said thank you.]

It’s also an odd choice by the Patriots putting Brady on a boat in their tribute since the lasting image of him riding a boat came in Tampa Bay just two years ago.

Numerous other reactions to the two tributes were also very interesting, and in many cases, downright hilarious.

What a day.
