Patriots legends call out Brady for not picking sides in Super Bowl LX

Tom Brady not picking a side in Super Bowl LX isn't sitting well with current and former New England Patriots players.

Brady, who won six Lombardi Trophies with the Patriots, recently said he won't cheer for his former team on Feb. 8 against the Seattle Seahawks.

"I don't have a dog in the fight in this one. May the best team win," Brady recently said on the "Let's Go!" Sirius XM podcast, according to NFL.com's Grant Gordon.

However, retired defensive lineman Vince Wilfork, a former teammate of Brady in New England, called out the legendary quarterback for his comments, highlighting Brady's ties as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. Brady also serves as an NFL broadcaster at Fox.

"That's bullcrap, Tom," Wilfork recently said on WEEI. "This ain't political. It ain't political, what it is. Raiders ain't in it. Say what it is, what you see."

Wilfork added, "At the end of the day, if you're a Patriot for life, you know what it is. Don't give me that political bullcrap. That's just what it is. If you don't think we're gonna win, just pick Seattle then."

Former New England cornerback Asante Samuel said he's "highly disappointed" by Brady's remarks.

Patriots linebacker Robert Spillane also expressed his disapproval.

"Personally, it makes me sick," Spillane said Thursday, according to Karen Guregian of MassLive Sports.

All-time great tight end Rob Gronkowski, who won four Super Bowl titles with Brady, said he hasn't spoken to his former quarterback about this year's big game.

"He probably wants to be the quarterback," Gronkowski said on "Up & Adams" this week. "He's that competitive. He probably wants to be the guy in the Super Bowl right now."

Patriots' leading receiver Stefon Diggs has no issues with Brady's recent comments, though.

"Does Tony Romo still pull for the (Dallas) Cowboys? I'd be surprised," Diggs said Thursday, according to Kevin J. Stone of New England Football Journal. "Peyton Manning still loves Denver. I don't hear him say too much about the (Indianapolis) Colts."

Brady played with two current Patriots in the NFL. New England coach Mike Vrabel was a linebacker for the team from 2001-08, and Pats cornerback Carlton Davis won a Super Bowl with Brady on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
