NCAA.com wrote:Brady will never root for the 20-year NFL veteran because of his "unhealthy" Chicago Bears obsession, but he respects Brady's work ethic, and for that, he admits Tom Brady is the greatest NFL player of all time.
So let it be known: Tom Brady, Michigan's emerging track and field star, was not named after Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. of San Mateo, California. Thomas Declan Brady's name actually dates back to his late-great grandfather, followed by his late-grandfather, father and now him. It's a family name that will likely continue into future generations.

I kind of respect the kid for staying true to his hometown team but don't really get it because it's not like the Chicago Bears are rivals were with the Patriots or Bucs, but consider me biased as I love Tom Brady the football player.

re: rojo

It doesn’t make any difference whether the Bucs and Bears are rivals. He also never said he was particularly rooting against the Bucs or Brady as he said he would not root for them. There is a difference. Also the Bucs were in the NFC Central Division with the Bears from 1977 to 2001 in case many of you were not aware. This kid may know that but either way he wasn’t a fan then. IF you are really a fan of a team you often do not root for any team in games your team is not involved but maybe you just want to see an entertaining game.

Good for him. Brady is the goat but he’s also turned into an Tony robins type lunatic that is kinda creepy.

TBH it's kind of disrespectful for this kid to go by the name of a great like Tom Brady. Presumably his full name is Thomas. Why not go by that? Kind of like insisting on using a retired number or something like that. Have some respect for those who came before you and don't ride coattails.

I believe the Buccaneers had never won a game in which the temperature was under 40 degrees. Or at the very least, it had been a very long time. They broke that streak against the Chicago Bears a few years ago. So yea, who cares about Tom Brady and the Bucs.

Disclaimer: I am also an irrationally huge Bears fan.
