Thread: Tom Brady-Bill Belichick phone call Tuesday ‘didn’t go well’

Bill Belichick and Tom Brady have finally spoken.

The two connected by phone Tuesday, and their conversation about Brady’s pending free agency “didn’t go well,” per a source.

It was the first time Belichick had contacted Brady about his contract situation, and the Patriots’ plans going forward. The source wouldn’t shed further light on the discussion, or the particulars, other than noting it wasn’t all that fruitful.

While the contact talks appears to be off to a rocky start, it doesn’t necessarily preclude the team from signing its six-time Super Bowl winner.

The more stories that leak out like this the more I feel like we're getting played and he's just going to re-sign with the Pats.

I don't care either way. They'll cheat with or without Brady.

Long-term relationship fights like this usually end with one party or the other yelling "Oh yeah?!? Well I f---ed your sister!"

In Alabama do they end with, "oh yeah? Well I ****** MY sister!"?

I think this is entirely likely...

But at the same time, you know Bellichick isn't leaking this -- so you wonder if there's a little smoke to the fire. Plus I can't shake what Peter King wrote last week:

3. Listen to Jeff Darlington. The ESPN NFL reporter is tight with the Brady camp. He’s not nipping-on-the-fringes tight; he’s legitimate inside-the-circle tight. I’ve seen it. So when Darlington says he’d be stunned if Brady returned to the Patriots, I pay attention. I’m not sure I would say the same, but I definitely take notice. I notice because of the kind of person Tom Brady is.

Tom Brady is a cancer and the Patriots need to move on from him.
