The seven-time Super Bowl champion will be returning to Gillette Stadium for the first time since he bolted for the Buccaneers last offseason. Brady Sr. told the station he expects the fans will give his son a warm welcome but predicted it won’t last long.
"I think that the fans at Gillette will embrace him until the opening kickoff, and then they’ll boo the hell out of him," Brady’s father said. "I think the fans appreciate everything he did for them for 20 years, but at the same time they’re Patriots’ fans."
