Listening to Tom on WEEI, I really enjoyed what he had to say when asked how long he plans to play. There might also be a not-so-hidden dig in there...
Quote:
As for how long Brady plans to play, he said: "I feel like the best I've ever felt." He added: "Assuming my arm feels great, there aren't a lot of other things that are going to keep me from wanting to play. ... I'll just keep playing 'til I'm collecting social security."
Brady was asked if other interests might draw him away from the game. He said that he has his priorities straight and appreciates his good fortune, unlike some other players.
"As athletes, we are incredible spoiled," Brady said, citing players wasting their money on frivolous things. "Then we hear athletes go, 'I'm just trying to feed my family.' That really bothers me. ... I don't lose track of that. I feel I'm very blessed to play football."
Listen to the whole thing (which suffers from bouts of tedium) here: Dennis and Callahan

I didn't see any digs there, hidden or not. I have seen him mention as long as a team wants to pay or sign him, but that's less a dig on his present contract status than a savvy guy who knows he can't project as a management doormat - he has to maintain some level of empathetic connection with his teamates who struggle more than he does with that feeding the family crap.
"Assuming my arm feels great, there aren't a lot of other things that are going to keep me from wanting to play. ... I'll just keep playing 'til I'm collecting social security."
I'm just hoping that Junior Seau doesn't tell TFB the tax consequences to the SS checks when you're still workin'.
Tom feels he's blessed to play football. Well, as a half century Patriots fan I know I'm blessed to have TFB play for my team, especially given the surrounding quality owner, HC, staff and players. May he continue in the best of health.

What Tom says in public, he likely says in greater detail, and much more colorfully
in the locker room. Sending a clear message obout the Patriot culture exemplified by the players in the BB era. A culture that's possibly been strained a bit as several vets depart for big money deals and other vets who epitimized that culture in both behaviour and vocal leadership retired. Time to inculcate the younguns.
