I think this was pretty amusing. I'm sure since it's Brady it will become a huge deal.
He shouldn't have said it, and I'm delighted by how minor Brady's embarrassing "shouldn't have said/done that" flap is when he finally has one.

People are way to sensitive these days. Big deal Brady told his home town fans to get drunk and cheer loud. And you now what Rex was obviously joking when he said what he said. He knows visiting fans have all the right in the world to wear there team apparel without feeling threaten.

Why shouldn't he have said it? Are we so PC that it's now wrong to suggest that people get drunk before they watch their football team? Personally, I would have preferred if he'd just told everyone to start pregaming it 1 and get properly wasted.
Sounds like Brady is tired of the pink hat crowd to me.
I wonder if he is also tired of collecting a 1.25MM paycheck per game? Even if the red seats don't get filled until 5 minutes left in the first quarter, they're still paid for......
All my drinking half assed remarks aside, I see no point paying hundreds of dollars to go to the great experience of a Patriots game and drink so that I'm compromised in my ability to watch every play from the unique wide angle vantage point of the stands. Cheap beer is available in mass quantities at most any other time for those so inclined.

Luckily this isn't baseball. It doesn't matter where the money is coming from, each football city has the same cap to work with. He'd still be making that 1.25M if he was playing in Heinz field or Lambeau, or SEA, or CHI, you know, a town where the fans are big, loud, and drunk and give great homefield advantage.
All that excess "pink hat" money goes to Kraft and the league, not the players.
If you don't feel like being a loud, active fan, here's my advice: Stay home and watch it on TV. Let the real fans go support the team.

No
The cap as a whole is based on all the revenue, so the CBA agreed % does go to the players in the form of the cap total.

That is true, but how much of all the Foxboro revenue actually goes to the league (as in concessions, restaurants/shopping/entertainment at Patriot place, etc)? I mean, Kraft is pulling a lot of pink hatters because of how he built up the area around the stadium and I'm sure most of that is not going to the league/players.
My point remains though that it isn't team dependent. It's not as if he is making twice as much playing on a Yankees than he would elsewhere, he makes the same regardless of where he is.
