Tom is, if anything, incredibly astute about his image and his team (led by Giselle) is also incredibly astute. There's no doubt in my mind that his leaving out mention of his Patriots time was neither an oversight nor meant to give offense. His Man in Arena series clearly shows his feelings towards both Bill and the Pats organization as do his comments after the regular season game. He will do something special / different for the Patriots, his former teammates, and us fans. If you know Tom at all after twenty years, you should know to have faith.
