These guys know how to connect with you about Boston sports.

I can't disagree with that.

Felger and Maz on 985, the Sports Hub.

Twitter poll, do you like Tom Brady more or less or the same as you did five years ago?

I feel like his popularity is taking a hit, and I think a lot of people are blaming them for whatever internal

strife there is. With the Patriots, introducing his body coach, chirping to the owner,

crying to the owner about where's my loyalty? And I think some people blame Tom Brady for that.

I think more so. I think Tom Brady's over-packaging, over-promoting has been a turnoff to some people.

I think the political thing was definitely a turn-off to some people. I think mostly people have gotten over it. But I think people hold it against him that he is a Trump supporter, which is completely unfair. But, you know, I just think that it's all added up to, even though he's about to win three out of four championships, he's less liked than he is than he was five years ago or even two years ago.

What are those results right now, Jimmy, on our Felger on Mass Twitter page?

5,648 respondents, 46% say more, 29% say the same, and 25% say less.

Okay, so 54% say the same or less. Which, if you think about it, what Brady has gone in the last five years, two Super Bowl titles, he endured deflakeate in which he was the scapegoat and totally blame for all of that. Like in theory, it should be higher than that. I told you, though, I thought the hardcore should still say that they liked them more. Okay, your reaction. James in California. Go, James.

Hey, I agree with you, Michael. Brady just over the years seems to have gotten weirder.

And I think the ideal scenario would have been for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl,

and then Jimmy G. take over. What do you think?

Okay, so I think this is a massive point. Some people hold against Brady, even though he's still

winning, that if you keep Garoppolo, you're good for the next 10 years, and Brady got in the way of that, not just with his play, but sort of his entitlement behind the scenes. Mike and Amherst go. Hey, guys. So I'm kind of been with Mad the whole time. I feel that, you know, Delichick always wanted to keep Garoppolo for the future.

And, you know, I'm only 18, so I'm pretty young, and I remember the whole Paul Pierce era with the Celtics and how, I know it's not apples to apples, but Danny Ains was almost able to swindle more for Pierce, and I almost think that, you know, Kraft could have done that.

Of course he could have done it.

Of course he could have done it.

I mean, it's a good analogy.

The only thing, you know, that's not totally equal is that Brady's still playing at a way higher level and those two guys were when they moved them. So that part of it is not fair to Brady. So look, I told you, I just look at the thing and say, in Brady's defense, okay, I'd have made the trade, everyone knows that.
