Okay, ladies and

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, Phil Perry will join in just a moment. But if you hadn't had enough

0:26.4

Snubgate, you've come to the right place. Snubgate, day three, rolls on Tom Brady releasing a video

0:33.4

earlier today, which in essence revisits his comments that he made about Patriots fans in October,

0:39.4

which really revisits the comments he made about Patriots fans in March of 2020.
