There seems to be nothing that will convince former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick that he was the one Tom Brady referred to as the “motherf—–r” whom a team stuck with despite Brady hitting the free-agent market in 2020. Not a few Twitter investigators would later come to their realization that maybe Tom Brady was really […]
