Week 4 will feature Tom Brady returning to Foxborough to face the New England Patriots for the first time as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There will be a ton of hype surrounding this Sunday Night Football matchup, with NBC already making epic Adele promos for the event.
There will surely be plenty of conversation about how Brady left the Patriots and his relationship with Bill Belichick. Brady's longtime trainer, Alex Guerrero, threw fuel on the fire last week when he offered up his take on how the relationship broke down over time.
To the surprise of nobody, Belichick has little interest in talking about how things ended with Brady in New England. The Patriots coach just wants to appreciate Brady's accomplishments:
Belichick tells us he doesn't want to rehash rhe dynamics of Brady's departure. Has "so much appreciation" for Tom and all he accomplished here in New England. #Patriots #Buccaneers

Again, it's no surprise that Belichick doesn't want to open up about how things ended with Brady in New England. There clearly was some tension there, which is only natural when two highly successful individuals are together in sports for such a long time. Even all that winning can't always mask relationship problems when big egos are involved.
Belichick would rather look ahead than look back, and looking ahead means preparing for that Sunday night matchup against Brady's current team. Both the Patriots and Buccaneers are coming off losses, with New England getting smoked by the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay getting handled by the Los Angeles Rams.
There will be plenty of emotion in Foxborough when the Patriots and Buccaneers get together, and hopefully the game will live up to the hype.
