During his weekly appearance on Boston’s WEEI radio Monday morning, the Patriots quarterback jokingly said Tom Brady Sr. won’t be speaking to reporters before Sunday’s big game.
“I’ve banned my Dad from talking, so he’s no longer available to the media,” Brady said while laughing.
Brady was commenting on his father’s recent interview with San Francisco television station KRON4, where he ripped Roger Goodell’s handing of Deflategate.

Brady then praised his father for his support.
“I love my Dad. As any parent knows how much you love your kids. My Dad has been my best friend my entire life. He’s always been my No. 1 supporter. Hopefully he’s at the game cheering me on. He’s great man and I love him to death. He’s taught me everything about life. Certainly about how to be a father because he’s been the best one a son could ever ask for. I try to pass those things on to my kids because he was so supportive of not only me but my three sisters were all great athletes in their own right. My mom, they’re still married after close to 46 years. I’ve been very, very fortunate.”
