Who is the ‘mother f—er’ Tom Brady is talking about? Twitter names Jimmy Garoppolo the target

Tom Brady, luckily, has enough money to throw a dollar bill in the swear jar.

Brady’s free agency courtship following the 2019 NFL season was pretty well documented and reported, with the quarterback having several landing spots that made sense for his services

In a brief trailer for HBO’s next “The Shop” episode, Brady offers a delicious tease, citing disbelief to a certain incumbent quarterback — he calls a “mother f—er” — would be the reason for him not signing with a team.
