Tom Brady can take the heat — and the hate — from Rex Ryan.
Brady said on Friday morning that he’s “cool” with the Jets coach’s assertion that the Patriotsquarterback is the most hated man in the country.
Ryan states the claim in his soon-to-be-released book, “Play Like You Mean It.”
Responding to Brady’s famous quote that he “hates” the Jets, Ryan writes “I really don’t know Tom Brady, but who wouldn’t hate him? Look at his life. Actually, look at his wife. Every man in America hates Tom Brady, and he should be proud of that.”
On Friday, Brady laughed when asked about Ryan and the Jets, jokingly referring to Gang Green as his “favorite subject.”
He then addressed Ryan’s comments.
“As long as he hates me, I’m cool. He’s the leader of that team and the players take after their coach,” Brady said. “Look, they’ve had successful postseasons, getting to the AFC Championship Game. So I’m sure we’ll be prepared to play them when we do.”
There’s been plenty of rhetoric between Ryan and Brady this past season. It started when Brady said on Boston radio station WEEI in the preseason that he “hated” the Jets in response to a question about the HBO show “Hard Knocks.”
