Tom Brady’s ‘Ridiculous’ Pizza Cheat Meal Leaves Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski Mocking Their Patriots Legend (Getty Images)
Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman put the question to him ahead of Week 9: What was your last cheat meal? The Patriots then lost to Green Bay easily, and the pizza joke was the only part of the day that landed. Green Bay won easily, and running back Rhamondre Stevenson got a troubling injury update afterward.
Brady, who built a reputation on a strict diet, said it was an average cheese pizza at his sister’s house. Tom Brady ate pizza the night before Patriots-Packers, and his old teammates made sure he heard about it. Gronkowski was being honored by the team that weekend, which turned the exchange into a small reunion. He is not alone. TreVeyon Henderson and AJ Brown have also been hurt on offense. A bad update on a running back always makes it harder for a team to find rhythm.
Head coach Mike Vrabel is working through all of it. When someone asked him bluntly whether the team has a locker room problem, he gave an answer fans did not expect.
