Tom Brady had his statue unveiled just outside Gillette Stadium on Friday, marking a monumental occasion for many. Antonio Brown, however, had a less-than-flattering comparison for his former teammate.

On Sunday, the former seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver posted a side-by-side photo of the legendary quarterback and notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, noting their shared features, brown hair and square-frame glasses:

During the statue reveal, Brady insisted that he was not the only person responsible for the New England Patriots' dynasty:

"I know what this statue represents. It's not about one guy; it never is and never has been, and in football, it never will be. It's about a team and commitment to being great together."

He also dedicated his statue to the divisional rival New York Jets, who went 8-31 against him in the regular season and playoffs combined:

"It will also give Jets fans something to throw their beer at as they leave the stadium – probably in the second quarter. Maybe the third."

Skip Bayless: Tom Brady did not want Shedeur Sanders on the Raiders

These days, Tom Brady is working with another AFC franchise: the Las Vegas Raiders. While officially only a minority owner, he has been said to have significant influence over the team’s roster, a notion he has denied.

On Friday, shortly after the Cleveland Browns defeated the Carolina Panthers behind Shedeur Sanders’ 138 yards and two touchdowns on 14 completions, Skip Bayless claimed that the multiple-time Super Bowl champion had not wanted Deion Sanders’ son on the roster despite their working relationship (from 02:32 in the video below):

“You can’t tell me Tom Brady didn’t say, ‘No, no, no’ to Shedeur. They didn’t like his attitude. They didn’t like his interviews, and I kept saying watch the freaking tape. You can just watch it on TV.”

It came just two days after Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer claimed on The Rich Eisen Show that Brady had secretly flown to Las Vegas to discuss the Raiders’ quarterback options (from 34:04 in the video below):

“My understanding is the reason why is because he knows if he shows up, he takes all the oxygen out of the room... He doesn’t’ want the perception out there… that he’s lording over everything. But he certainly has an influence of the types of players they are bringing in.”

Among the decisions Tom Brady reportedly influenced were passing on Sam Darnold in free agency and Shedeur Sanders in the draft. He was also said to be a proponent of holding out for North Dakota State’s Cam Miller, who was selected in the sixth round.
